The show only ran for 13 episodes on MTV in the U.S. and on Teletoon in Canada, but it built up a cult following for its tremendous sense of humor and unique premise. Like the original, “Clone High” will follow prominent historical figures who have been cloned and placed back in high school, including Abraham Lincoln, Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, John F.
