Carl² (also known as Carl Squared) is a fun Canadian animated TV show. It explores a cool idea: what if a teenager had a clone? The show mixes science ideas with the everyday life of a teenager. It first aired on August 7, 2005, and finished on January 23, 2011.
Meet Carl and C2
The main character is Carl Crashman. He is a 14-year-old who loves to relax and avoid work. One day, Carl was complaining about his life on his blog. He was tired of doing things he didn't like.
Suddenly, he saw a strange email. It was from an online cloning company. Carl accidentally ordered a clone of himself! He used his fingerprint, a yearbook photo, and a band-aid to place the order.
Carl was very surprised when a box arrived with an exact copy of him inside. He decided to name his new clone C2. C2 looks just like Carl and even talks like him. However, C2 has a slightly higher voice.
How C2 is Different
Even though they look alike, Carl and C2 are very different. C2 is much more active and likes to work hard. He is also more charming than Carl. This was great for Carl, who wanted to slack off even more.
Carl often tries to get C2 to do his chores or homework. But C2 sometimes does the exact opposite of what Carl wants! Carl has to keep C2 a secret from almost everyone. Only his best friend, Jamie James, knows about C2.
The Theme Song
The show's theme song tells the story of C2 arriving at Carl's house. There are two different versions of the song. Each version has a unique opening video. They also have slightly different lyrics.
From Season 2 onwards, the opening video shows more details. It explains how C2 was created in the cloning lab. This helps viewers understand the show's main idea right from the start.
Production Details
The show was created by Lila Rose, Carolyn Hay, and Eva Almos. William Speers was the director. The main voices in the show include Stuart Stone, Bryn McAuley, and Jordan Francis.
Carl² has 4 seasons and a total of 65 episodes. Each episode is about 22 minutes long. The show was made by PiP Animation Services and Portfolio Entertainment. It was shown on the Teletoon channel in Canada.
