MadTV

Pros: Mo Collins, Debra Wilson, Nicole Sullivan, and Michael McDonald
Cons: Can be offensive and repetitive...but no more so than SNL

Saturday Night Live seems to go through cycles, and every few years, there's a big "pull the plug already!" campaign to take Lorne Michaels' life masterpiece off the air. For the last year or so, I've been half-watching SNL, and watching MadTV more and...

Pros: Funny stuff!
Cons: May offend you!

There are a lot of stupid television shows out there. A lot of shows out there call themselves funny, but either leave you snoring, or leave you saying “Am I supposed to be laughing right now”.

A lot of comedies simply aren’t funny. Mad TV is...

Pros: Great writing - very funny show!
Cons: Some may find it offensive.

I have to admit to still watching Saturday Night Live every once in a while just to see if the writers and actors have returned to the era of greatness that they once had. While still funny it just doesn't measure up to the performances of the late 70's...

Pros: Edgy, isn't afraid to push the limits, hilarious!
Cons: Offensive to the sensitive mind.

Once upon a time, there was a show called "Saturday Night Live". It was the funniest, most controversal show on the airwaves. However, soon enough, the show began to go down the gutter. Everyone thought the hope for late night sketch comedy was lost. ...

Pros: Comedy ...
Cons: ... which can go too far.

Mad TV doesn’t choose sides. If you are white, black, rich, poor, Hispanic, Asian or a homosexual … Mad TV will rip you to pieces … and you will catch yourself laughing along. Mad TV is not a children’s show by any stretch of the imagination and it is...

Pros: Nothing else to watch
Cons: Lewd content.

Once Fox sees that a show is successful, its only choice is to make a cheap replica. What I am wondering, is why it took Fox so long to copy SNL? SNL has been popular for decades, but Mad TV is still quite new. I would have thought that an SNL...

Pros: Hilarious
Cons: on quite late

This show is the BOMB! lol...It is a skit comedy show along the lines of Saturday night live, But funnier! Perfect for a Saturday night at home with hubby! We have a very hectic lifestyle and relish our Saturday nights home alone together, We pop...

Pros: None left
Cons: Repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive

For the first couple of seasons, MadTV was the best sketch comedy to be seen on television since the original Saturday Night Live. It was anarchic, unpredictable, off-the-wall and, most of all, fresh. The ensemble cast was great, the...

Pros: Very FUNNY, a welcome for an otherwise boring Saturday night!
Cons: Not for children.

I was so happy when MadTV debuted b/c SNL had become completely unbearable. Watching it caused me severe mental pain due to its total lack of humor. MadTV came on the scene at exactly the right time. The skits were fresh, crazy, long enough and FUNNY!...

Pros: Hilariously funny
Cons: Very tongue in cheek

MadTV, what a refreshing piece-de-resistance! I am so glad this show is on the air. It is refreshing, new and hilariously funny. It is for the year 2000 what SNL was for the 70's and 80's.

I am somewhat surprised that a show that comes on so...

Pros: Great comedians, original material
Cons: Its only an hour!

MadTV has to be the funniest show on the air currently. Fox delivers an amazing hour-long skit show, in the tradition of SNL and In Living Color, that is filled not only with good writing but also hilarious comedians.

With such characters as...

Pros: Earlier then SNL
Cons: None

MadTV is a cross between Saturday Night Live and In Living Color. The humor is more off the wall then SNL, and very funny. Since this is under kids and family I would like to comment on if this is appropriate for all family members. Since the show is...

Pros: .
Cons: Cheap Humor!

How entertaining is mad TV? I personally think that it's garbage! This show relies on cheap humour to entertain their audience. They use crude comments and rude/cheap remarks. If this is your idea of comedy then by all means fill up your mind with...

Pros: funny, great cast & characters
Cons: ?

My husband was who told me about MadTV. He said it was the funniest show he'd ever seen, WAY funnier than Saturday Night Live. Coming from him, it was quite a surprise - as he's not really into comedy. I was curious so I tuned in. I assumed the show was...

Pros: It used to be cool.
Cons: Now, it blows!

Granted, the first 15 years of Saturday Night Live had some of the funniest stuff ever ran on NBC. But, recently, SNL has had a little bit of a slump. With stupid characters like the "Roxbury Boys" and "The Mango" ruining a Saturday...
