This show only lasted thirteen episodes, but we've talked about this before. Almost all of the shows I love die young. There are lots of rumors why Clone High was canceled: MTV was sued over the portrayal of Gandhi, MTV just sucks, etc. The only certain thing is that this show is hilarious, if a little crude.
The premise is that the government cloned a bunch of famous people, and now those people are all in high school. Clone High makes no attempt to be believable in the science department; there are clones running around of people whose DNA we do not have. Joan of Arc and Jesus, for example.
The three main clones are Abe Lincoln, Joan of Arc, and Gandhi. They all appear in this clip from the first episode:
Season 1, Episode 1
Most of the characters are a joy to watch, and at least three of them are voiced by actors who were also on Scrubs, if that means anything to you.
This clip is from the Very Special episode (they're all Very Special episodes) about how those with ADD still deserve to live a normal life, and it features Joan of Arc's blind foster grandfather, Principal Scudworth, and JFK's foster dads:
Season 1 Episode 3
