Why not try a petition?

I sorely miss Clone High and have signed all the petitions I can but it obviously isn't swaying Viacom much. Call me crazy but I think the problem is that the petitions were too focused on Clone High, going off of that line of logic I created a petition that's asking Viacom to be more generous with the rights to all of their cancelled shows (Clone High, Invader Zim, Undergrads, etc.) in hopes that the wider appeal will garner many more signatures. You can find the petition at http://petitiononline.com/viacom/petition.html and help me spread the word!

For sure, you can count on me.

There are a few series I wanna see new episodes, but it's close to impossible.
I just loved UnderGrads, and felt bad about Clone High ending. including the "Continue...?!", I really thought that it would have a 2nd season, but I was wrong.

Too bad online petitions mean jack *beep*

Ratings were mediocre, and with controversial themes it can only be justified if it's a very popular show, like South Park. Sadly, this wasn't, and petitions don't change a thing.

I LOVED Clone High and Undergrads! Its crazy with all the crap on television now a days how decent shows get cancelled monthly.

Maybe I've been living in a box, but does anyone know why this show got cancelled? I thought it was highly entertaining and funny....I heard a rumor that people in India were pissed by the way Gandhi was portrayed and demanded Clone High be pulled off the air, but I do not know that there is any truth behind that.

I think it was just the controversy involved in the show. The characters portrayed were mostly well liked or high in power and appreciated for their contributions.
Not to say everyone in this list was well liked, but heres a list of some of the characters parodied in the show;

Cleopatra
Joan of Arc
Genghis Khan
Abraham Lincoln
Ghandi
JFK
Marie Curie
Jesus

Jesus was another reason why it may have been canceled, I believe the characters name was pronounced in the Hispanic sense, but still.
People get angry over the dumbest things.

It was only for the portrayal of Ghandi....that's it.

A group of protestors gathered outside MTV, and protested the show not be continued. To me this is really sad, considering I will never know what happened to my favorite clones.

Some people can't take a joke. I can't believe there are folks out there who think a humorous portrayal of a lad named Ghandi will diminish respect for the real person.
