Lots of memorable characters on this show. I grew to like Stuart (sp) and his mother, black UPS guy, Sasso's Kenny Rogers, Mo Collin's characters, etc.

mcdonald, sasso, borstein, mo collins.

Some of the best years were when these guys were on.

Those seasons were top of the line skit comedy of any skit comedy series. It's a bummer Fox will probably never release the season sets of the show's high point period.

I liked some of their parodies, like Gump Fiction, South Parknuts, House MD, etc. but I never really got into most of their original characters and recurring sketches.

I used to watch it every saturday, until the last two seasons. They have been awful.

I do still enjoy the reruns on Comedy Central.

:lol: This show has always sucked.

I never really enjoyed it, even in its early years. I didn' even know it was still on. I just thought they were doing reruns on Comedy Central now.

MadTV had the bad luck of NBC pushing SNL like crack because it was an election year, when SNL has more jokes to throw into the pot. Not to mention that the candidates this year just happened to be easy targets for jokes. And of course SNL's semi-cast member Tina Fey who just happens to look exactly like Sarah Palin (the easiest target of them all this year).

So really, if you like MadTV you can blame the Republican Party for it being cancelled.

But MadTV made sketches based on Obama and McCain and they were really bad.

I've seen season sets of mad tv before. I think it was one and two only

Love the guy but his McCain is just plain awful. :D

Still there's the 24 hour parodies which were brilliant with Bobby always fighting to stay in bed, Hot Dog skits, the guy with the decked out Hyundai, the Korean soap opera, the old kung fu expert, etc. Man, if Bobby were on SNL, he would be a sensation by now.

i didnt even notice they were still on

Aside from Bobby Lee the recent offerings from MadTV were pretty weak. They had a hell of a run though, and I am seriously going to miss it.

Two of my favorite golf skits:

I've never seen a full episode and every time I ever did watch a little of it, I was out in 1 sketch.

MadTV was gold for awhile.. miles over SNL. It hit a downward slope a couple of years ago, and since Michael McDonald left, it just wasn't the same as it is.

I've never understood why people celebrate the cancellation of a show they never watch...

Because SNL is such a great show. :rolleyes:
