It premiered on November 2, 2002 in Canada, and January 20, 2003 in the United States. Set at a [[high school]] populated by the [[Human cloning|clones]] of well-known [[historical figure]]s, the series follows its central cast which includes adolescent depictions of [[Abraham Lincoln|Abe Lincoln]], [[Joan of Arc]], [[Mahatma Gandhi|Gandhi]], [[Cleopatra]] and [[John F. Kennedy|JFK]]. The series also serves as a parody of [[teen drama]]s such as ''[[Dawson's Creek]]'', ''[[Degrassi]]'', and ''[[Beverly Hills, 90210]]''; every episode is humorously introduced as a "[[very special episode]]" with narration provided by [[Will Forte]]. Lord and Miller first developed the series' concept, originally titled ''Clone High School, USA!'', while at [[Dartmouth College]] in the 1990s, later pitching it to executives of the [[Fox Broadcasting Company]] during their tenure at [[Disney]], who ultimately decided to pass on the program. The rights were purchased by [[Viacom International]] to air on their [[cable television|cable]] channel [[MTV]], producing the series between 2002 and 2003; Disney's television arm [[Touchstone Television]] retains a production credit. The show's design is heavily stylized and its animation style is limited, emphasizing humor and story over visuals. The ''Clone High'' theme song, "Master (Clone High Theme)", was written by [[Tommy Walter]] and performed by his [[alternative rock]] band [[Abandoned Pools]]. The series was produced by [[Bill Lawrence (TV producer)|Bill Lawrence]], who also produced ''[[Scrubs (TV series)|Scrubs]]'', ''[[Spin City]]'' and ''[[Cougar Town]]''. Many ''Scrubs'' alumni, such as [[Zach Braff]], [[Donald Faison]], [[Sarah Chalke]], [[John C. McGinley]], [[Neil Flynn]], and [[Christa Miller]], provided the voices of characters in ''Clone High'' for free, with Flynn also reprising his role from ''Scrubs'' as [[Janitor (Scrubs)|the Janitor (Glenn)]] in a recurring role. Writing and voice work were done at [[North Hollywood Medical Center]], where ''Scrubs'' was filmed.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}} The first season premiered on Canadian cable channel [[Cartoon Network (Canadian TV channel)|Teletoon]]'s late-night programming block [[Teletoon at Night|The Detour on Teletoon]] on November 2, 2002, and [[MTV]] in the United States on January 20, 2003. It became embroiled in controversy regarding its depiction of Gandhi soon afterward, which prompted over 100 people in [[India]] to mount a [[hunger strike]] in response. Shortly after, MTV canceled the series, which had been receiving low ratings; the last episodes of the first season were seen in 2016 on [[MTV Classic (American TV channel)|MTV Classic]] in the United States. ''Clone High'' received mixed reviews from television critics upon its premiere, but it has since received critical acclaim and a [[cult following]]. On July 2, 2020, it was announced that a revival of the series was in development at [[MTV Entertainment Studios]] with the creators Lord, Miller, and Lawrence returning. On February 10, 2021, it was announced that HBO Max had ordered two seasons of the revival, which premiered on May 23, 2023. The second season of the revival (third season overall) premiered with all ten episodes on February 1, 2024. On July 26, 2024, the revival of the series was canceled after two seasons, leaving the series on another cliffhanger. ==Premise== ''Clone High'' is set in a [[high school]] in the fictional town of Exclamation, US, that is secretly being run as an elaborate military experiment orchestrated by a [[Federal government of the United States|government office]] called the Secret Board of Shadowy Figures.<ref name=":6">{{Cite news |last=Hadadi |first=Roxana |date=June 13, 2023 |title=How Clone High Rose From the Dead An oral history of Phil Lord and Chris Miller's vexed animation experiment and its unlikely return 20 years later. |url=https://www.vulture.com/article/an-oral-history-of-clone-high.html |access-date=July 9, 2024 |work=[[Vulture (website)|Vulture]]}}</ref> The school is entirely populated by the [[Human cloning|clones]] of famous historical figures who were created in the 1980s{{Sfn|Davé|2013|p=76}}<ref name="post">{{cite journal |last=Owen |first=Rob |date=January 12, 2003 |title=Historical figures sent back to the drawing board |url=http://old.post-gazette.com/tv/20030112clone0112fnp3.asp |url-status=live |journal=[[Pittsburgh Post-Gazette]] |pages=D-3 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402090311/http://old.post-gazette.com/tv/20030112clone0112fnp3.asp |archive-date=2015-04-02 |access-date=March 29, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Perlmutter |first1=David |title=The Encyclopedia of American Animated Television Shows |date=2018 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |isbn=978-1538103739 |page=129}}</ref> and raised with the intent of having their various strengths and abilities harnessed by the [[United States military]].<ref name=":6" /> The [[school principal|principal]] of the high school, Cinnamon J.
