Five stars for the best episodes. My favorite was Will Sasso. But even the newer episodes can be really funny. Kind of like SNL it is hit and miss. Ms. Swan was pretty funny too.

This show is the worst written show I can think of. SNL is tanking these days but even the crap they put out is still funnier. With a cast that has some really funny people on it you would think it would be funny but it is just lame, cheesey and sometimes reminds me of All That. The dumb guys SNL.

Funny, worth watching. Some cast members are better than others, but for the most part, a worth while hour of television. Not as obsessed with media as Saturday Night Live, Mad Tv concentrates more on comedy (most of the time) and less on Fame and Power...

Too many bleeped profanities, blurred instances of nudity and raunchy acts with child actors make this a show that is hard to enjoy. Way too mean-natured for its own good and falls completly flat when compared to good-natured comedic/adventure cartoons like Pokemon or Dave the Barbarian, creatively-clean variety like Carol Burnett & Friends, or optimistic science fiction like Star Trek: Enterprise.

I've changed my rating again! This season (season 10) has redeemed the show after the awful season 9. It's amazing how this show fluctuates in quality. I think that the Kenny Rogers skit of this season is the funniest Kenny Roger skit I've seen! I'm glad I stuck with Mad through last season.

This should be the new SNL. Its hilarious and almost every skit makes me laugh. Instead of watching the horrid new session of SNL watch this and accually enjoy the show. The Mexican that worked at Taco Bell skit was the funniest thing I have ever seen. Highly Recommended.

Obnoixous comedy that doesn't know when to quit. Some scenes start out as funny but then they become annoying. If you want to like it you should watch the first minute of the scene or less and then change the channel.

I've seasons 1,2 and a bit of 3, and in my opinion the first two were awesome-incredible cast, hillarious sketches, etc. Season 3 has its highs amd lows. Some of the sketches are very good, but others, like Take America back to 1955 from episode 309, are so crude and racist that i found myself wondering whether Nicole Sullivan lacks morality or brains.

These guys are like the old AVIS car rental commercials....We Try Harder. I don't want to see the same old shtick again and again. If they try something and it works-good. If it doesn't work, well at least they tried. SNL keeps pumping out comedians whose egos have grown too big for the show. Mad TV's people work their ensemble as a team.

Without a doubt the funniest show on television. It has suffered from the loss of Mo Collins and Debra Wilson, but many of the cast members at the moment are excellent- Particularly Stephnie Weir, Michael McDonald, Frank Caliendo, Paul Vogt, Nicole Parker and Keegan- Michael Key. If they can find more talented cast members like these ones, the show will only get better.

This used to be the funniest show on television but has suffered from major cast changes the last couple of years. For example, the loss of Orlando Jones, Nicole Sullivan, Alex Borstein, Pat Kilbane, Will Sasso etc. I miss the classic bits like Cabana Chat with Dixie Wetsworth and Pool Boy, Smith Comma John, The Spishak announcer, street performers Loup Garou and his sister Hoola Hoop, the greeting card company mother and son in wheelchairs, the Stick Chicks, Kenny Rogers, and most of all the outrageous Latino gal-pals. Stephnie Weir is a great addition to the cast but most of the other new people aren't very good.. sorry to say. I still watch it, though, hoping it will get good again.

Mad TV, in no doubt, is far more superior in sketch comedy than the once great show Saturday Night Live. Yeah, cast changes occasionally put a damper on this great show, but it quickly picks up on its feet and continues to entertain us with its just plain laugh out loud comedy.

ABSOLUTE BEST! They're are more talented comedians (Will Sasso, Aries Spears, Deborah Wilson, Michael Mcdonald, etc.) than of the current SNL cast. They have to survive on special guest, musical acts, and hosts o get their ratings. All Mad TV needs is the hilarious jokes (which they always have plenty of every show).

Mad TV is another of my favourite shows. The sketches are HILARIOUS, and the comedians are so good at doing them, especially Mo Collins and Michael McDonald, my favourites. Trina, Stuart, and of course, Ms Swan are my favourite characters because they are so quirky and EXTREMELY unusual. Mad TV has made me pee my pants from laughing so hard! Seriously. I love it.

MAD TV is a great show! I don't agree with people who say that it's a mere copy of SNL. I think both programs have its place and deserve its credits. I think that overall, SNL is probably better, because it's more traditional. But then again, lately I've found MAD TV to be a lot more humourous. Their music video parodies are hilarious. I think that throughout the years, MAD TV has developed more on the comical sense. The early shows were just plain and not very funny. In fact, I'm surprised it made it through the first year. But today, MAD TV has found its niche on the nights of Saturday, and has developed great memorable characters such as "Stewart", "Mrs.Swan" and the psychopatic "Trina" just to name a few...

MAD TV is only for the desperate. The show is extremly crude and offensive of everything out there, and mainly fails spoofing it. The show has extremly bad writers, and the scripts are very dusty and crude. The show spoofs everything from Cher to Bill Clinton, but it never seems to amke me laugh. Fans of SNL may go for some of it's stuff that spoofs Elian Gonzalez or George Bush, mainly becuase they copied them and robbed them for all they've got. Go buy the magazine.
