WHY DID THEY CANCEL IT!?!?!?

I heard that Ghandi's daughter sued the makers of the show. Apparently it's blasphemy towards Ghandi and his greatness. I'm not patronizing or anything. Anyway, they're clones and everything so why would they be exactly the way they were in their time? I don't understand myself why they cancelled it and much worse TV shows are left on air but I guess the fact that it's too contraversial makes sense.

I currently work with the creative consultant who worked on clone high, basically it is true that the series were cancelled due to the Ghandi character. An asian civil rights group had basically called on a boycott in asian countries of mtv if the show was not pulled off. That and partially because the ratings weren't hot enough for the network to sit and rework or deal with the protest. Ironically Clone High was never shown in an asian country.

Seeing as a buddy of mine's father worked on the show, I'll tell you (Don Gauthier, look for him in the credits). People were complaining about Ghandi's party-going ways and threatened to sue MTV and the creators if they didn't cancel the show.

That's why, they were being sued.

because the people that worshiped ghandi thought it was very offensive even though they didnt get the show they heard about it in the news

two words

the bastard show Punk'd must have been way to good to keep on the shelf and thus Clone High, the little Canadian show that could was cancelled.

I still remember the hurt when Punk'd came on in Clone High's time spot

Yeah, some of the people were right - the show caused massive outrage in India and had to be pulled for this reason.

New Delhi, January 31: Bowing to country-wide criticism of its humiliating depiction of Mahatma Gandhi in an animated show, MTV US on Friday tendered an unconditional apology to the people of India and the memory of the Father of the Nation.



"MTV US apologises if we have offended the people of India and the memory of Mahatma Gandhi. We have the utmost respect for Gandhi and all that he represents as a revered Indian leader and one of the most important figures in world history," the popular music channel said in statement in the Capital.

It said Clone High, its controversial series which shows Gandhi's animated clone sporting ear rings, was created for an American audience and there were no plans to air it on any other MTV channel outside the United States. "The animated show parodies a number of important historical figures from around the world, including the United States, where this form of comedy is common.

"We recognise and respect that various cultures may view this programming differently, and we regret any offence taken by the content in the show," the release added.</i>

that just goes to show that people are idiots and cant understand that a cartoon is just a cartoon and to change the channel
