Clueless adaptations: films & series
Every version of Clueless — the films & series, compared across media.
Clueless centres on Cher, a shallow, wealthy Beverly Hills teenager who sits at the top of her high school's social hierarchy and casts herself as a matchmaker — first steering two teachers into a relationship, then setting her sights on the wider world around her. That premise of sunny social meddling carried from the 1995 film into a television spinoff the following year, both set in the same sun-drenched, status-conscious high school world.

Two versions appear here: the original 1995 film Clueless and the 1996 television series Clueless, which spun directly off from the movie and ran for three seasons.
Which Clueless should I start with?
Start with the 1995 film — it introduces Cher and the Beverly Hills setting. The 1996 TV series is a direct spinoff and follows on from there.
