"Clone High USA" - Talkback

[Lonestarr]

Wow.

I take back all the cruel things I thought about this show. It's a howl. Addressing some of the comments (which border uncomfortably on spam):

- "Cleopatra's personality was non-existant." She was popular and shallow. The way I see it, that was supposed to be the idea.

- "They also gave us 'Cardcaptors'." Are you still talking about that?! So it's one mistake the company made. One! Let it go!

- "sorry, there wasn't even a half second of humor in it." You should see a doctor as soon as yesterday. You're missing your funny bone.

The show was terrific on so many levels:

Gandhi remarking about Joan's...additions, the "Mr. Belvedere" reference (did anyone else catch this?), the attempts to buy beer and the design of Van Gogh's bedroom.

I feel I have to devote a whole paragraph to JFK. This guy is a riot. I'd quote some of his lines, but they may not be too approrpiate. The scene in the bathroom was a gem ("...and by 'will', I mean 'won't'. (he walks out, then comes back in) Be coming to my party. (leaves then returns) 'Cause you're not invited. I just wanted to make sure if I wasn't clear earlier. (one more time) Forgot to wash my hands.")

Only negatives were the somewhat heavy-handed treatment of Eleanor Roosevelt and whenever they did any teen love triangle crapola. Those moments caused the show to screech to a halt. Other than that, pure gold. I implore you to give it a chance.

Yeah, I know, but let's enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Turns out Dave Wasson wasn't involved in the show.

The show's art direction actually comes from Carey Yoast, who storyboards for Samurai Jack. Other staff members have been involved with the Powerpuff Girls (TV and movie) as well. The writers come from the Man Show, Simpsons, generic sitcoms and more.

That really blows. With the way some of the characters were designed, I could swear Dave did it (or at least some of his crew), despite that no one had those bell-bottom legs (anyone who watches Time Squad knows what I'm taking about. If not, please PM me or post it here).

I saw an episode. The animation reeks of PPG (am I right or randomly wrong?)

It was okay for 5 minutes than I figured out what it was. I'm a little suprised they could sink that low to do a show and destroy memorable people from history in the proccess.

Like the cloning projects with the Raelians... I think this should be put to an immediate stop.

Clone High looks more like Dexter's Lab and Time Squad (despite that the creator didn't do this show) animation-wise. So to answer you, you're semi-right. It does look like something Genndy Tartakovsky (sp?) and Dave Wasson (the guy who did Time Squad) would do.
