clone high appreciation thread

Sign in to disble this ad
for those of you that arent familiar, go learn yourself some comedy greatness.

i did a search and there were a couple mentions, but there was no thread about it. this show has improved my quality of life, and has been the source of inside jokes between me and my friends for about 5 years now.

its a real outrage that it was taken off the air because a bunch of indian folk were pissed off at the comical portrayal of ghandi. get a sense of humor.. we mocked all of our own historical figures as well.

bill lawrence is a comic genius, and this show should be brought back.

That's the official reason the show shut down, but if it had decent ratings, a protest in a different country wouldn't mean a thing.

Blame MTV, they jerked around the show when it was on, like they did underGRADS. A steady timeslot is needed for a show to be successful.

But yeah, great show. I have had them on DVD for a couple of years now, and around Christmas time I always get the urge to dust them out...the Snowflake Day episode is classic.

Clone was indeed awesome, I would really like to see second series.

MTV have a habit of axing really good shows (did anyone see Downtown?). What's more they don't release the DVDs either, or at least not over here. We can't even get the Daria series for gods' sake.

The first time I saw this episode, it really brought me to tears. That show is a classic that will never get true and full recognition.

We still have the inside joke lines in my family too. My son discovered the series for us and bought a DVD online from someone in Canada. Years later, he and my daughter and I still quote it.

"Why the long face, Abe Lincoln? Genetics?"


And my favorite line from the whole series... "Nothing bad ever happens to a Kennedy."...WHAM!

I also like:

"I'm a Kennedy! I'm not accustomed to tragedy!"
