For people too young for this show. The show was being animated and voiced on a weekly basis with aggressive timelines for getting out each episode. The original show was supposed to be 24 episodes to a season but MTV decided to cancel it at Episode 13. So the final episode involved everyone being frozen with a message basically begging people to help them get the show uncancelled..... which it never did.

The show became super popular with the torrent generation and yeah... it really does look like they're targeting millennials badly on HBO Max.

Also of note, the janitor in Clone High was voiced by Neil Flynn, aka the janitor in Scrubs. Bill Lawrence once confirmed(or joked) that they were the same character.

"Do me a favour? Have yourself a great day!"

That does not sound like the janitor from Scrubs.

Certain events happened in Clone High that made him the bitter character we see in Scrubs.

I don't think that was the case? It was a 13 episode order that MTV US never actually finished airing (until they aired it on MTV Classic in 2016) due to both low ratings and the Gandhi controversy.

Yeah Teletoon in Canada aired all of them, albeit out of order with a holiday episode in April a month after they aired the finale in March... which itself was after a month break. MTV only aired 8 of the 13 episodes originally.

Yeah, I remember having to download the last few episodes on Limewire because it did fully air in Canada.

I’ve heard no Gandhi in the reboot and that makes me not interested in it.

Which seems ironic... since they got done cancelling most of the shows niched to millennials (which also had too many LGBTs and POC to the new owners' likings)
