Show Summary

  • Ended
Based on the 1995 hit film of the same name, Clueless is a popular half-hour American sitcom. The show aired for three seasons between 1996 and 1999. Clueless began life as part of ABC's popular 'TGIF' strand, but after it had finished it's first run, the network decided to cancel the series. It was a decision they would later regret, when it's re-runs proved a huge ratings winner, even competing with the incredibly successful Sabrina The Teenage Witch. Rival network UPN promptly capitalized on ABC's mistake, and the series found a new home where it aired for two further seasons. In a change to the movie, Rachel Blanchard plays the well natured and complicated, yet, as the shows title suggests, clueless teen soul Cher Horowitz. But many of the movie's cast return to reprise their characters, including Stacey Dash as Cher's sexy, confident and sassy friend Dionne Davenport. Set in the wealthiest parts of Beverley Hills, the show profiled the many loves and lives of Cher and her friends, all equally as rich, pretty and charming as her - all, that is, but the rude and self obsessed Amber Mariens (Elisa Donovan). Without her mother around, young Cher must travel through the trickiest times - those oh-so awkward teenage years - with the guidance of only her friends and father (Michael Lerner, Doug Sheehan). Joining her on her journey, are Murray Duvall (Donald Adeosun Faison) and Sean Holliday (Sean Holland) who more often than not, find themselves getting into trouble, not doing enough to help or generally just getting it very wrong. As the show developed, and the character's developed, the writing changed. From the relaxed, confident and slow pace of the first season, to the quick, sassy, off-the-cusp and celebrity-reference filled style of the second and third seasons, enter to a new and faster style of editing for the final two seasons with some hillariously well-timed sound effects and musical scores that complimented the jokes with style. Despite all it's good points, Clueless fell victim to the UPN axe and was cancelled in 1999. But the show has now gone into syndication across the world to a brilliant response, most notably from the United Kingdom and the USA. Clueless - one of the late great teen-orientated sitcoms of the '90s.''''When Can I See Clueless?''''If you're in the US, you can watch complete re-runs of all three seasons on The-N, Monday Through Thursday at 8pm & 11pm.

    When I first know about this series on television I didn't really watch the series until I watch an episode and find it interesting so I went looking for the others and continue to watch the new ones. It funny, heart felt, drama, romance and fun all mixed in together to create a good series. To anyone who think they might be interest in seeing this series you should try to find it and see if you like the series. I am glad I was able to see this series when it was airing on television. Good lucky at finding the series for those looking for it.moreless

    I was a fan of the show since the show started. I was fifteen years old, when the show started. I was eighteen years old, when it was cancelled after three seasons. I remember when it lasted one season on ABC, part of the TGIF Lineup ten years ago, when it started. The show was moved to UPN for two seasons on the Tuesdays at 9pm timeslot up against ABC's "Soul Man", CBS's "JAG", and NBC's "Mad About You". It was moved to Tuesdays at 8:30 timeslot up against ABC's "The Hughleys", CBS's "JAG", Fox's "Costello", NBC's "Encore! Encore!" and The WB's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". The show failed to compete against the other shows and was finally cancelled in 1999.moreless

    For many people Clueless is a very stupid sitcom if they never watched a full episode.Because it may sound clueless but in every single episode there's a life value that is beautiful.
    I started watching clueless when i was about 6 years old until i was 13 (almost 14).
    I would love to watch it again, does any body know where can i buy the episodes or watch it from the internet?
    If you do please let me know.
    My mail is gio_9391@hotmail.com

    So remember that something that just seems or looks clueless it doesn't mean that it is.
    Clueless is so cool
    Bing it on dvd
    P.s im going to start a petition to bring it on dvd.

    There were a few things that worked for this show, the concept works, teen comedy idea was very original, and bringing in 2 of the original movie actors (Faison and Dash) was an added bonus. That said, this show was skating on thin ice to begin with. The young women who played Cher simply could not fill the shoes that Alicia Silverstone created in 1995. The 'adults' on the show were too jokey, the sets and clothing too cartoonish to be taken seriously, and there was a bit of a fantasy aspect to the show which took away from the credibility. All in all, it didn't live up to the hype.moreless
