videorama-759-859391 While not every skits funny, where some truly misfire, and aren't funny at all, depending on the viewer's sense of humor, the majority of the ones that succeed, are. Some of them are so smartly concocted, it's pure genius. This skit show based on that legendary magazine, takes digs at Michael Jackson (especially love those), Seagal, Stallone, Arnie, from a bunch of gifted comic actors who really know they're impersonations, some who have got it down to a tee, like Michael Mcdonald and Frank somebody, (love his John Madden digs) even though I've never seen the real guy, who at first was fictional. No celebrity is safe. My favorite though is that crazy Asian, acting great, Bobby Lee. This comedy sketch show is right out there. Saturday Night Live on crack.
griffinreviewer this show is one of the worst shows of ALL TIME! absolutely no original jokes and they're always a year late. like in 2009 they will finally say something about Michael Vick's dogfights. all of the cast members are people who wanted to be on S.N.L but had to go to the lowest of the low, mad TV.its an hour of mad magazine jokes witch aren't funny to begin with, told by terrible John Stewart wanna bees. so if you have any problem tell me id love to hear the opinion of the 3 people who watch this show. family guy put it well "Osama bin Ladin was hiding in the one place no one would look, the cast of mad TV. There is a reason why no one watches the show.
Lee Eisenberg OK, so maybe "Mad TV" is the same sort of thing as "Saturday Night Live", but you still gotta love it! No matter what the situation is, they always find something great to do (including a recent skit where Kim Jong Il has the hots for Jennifer Love Hewitt during the Macy's Day Parade). Part of what it shows is that as long as our society - and the world in general - functions as it does, satire will always have a place.As for the cast, they're all quite hilarious. Bobby Lee and Frank Caliendo have got to be some of the funniest guys out there; if you haven't seen Caliendo's George W. Bush imitation, then you're really missing something! If I have to choose between this one and "SNL", I would probably go with the latter just because of it's early days. But you can't deny that this one provides its solid share of laughs. It's a modern TV classic.
S.R. Dipaling Let me first off say that I have been,still am and will probably always be a follower of "Saturday Night Live",but after watching a large gob of reruns of this FOX TV answer to the venerable NBC weekend sketch/variety show,I can say that I've become very impressed with this sketch show from producer Quincy Jones.Premiering in October of 1995,this show is the lone survivor among a feeding frenzy of competition shows that popped up that year attempting to dethrone what was perceived(accurately so for the most part)a vulnerable SNL. While MAD hasn't even come close to unseating its more famous competitor,it's carved a very nice niche on Saturdays,due in no small part to the very yeoman-like work of some fine comedic talent. A partial list of those actors:Michael McDonald,Nicole Sullivan,Alex Borstein,Will Sasso,Aries Spears,Debra Wilson,Frank Caliendo,Mo Collins,Bobby Lee,Paul Vogt and Stefanie Weir. They've all contributed strong original characters as well as impressions of celebs. In fact,to me,I'd say that MAD's rep cast has better,less annoying and more spot-on original characters of late than does Lorne Michael's show of late. Some faves: Miss Swan,Stuart,Lorraine Swanson,Michael and Jasmine(the pop duo with EXACTLY one song in them that goes "You are the love of my life..."),Trina and Bonifa Latifa Halifa Jackson.HAven't caught MAD TV yet(and if you watch enough shows,you'll notice that earlier eps seem to be more attached to the eponymous magazine's rep and characters,shows from about 1998 on are far more independent of the inspirational comic standby from Warner Brothers),just tune in to Comedy Central four or five different times of the weekdays,because they're running those shows like they're going out of style. A very good alternative for those who are tired(to whatever degree) of that other late night sketch show.
