By the late 1990's, SNL had become too overconfident in it's capabilities. Because that show assumed people would tune in regardless, the sketches became mundane.

Enter MAD TV.

Inspired by the long-running humor magazine of the same name, this show does sketch comedy better than the forerunner. The cast of fresh faces look genuinely happy to be working on the show, resulting in excellent sketches for the studio and home viewing audience.

By far and away, Nicole Sullivan delievers awesome performances in her sketches. Her characters are so hillarious you are honestly not sure how much of it was based on real people.

I started watching this show many years ago while still in college after hearing my roommate laugh like a crazy man. I suddenly started taping all episodes and boy am I happy to see it on DVD. I have been requesting it to the studio for years and I'm glad all those emails weren't wasted. I used to be a big fan of SNL but through the years I just fell it got more and more boring and I couldn't watch it anymore.
Many of my favorite actors on MadTV have left but the show hasn't lost its vibe. It's impossible not to laugh at Lorraine Swanson, Miss Swan, Will Sasso's interpretation of Steven Seagal and many more memorable characters.
I even been on the set of MadTV once and was invited on the taping of a weird discussion panel. It was an amazing experince, got to meet many of the actors and they were all nice and pleasant to be with, especially Mo Collins, she rocks! She's one of the nicest and sweet people you can find in Hollywood.
I really can't wait to have all the DVD's in my collection.

Like I said, finally! The show is starting to get on DVD. This is season one as you may already know and its impossible to miss the begining of the best comedy-sketch-show there is which started back in 1995. It includes the very first glimpse of unforgetabble characters like the Vancome Lady (Nicole Sullivan), along with extra footage, bloopers, the best parodies in all 9 years of broadcasting, make that 10... and never before seen sketches. This is a DVD you must have if you love comedy. Better than SNL I dare to say.

MAD TV SEASON ONE WILL HAVE YOU LAUGHING YOUR BUTT OFF WHITH THE CAST OF NICOLE SULLIVAN, DEBRAH WILSON, ARTIE LANGE, AND OTHER HILARIOUS COMICS. FINALLY THERE IS A DVD OTHER THAN SNL BECAUSE I PERSONALY THINK SNL SUCKS AND IS NOT EVEN FUNNY. EVERY SEASON OF MAD TV IS FIVE STARS EASILLY AND I HOPE THE OTHER SEASONS COME OUT SOON. I WILL DEFINANTLEY BUY THIS DVD. TAKE MY WORD FOR IT AND BY THIS DVD TOO.
