A similar show to Saturday Night Live and In Living Color, sketch comedy series MADtv mines the world of popular culture for subjects ripe for parody. Based on the comic stylings of MAD magazine, the series satirizes celebrities, music videos, television shows, and more through outrageous sketches, a unique assembly of recurring characters, and the uninhibited zaniness of cast members.

MADtv is now currently in its 13th season on FOX.

During the season, MADtv can be viewed on FOX at 11:00 p.m. (est) on Saturday nights. Reruns of episodes from the series can be viewed in syndication on Comedy Central at various times.less «

• Pongo's a stand-up comedian!

  I came across this interesting video, and it's actually quite funny. Danny Cho (plays Pongo on Mad TV) does a stand-up routine full of some great (unoffensive) racial jokes... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5067437307681328097

  7.5 Good

  What happened? hide « show »

  Mad T.V. used to be hilarious. I started watching around 2002 or 2003 and it was really good. I thought that some of the cast members were really talented. Michael McDonald, Aries Spears, Mo Collins, Stephanie Weir, Frank Caliendo, Debra Wilson, and Paul Vogt were my favorites. They made the show funny. All the others were just average. Then when people started leaving, that's when the show started to crumble. It became so watered down and so predictable that it wasn't even half as funny as it used to be. It is a shame, because it used to be a comedy fixture for me. Thank you.

  MadTV is a funny, and surprisingly long-lasting, sketch show. hide « show »

  MadTV is a funny, and surprisingly long-lasting, sketch show. SNL is the king of the sketch shows and many other shows have tried to challenge SNL for the throne - all unsuccessfully. Although SNL remains the ratings and mind-share leader, MadTV has been able to carve out its own niche and thrive as the edgier #2 in the sketch comedy universe.
  
  MadTV has been going for 14 seasons now. Very impressive.
  
  Of the cast members on the show my personal favorites have been Bobby Lee and Keegan-Michael Key. Bobby Lee is just plain funny. He doesn't really even have to do anything. He's just funny standing still. Always a good trait in a comedian. Keegan is wittier and does more clever verbal bits.

  6 Fair

  Going downhill.... hide « show »

  The only reason I gave this show a 6 is because I watch most of it on youtube.On TV it sucks. If it was 2003 right now, I would give it a 10......... The only good people that are left is Nicole Parker and Bobby Lee. They ran out of thing to do. All they do is this john MCcain and Barack Obama thing. Its not even funny. Since Michael Mcdonald left the show I dont even bother watching this. I used to like the Lorrine Swanson Sketch. After Nicole and bobby leave this is going to be BAD. Overall: 6/10

  10 Perfect

  Just love MADtv!! hide « show »

  This show has continuously is one of the most hilarious shows I've seen. they always find the funniest people! It's hard for me to laugh as people fail in attempting comedic skits. MADtv is always the best at their parodies and have an amazing cast. Michael McDonald is one of their classic men and I love Bobby Lee, Crista Flanagan, Nicole Parker and Arden Myrin. I miss MO Collins and Nicole Sullivan. Keegan Michael Key is one of my newest favorites!!! MADtv many laughs to all of you! he he he he Oh and I love Nicole Randall Johnson with her "Can I have your numba?"
