sick of MadTV

I wish they would stop running MadTV as a stopgap -- it's not a horrible show but I'm sick of seeing the same episodes over and over and over (and over).

      At it's absolute worst, mid to late 80's incarnation SNL might be able to be called worse. But generally speaking mediocre SNL is still funnier and less annoying than MadTV.

        the 2 are interchangeable to me...... I recall the daze when CC ran SNL just as they now do MAD........ I prefer MAD cuz it seems like the actors are having more fun than they seem to be having on SNL. less pressure. I miss Artie Lange (is that his name?) however.

          Both of these shows are just time slot fillers...and they make it so obvious based on how often they air it and at what times (times when they can't be bothered to use original programming, because most of their audience isn't watching). I hate that they do this, but it probably saves them money because all they have to do is buy syndication rights vs shellin out lots of cash for a buncha new series.

            these people probably had no idea that they were synthesizing heroin when they created Comedy Central. at least they air the humor ----- better than Chris Mathews among other thingz.
