This show became pretty popular with the internet despite airing for one season on MTV. One of the main characters was a clone of Gandhi which people in India really didn't like... which is why he's not coming back, and part of the reason the show ended.

The show soundtrack is very Midwest emo/pop punk so I'd be surprised if BRTD never heard of it. Hopefully the trailer is evidence they're trying to recapture that early aughts feel.

It's airing on HBO Max next month. I was pleasantly surprised to see season one added to the catalogue last night.

These new character designs are some of the worst I've ever seen, JFK's voice sounds like it's missing its manic energy, and everything just feels off. Clone High should have gone longer than a single season but twenty years later I don't think this is necessary.

Like Animaniacs, it's too late.

I was a big fan of season 1 in high school. Hopefully season 2 is good. Didn't watch the preview and not sure I'll watch season 2 unless people tell me it's good.

The theme song is by Abandoned Pools, which is a solo project with a really good emo rock album Humanistic. Highly recommended. It's not what BRTD would call emo rock, but it's what a lot of mainstream people would call emo rock.

Yeah this ain't emo.

However some research says that a song from Cadillac Blindside, a now pretty obscure emoish band from Minneapolis appeared on the soundtrack once so it's worth checking out for that reason alone!

Jesus, I swear everything that was even remotely cult is coming back now. And that's coming from someone who was a big fan of the first series.

JFK's voice sounds like it's missing its manic energy

fowah suppah I err uhh wanna pawty plattah

I'm disappointed with the voice changes too, but not at all surprised considering it's been 20 years. I actually give them credit for keeping the overall art style, even if the character designs have subtle differences.

Yeah this ain't emo.

Ah, they deleted the clip (now that Clone High is profitable again of course) I was going to show you of Abe and JFK racing. "Understanding In A Car Crash" plays in the background, so I figured the soundtrack alone would've meant you were a fan.

Yeah I've actually never watched it before but you got me intrigued! and BTW you should really listen to Cadillac Blindside.

I rewatched all of the first season a few weeks ago to get ready. Did anyone see the first two episodes out now? It seems like fans are mixed but generally approve. People didn't care for the pilot, but I guess everyone's getting used to the new characters, who started blending in well. I'll miss Gandhi, but he was never my favorite character in the first place. It exceeded my expectations overall.

There's a lot of cancel culture jokes, and since Gandhi's character is one of the main reasons it was canceled, I expect the writers will be digging at it often.

Also, Abandoned Pools recorded the theme song again with updated lyrics!
