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: 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...
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: Funny skits, awesome guest bands. Cons: May not be elaborate as SNL but still very entertaining.
I may not be in the greatest position, and my constant problems can get to me. But there is one thing that keeps me going besides my supportive friends. Laughing. Laughing can cure any heart ache, whether it be emotional or physical abuse. Laughing is a...
Pros: Talented actors and hysterical characters Cons: Has gone the way of so much humor: to raunch and salaciousness.
When this show fist went on-air it was mild and intelligent with great acting and hysterical skits. I loved the recurring characters - Mo Collins is particularly brilliant - like a modern Carole Burnett - she does the S'nack Cracker soap opera, the...
Pros: Hilarious, Enthusiastic Cast, Up to Date, (Insert other synonyms of "Funny" here) Cons:none
I don't know where to begin! This program offers many parodies and very funny recurring characters (My favorite, Ms. Swan) for example. Though many for some reason may think its offensive (I don't know why), don't you think the writers would have...
Pros: Funny characters and well-written comedy Cons: Some may find it offensive
Just when you thought sketch comedy was going to the dogs, along came MADtv. Formerly a fan of SNL, I found myself despising the show when the good characters and writers went on to bigger and better things. Then I discovered MADtv, with fresh and...
Pros: none Cons: foul language, discussion of sexual acts, violence
Mad TV is a variety comedy show that is on the FOX late night Saturday nights. It competes against Saturday Night Live. Let me begin by saying I am shocked that this variety show is listed in the Kids & Family category. In my opinion, this show has...
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...
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: 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...
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...
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: 11:00 start, not too late Cons: Funny? nope.
Some would argue that MADTv is a "funny" show and is rivalling Saturday Night Live as the top rated comedy show on Saturday Night Late Shows. I have watched MADTv a multiple amount of times and found that both shows are both utterly...
Pros: Excellent, hilarious sketch comedy, which is the best on tv today Cons: It will never rival Monty Python or the Kids in the Hall, but what will?
Mad TV, in my opinion, is the best sketch comedy show currently producing episodes. It contains an excellent cast, funny repeating characters, excellent writing, and consistently funny episodes. There are a few reasons why I feel it is better than even...
I fell in love with MADTV the first time I saw it. Since then I've chosen my favorite skits but I still like the whole show.
I particularly like Ms. Swann. She is the funniest part of the show. Anyone who has seen her skit knows how funny she...
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...
When I started watching the first season of Madtv, I thought it wouldn't last very long. But, it proved me wrong. Now running in its fourth or fifth season and still going on strong. FOX...
MadTV is a cross between Saturday Night Live (SNL) and In Living Color. The humor is more off the wall then SNL, and very funny. . Mad TV is based on the famous magazine Mad. And has a few of the cartoons that were in the magazine. I would like to...
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...
I totally love this show because it is based on the old comic. It has a huge humor area and it is all humor. It is very funny but it is not really for young children. It sometimes has bad language and some people might not like this show because of the...
Pros: Funniest show on Saturday Night Cons: Poke fun at sensitive issues
There are a lot of shows out there that are considered comedies since they provide an occasional laugh or two. Then there is SNL(Saturday Night Live) which is considered as the most funniest show to watch on Saturday. Wrong!!! I've watched SNL...
Pros: one funny skit Cons: sick humor, not funny, bad impressions
I have only seen this show five or six times, because whenever I watch it, I vow not to watch it the next time. This shows first problem is that it is going opposite Saturday Night Live on NBC once it gets to be 11:30. This show can't possibly think...
Pros: sometimes funny Cons: most of the time not funny, stupid, boring
Ever since Saturday Night Live came on in the 1980's, not one sketch comedy show, with the Exception of In Living Color, has even come close to matching it. MADtv is one of the imposters who fall way short of the standard set by SNL. 95% of the time, the...
This show is kind of funny, but they use the same people over and over every episode, like Ms. Swan, and Stewy. One other thing that would make this show funnier other than creating new characters would be to bring back Spy vs. Spy which they used to...
Pros: Viewer always ends up laughing out loud, every single episode. Cons: time - it's the only thing that can keep me up so late!
I don't know why this show doesn't have a larger following. The actors give so much effort, and they are so consistent, they win over the viewer every week! I can't remember an episode that I didn't love the skits. The writers are so talented. The...
Pros: A few good jokes now and then Cons: Seems like a cheap SNL
Every Saturday night, almost without exception, I watch Saturday Night Live. But sometimes when there's doing some boring sketch I'll head over to FOX and check out MadTV. I really don't like a lot of the cheap jokes and sketches, but once in a while I...
Pros: Has alot of funny shows on it Cons: There is nothing bad about this show
I love madtv. It is so funny. I especially like Miss Swan and stuart. I like the episode when Miss Swan was on the plane and she kept on kicking the guy in front of her seat and then she kept on buzzing to get the woman and she kept on...
Pros: It is so funny and entertaining Cons: It's mind of mean to the actors they are impersonating
I think this show is so funny. I am not the kind of person who laughs out loud when watching Television shows. But this is so funny that is has to be an exception. I hear Mad TV is a lot like Saturday Night Live, but I have never watched that show....
i think the show would be funny if they had better actors in them.S.N.L. now thats a show that i can watch forever and it won't get boring.when i keep watchin mad tv it gets to boring.i can only watch mad tv if i have nothing to do.S.N.L. is so much...
Can you say the funniest show ever?!?!Mad Tv has 10 times better skits and material than Saturday Night Live,most definatley.For those of you online lovers,it'll give you a whole bunch of LoL's(laugh out louds).My favorite charecter is Nicole...
Pros: Was funny once, 1 out of 10 sketchs make me chuckle Cons: Too much sitcom stuff
This show was awesome, I loved it. All the skits they did made me laugh. Then the cast left, and the new cast came. This is where MAD TV went bad. They don't even show funny skits anymore. They have these set characters like that UPS guy, and Ms....
Pros: funny, good characters, funny actors Cons: not as good as SNL, not always dependable to be funny
This show has some really memorable characters, and sometimes it can be downright hilarious. (Keyword SOMETIMES). Either I'm laughing my butt off, or I'm sitting there bored heck waiting for an endless sketch to end. Sometimes they seem to take things...
The first time I watched this show I may have chuckled once or twice but its just too stupid. They try a little TOO hard to be funny and they exhaust their jokes. In the skits its like they repeat the joke over and over to make sure we get it.....WELL...
Pros: funny, original, easy to understand Cons: sometimes confusing and not funny
Mad TV is a show that makes parodies of a lot of serious situations and makes it easier to cope with the difficulties of everyday life by adding a little humor about it. It makes fun of movies, people, shows, politics, and many other things. They also...
Pros: Very Very comical Cons: constant references to racism, southernism, or handicapped
This show which has been around for something like three to four years, is an excellent show to go side by side with SNL. Honestly it really does not compare to SNL, but it is a half hour before, so it will get your laughs going at least. Mad Tv is a...
Pros: Very Funny Cons: Sometimes weak in the middle
Starting off good, then slowing down a bit, and now being good again, MadTV is almost about to take viewers away from Saturday Night Live and bring them over to FOX. Although having a somewhat different humor and different sketches than Saturday Night...
I love it!! Its a great show it's better then the Simpson's.I watch this show ever Saturday night.If you have not seen it go watch it.If you don't like then sorry about your luck.My favorite actress is the woman that says mostly ok, that is mostly all...
Pros: Hilarious. Cons: Not for kids (good thing they're in bed, eh?)
Long ago and far away, there was a show called Saturday Night Live. It was raw, raunchy, and hilarious. Time passed, and it became less so, but for some reason was allowed to continue. Then there was a show called In Living Color. It was raw, raunchy...
I deffientaly love Mad TV. I really don't think kids under 12 should watch it though. I don't think they should watch it because it has a lot of profanity and sexual orianted stuff that 12 year olds just shouldn't be watching. I am 15 and sometimes I...
Why Mad Tv has been on T.V.? Don't ask. Maybe it's because the humor that is used on the show is always degrading a political figure, a nationality, or religion. For example, do you know how many episodes mad tv had on ridiculing Bill Clinton? He is our...
I've grown up all of my life recieving Mad Magazine and enjoying every single issue. About 2 years ago I first started watching the somewhat new madTV show. This has got to be not only one of the funniest television shows I have ever seen but also...
Sure MadTV is rude and crude and sometimes discusting...but that's just what's funny, right? MadTV is a one-hour show on Saturday nights. It's just skits and nothing else. They bring back different characters such as "Mrs. Swan" (a strange...
If you like really funny shows then you need to watch this show. I have watched this show and it is really funny. They have some of the best scenes and the funniest cartoons. The only problem with this show is that it is not on till like 11 oclock. They...
I absolutly love MAD TV it is my favorite sketch comedy series, next to Kids in the hall and Saturday Night Live! The actresses and actors are great on this show, they can act up just about anything, and they're hilarious doing it!
Pros: Occasionally funny Cons: Terrible, cheap humor; repetitive and annoying
When watching Mad TV, only one thought comes to mind, this is an absolutely horrible show. A cheap spin off of NBC's long running and critically acclaimed Saturday Night Live, Mad TV tries their hardest to be funny, but it just doesn't work.
Pros: hilarious, smart, really cool Cons: too late
Then again aren't we all in our little way. Talk about hilarious, brilliantly smart and what a way to make SNL look like an amateur show! I moved here last year and believe me, between SNL and MAD, wait as second you can't compare the two shows, except...
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: there hasn't been anything this original since SNL!! Cons: Only an hour?! CRAPP!
there hasn't been anything this original since SNL!! There are a few shows around that can be called "comedies", but only about a tenth of them are funny, and even then, you can narrow it down
some more. but this is one of the few shows...
Ok, I'm a pretty open guy, pretty much anything will make me laugh. However, MadTV is one thing that I'm proud to say I will not laugh at. First off, all this show is, is one major knock off on Saturday Night Live. Sorry to all SNL fans, but I never...
Pros: A funny Saturday Night Live Cons: some skits aren't funny
Again, this is Fox’s version of “Saturday Night Live” - when Saturday Night Live was funny, or “Friday’s” from years ago. I think it’s actually pretty funny, ok not all the time, but I’d say 80% of the time, which is a better percentage than SNL at this...
Pros: "Stuart" is pretty damn funny Cons: Not a genuine SNL episode
Not a genuine SNL episode put it's pretty damn funny. The skits are great. Especially "Stuart." A sketch about an overgrown child and a stereotypical Wisconsin mom. Also "the Gap Troll" is funny. It's about a little troll who does a...
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: Very hilarious, great cast of characters Cons: Airs late at night
The FOX network has definitely aired a hilarious comedic show with MadTV. This is one of the funniest shows I watch on television and the laughs just keep on coming. This show is based on the magazine, "Mad," and now it is brought onto the...
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: great comedy, characters, sketches Cons: racy
MadTV has over-taken Saturday Night Live for Saturday night's ultimate TV comedy/sketch show on Saturday Nights. With a cast of Will Sasso, Debra Cox, etc., they have taken a few people and turned a few sketches in great laughing memories for me. Mad...
Pros: Funny , original Cons: Sometimes a little too vulgar
I used to watch Mad TV when it first came on. It's basically a spin-off of Saturday Night Live. I think in the earlier days it was an hour of pure humor. But somewhere along the line it became a little less funny and a little more graphic. Some of the...
haha hehe this is what you will hear if a episode of mad tv is on. this is one of the funniest shows i think ive ever seen. Now look i would not recommend this to any one under the age of 14 or maybe under 12 but just make sure your not watching this...
Pros: Hilariously Funny Cons: Can go over the line, not for the faint at heart
Ok, if you are like me and have a somewhat demented sense of humor, you will LOVE this show. I like the fact that it comes on at 11pm, therefore allowing me to miss the 11 o'clock news. I used to be an avid SNL watcher, but got tuned in to Mad TV a few...
MadTV is one of the greatest show FOX has to offer. This show is compose of roughly about 10 actors and actress doing skits and comedies making fun of anything and everything happen around us in society. The parodies are hilarious and meant for amusement...
I didn't expect much from this show. Then one Saturday, I got a call from a friend telling me to turn it on. It is complete nonsense, a lot like the SNL shows of the 70's. I can remember watching an episode that poked fun a O.J. Simpson and how my...
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: funny, nice costumes Cons: too many comercials.
Mad tv is a show made up of short skits that a cast of about ten actors perform. this show is hilarious and can entertain you for hours. The costume designers are very good at mimicing the appearance of other celebrities. the scripts are very funny and...
Pros: hey it's better than the brady bunch Cons: not funny, untalented cast
This show is just a cheap rip-off of Saturday Night live. It is the same kind of show except it is not live and these guys just aren't funny. The cast simply tries to hard to get a laugh and most of the time it doesn't work for me. When...
Who cares about SNL when there is MAD T.V.? This show is funny. My favorite character is Stewart. The guy who plays him does an excellent job and Stewart's mother of course is great too.
MAD has taken over the Saturday night adult comedy....
Pros: A few funny sketches Cons: Offensive, no-holds-barred comedy
I'm sure many of you watched the first episode or at least one episode of this in the first season. I laughed so hard at those episodes. Later, it became mostly raunchy jokes that I was surprised made it on the air. Now, they make fun of any and...
Pros: HILARIOUS! Cons: Some of the skits are stupid
Mad TV is a great show! I look forward to watching it every Saturday!! The comedy sketches are all unique and very different or unusual. It is very funny to watch and quite entertaining. I usually spend Saturday nights with my family in front of the TV...
Pros: Original, variety of characters. Cons: Stereotypes and minorities are butts of jokes.
Have you seen the first season of MadTV? That was some really funny, original humour. But I can't stand to even watch the thing anymore. Every time I turn the show on, I see some kind of minority group being represented by a deformed, unintelligent, and...
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.
I have been a big fan of shows like SNL and In Living color but I feel that this show has the abilty to became the best live comdy show ever. Now don't get me wrong We all love SNL but it is getting close to being finished in my opinion because it seems...
Pros: Replacement for SNL Cons: Needs some refinement
This sketch comedy show is a blast! It is much like Fox's older, and better, show 'In Living Color' featuring several of the Wayans family, David Alan Grier, Jim Carrey, and Jamie Fox. You'll probably recognize many of those names, they were made...
This has to be one of the funniest comedy shows on television. Their stints and knock offs make you almost die laughing. Stewart is also one of my favorite characters, he is a grown man dressed up as a little boy. His role alone makes you want to watch...
Pros: original, humorous Cons: some episodes are really bad
MAD magazine is the best humor magazine out there, and now MAD TV is on its way to being the best humor TV show on the air. It still has a little bit to go, as Saturday Night Live, with twenty fives years of experience and a much bigger budget, is for...
Pros: quick humor without using your brain Cons: kind of juvenile..didn't find it very funny
I usually skip over this show because it just didn't appeal to me. I finally watched an entire episode one night. It was the best of mad TV. I figured if it was the best of previous shows I'd get a good idea of what it's about. I found out I mad a good...
Pros: Funny and Fresh Comedy Cons: Can be offensive at times
I was a long time fan of SNL. I enjoyed the oldies with Aykroid, and the other oldies. But the show slowly became more and more dull. Offering less humor and just trying to replay old skits. I watched MadTV with a friend one night and now I rarely miss...
Pros: used to be good Cons: tacky, corny humor that just isn't funny anymore
When MAD TV first came out, I used to watch it every Saturday, and every Saturday it would crack me up. The humor was offbeat and original, and the actors knew how to play off mishaps for the best effect.
Pros: Great cast, very funny Cons: only an hour long
I used to watch Saturday Night Live, Until few years back, when it just stopped getting funny. Then along came MAD TV, and I just couldn't stop laughing!!
It is refreshing, great charaters, and great skits. They have a habit of picking on anyone...
Pros: hysterical, great characters Cons: two words - Mo Collins; three other words - NOT for kids
I remember those long car trips as a preteen. One of the high points was reading mad magazine. I use to love the fold up page. My husband and I watch this show every week. Therefore, I am confused how Mad TV can be listed under adolescent and teen...
Pros: Mo Collins, Micheal McDonald, Stephnie Weir, Aries Spears
VEEERRRY TALENTED CAST. GREAT AT IMPROV SKETCHES Cons: My idol Mo Collins is leaving!!! :(
Mad TV is definitely way funnier than SNL. Especially now since SNL is going through one of it's little "phases". The Mad TV characters are THE best and THE funniest. Stuart can get a little annoying but Mo collins always makes me laugh when she plays her role as Stuarts mother. Some of my fave characters from Mo Collins include, Trina, Lorraine, Bambi and Doreen Larkins(Stuarts mom) It's too bad that she's leaving this season, but Stephnie Weir is also a great actor and comedy writer. Even though her texas accent may get in the way of things she is still HILARIOUS when she plays Dot and Dorothy Linear. With Mo leaving she'll be the only female regular of the year but she's a great writer and she contribute great sketches to the show. I tape almost every episode of MAD TV and it's definitely worth it. If you want to die laughing then watch MAD TV. FORGET SNL. At least until they get a new cast. But Mad TV is the best sketch comedy show out there right now. Catch the reruns on Comedy Central at 5:00 pm and 7:30 pm every weeknight. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!
