High School USA! is an American animated series produced by Friends Night and Animation Domination High-Def Studios. The series was created and written by Dino Stamatopoulos (creator of Moral Orel and Mary Shelley's Frankenhole). Nick Weidenfeld, Hend Baghdady and Stamatopoulos executive produce the series. The program holds a TV-MA rating for explicit language (L) and sexual content (S), making it the first show on Fox to be given such a rating since the short-lived 1990s show Action. However, most reruns of this show are rated TV-14 for suggestive dialogue (D), sexual content (S), offensive language (L), and/or graphic violence (V).
The show is about the millennial high-school experience, following a clique of sunny, well-meaning students consisting of Marsh Merriwether, Amber Lamber, Cassandra Barren, Brad Slovee, and Lamort Blackstein.
The drawing style and basic character setup seems to be a parody of the Archie comics.
Marsh learns a lesson when Brad is accused of bullying. Cassandra gets ready for the “It Gets Better After High School” dance.
When a personal picture of a classmate goes viral, Marsh must rally the other students to make the situation less embarrassing.
The pressure of the upcoming S.A.T. exams pushes the gang to resort to popping pills. Blackstein needs another extracurricular activity for his college applications, so he joins the school's gay club and tries to hide the fact that he is straight.
Amber learns that her parents star in adult films.
