Clone High was created and produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who also wrote and did voices for the show. In the United States, the show was titled Clone High USA.

Controversy

The show's portrayal of Gandhi sparked outrage in India where he is still very much revered. Clone High did not air there, but a news report on the show upset a great number of people. On January 30, 2003, approximately 150 protestors (including members of parliament) gathered in New Delhi and vowed to fast in response to Clone High. MTV offered a quick apology, stating that "Clone High was created and intended for an American audience" and "We recognize and respect that various cultures may view this programming differently, and we regret any offense taken by the content in the show."
