I admit that I have never seen an espisode of MADTV before but I caught a little of tonights episode during the news. Regis was the Host and they had a good Celebrity Millionaire skit, and I noticed that the guy on MADTV that does the G.W. Bush impersonations is 10 times better and more accurate than the guy who does it on SNL. There were a couple times I had to look really hard to make sure it wasn't really him.

I Tivo'd both of them tonight. I've never seen Mad TV before, so I'm curious to check it out. I dig Katie Holmes though, so I'm sure SNL will win just on principle.

I love MadTV and have been an avid follower since the first season. I think it was the 3rd season where madtv was kind of going downhill (when Nicole Sullivan was gone for a while), but its back to being top-notch again.
Ever since MadTV started I stopped watching SNL at all. I sometimes turn it on when MadTV is a rerun and am always incredibly disappointed each time.
The only thing SNL really has going for it is tradition. I see MadTV as being a superior show in every aspect except in drawing in the big-name guest hosts.

I mean, Will Ferrell's impersonation on SNL is so funny because it portrays him as a lot of people see him in an extreme carcicature. I think the guy's a bumbling, frat boy, spoiled brat idiot and I have always liked SNL's version of him becasue they let him have it. Accuracy be damned.
