The title gives it away lol
I like Clarence as much as the next guy and it's about time it get its own big feature. Video essays, retrospectives and explorations focused on the history of shows are pretty crucial right now considering Cartoon Network's current state. Even for a series as unassuming as this one, its evolution over time can be deceptively rich. I had the chance to interview a couple folks that were crucial to production. With their insight, along with pre-existing material, I was able to put this beast together.
Check out their work here:

I'm so heartened by the reappraisal of Clarence, it's such a warmhearted show. Clarence was one of increasingly few cartoons to get big season orders for several years, and air reliably enough to grow an audience on cable. The Fungies is a perfect example of a sweet, oddball show that didn't get a chance to grow up the way Clarence did.

I always loved Clarence ever since it came out. It was something I sat down and watched with my step siblings everyday when I got home. I have great memories with it

Clarence earned a spot alongside Gumball, Transformers Animated, Teen Titans, and Steven Universe as one of my all-time favorite Cartoon Network shows. I remember spending hours of my summer vacation laughing at this wonderful showcase of naturalistic nonsensical absurdity.

💜‼️ Love Clarence! Reminds me of actually growing growing up in New Mexico, in the 90s, which is really close to where the series takes place! Love your stuff, love that you did this retrospective! 💜‼️🤠

I Remember when it came out, but I was so young that I saw gross out and Got scared. Now that I’m older I absolutely adore Clarence… but because I have a different view of it than I did when I was younger. I see Clarence as the story of 3 Neurodivergent kids growing in a town that accepts them for who they are. To me it makes perfect sense, Growing up with inattentive ADHD gave that perspective :)

Man, when this aired having a slice of show, especially on CN, really stood out and was pretty liked for that. Now it would seemingly blend in and maybe get ignored. As it is, it was pretty good and the narrative of it being mildly disliked is weird, I don't remember that happening lol

Only 3.7k views, for what might be one of my new favorite videos on KZfaq You tackled this show in such thought-provoking ways, and you really took me back to growing up during this time. From seeing the pilot episode to watching the finale, it wasn’t until now that I realized the impact this show had on me. And I have your masterfully written video to thank for that. Thank you

i , personally . remember the hate for shows like clarence and uncle grandpa being mostly regurgitated by adults who thought that kids wouldnt like the show because its way too gross-out. but as a squeamish kid who loved it i really didn’t understand.

The episode, Tales of Mardrynia, made me genuinely uncomfortable the first time I saw it. It gave me this uneasy vibe that I can't fully describe. It wasn't fear, it wasn't paranoia, it wasn't disgust, it was something completely different. It was the only episode that I purposely never watched again. I would love to know if I'm the only one who felt this way about it.

Bout to say some shit sucks about what he did. But he got kicked off the show so i really didnt care. I held no grudge to the show or anything. Its easily top 3 cartoons for me right with Flapjack

I personaly hated this show, but i can see why people liked it.. While i liked the general artstyle (or at least not dissliked), i absolutely couldn't stand Clarence's character. HI dislike childish characters, and Clarence was way worse than most i do remember. Additionaly i didn't like his voice and manner of speaking, i also disliked him being fat (kill for it, but it just not nice to look at) and having two teeth. That said, when Clarence was airing, as was alerady a teen, and i was used before to few shows with more juvenile characters, so maybe i would like Clarence more if i was itroduced to it earlier.

I remember one of the things I hated about this show as the kid was it had one of the worst "Meg Griffin" type characters where his body would receive permanent damage in every episode he was in. Being hated by everyone is one thing, but having that in addition to permanent bodily mutilation is another. Other than that, I guess it's a fine cartoon about kids with subtle neruodivergent characteristics.
