MadTV is not funny!
Is it just me? I don't find this show funny at all. I miss SNL on Comedy Central.

1. it has a few funny sketches
but overall, it doesn't hold much water to the average SNL episode. Though, MADTV is seems to be geared to a different type of audience than SNL. So, I cannot account for everyone's tastes.

3. True
I find it's mostly gross out humor. They should put on a good comedy show like Mr. Show. Love David Cross.

2. Just like SNL
The early ones were funny, then it devolved. If MadTV stays on 25 years I'm sure it will get funny again, then suck, then be funny again, then suck, just like SNL. What pisses me off is that Comedy Central primarily plays the newer, crapier episodes of both SNL and MadTV.

4. The first few seasons were extremely funny

If you've ever seen "That's My White Momma," you would understand...I can't even explain it.

When they lost Phil Lamar, Orlando Jones, and the other fat white guy (not Will Sasso) they lost a lot.

I still like it, but they seem to do the same skits over and over again.

The first season of Ms. Bunny was funny as hell, too.
