Fox cancelled the long running comedy Mad TV after 14 years on the air. Mad TV has been compared to Saturday Night Live and actually ran just before and during the show, so sometimes we were switching back and forth to try to catch both of them. I myself liked Mad TV. My personal favorite skit was Stuart.. "see what I can do". I thought that one was funnier than heck. They could have dismissed the "24" skit with Bobby Lee, that part was worth the channel surfing over to Saturday Night Live. Comedy Central is going to air reruns until the end of this year. Currently, producers are searching for a network that will produce new shows as well as air the reruns from their library of goods.
Mad TV started in 1995 with Quincy Jones and Salzman going in on a joint venture. They used Mad Magazine as their inspiration, trying to keep it as real to the magazine as possible.
Some of the comics from the show have ventured off to try a shot of it themselves; which include Frank Caliendo, and Nicole Sullivan.
So, in short, Goodbye Mad TV, until we meet again.....
