PurpleTentacle May 25, 2023 Share May 25, 2023 Seems weird that this is called "Clone High (2023)" instead of just "Clone High season 2", which this is. When arrested development came back it wasn't called "Arrested Development (2014)". Did the original show really get cancelled because of Gandhi? Why? He doesn't seem any more offensive than all the other characters. which is to say "very", but in an endearing way. So far this is even more funny than season 1. I approve.

ottoDbusdriver May 25, 2023 Share May 25, 2023 Watched the first 2 episodes -- just as funny as Season 1. The Season 1 cliffhanger with all the clones getting frozen was the ideal plot device to allow all the Season 1 clones to go 20 years without aging. In the opening sequence, here's the list of all names on the file folders: Abe Lincoln Abigail Adams Anne Boleyn Anne Brontë Attila the Hun Beethoven Betsy Rosse Buddha Catherine the Great Charlotte Brontë Cleopatra Confucius Dean Martin Emily Brontë Eva Peron Frank Sinatra Frida Kahlo Gene Kelly Genghis Khan George Washington Geogre Washington Carver Groucho Marx Harriet Tubman Harvey Milk Helen of Troy Henry Rathbone Henry VIII Isaac Newton Jayne Mansfield Jesus Cristo JFK Joan of Arc John Adams John Belushi John Quincy Adams Julius Caesar Lyndon Johnson Marie Antoinette Marie Curie Marilyn Monroe Moses Mother Teresa Napoleon Bonaparte Nikola Tesla Nostradamus Paul Revere Peter Lawford Ponce de Leon Rock Hudson Sam Adams Sammy Davis Jr. Sigmund Freud St. Peter Susan B. Anthony Thomas Edison Tom Mix Van Gogh William Howard Taft Winston Churchill Several file folder names were crossed out, including: Gandhi They didn't "survive" the unfreezing process. 1 hour ago, PurpleTentacle said: Did the original show really get cancelled because of Gandhi?

From the article you linked: Quote This clone of Gandhi on Clone High was a party animal, a lady's man and an all-around loser with a jerk's personality. People in India heard about the depiction of Gandhi and were so angered that they wanted the show canceled. Seems like that depiction was pretty harmless compared to the real guy: https://www.thecrimson.com/article/1983/3/7/the-truth-about-gandhi-pbtbhe-movie/ My personal highlight is how he prevented his wife from getting penicillin, that would have saved her life, but when he was infected with Malaria, he couldn't get medicine into his veins fast enough.

MrWhyt June 7, 2023 Share June 7, 2023 everyone's voice seems off, but I guess 20 years will do that to you. I understand recasting Cleo, but hwy have the orginal actress take a new prominent role? it confuses my tiny brain. Link to comment
JTMacc99 June 8, 2023 Share June 8, 2023 This sounds like a fun show. Do I need to, or would it be useful to, watch season 1, or should I just jump in to the new episodes? Link to comment

I'm glad that I didn't watch this back in the day and then had to deal with it being cancelled, because it is fun and super clever.

Though perhaps , without the benefit/curse of 20 years of nostalgia, you'll enjoy the new season more than i did. 1 Link to comment
King of TV October 7, 2023 Share October 7, 2023 Not having Ghandi in the reboot is a no brainer, it's what got the show cancelled to begin with. The new voices sound off in this reboot, especially cleo. Link to comment
