MADtv

An entertaining (and often inspired) sketch-comedy series that Fox launched as its answer to `Saturday Night Live,' with TV, movie and commercial spoofs; animated segments; and performances by musical artists.

 

MADtv (1995)

A similar show to Saturday Night Live and In Living Color, sketch comedy series MADtv mines the world of popular culture for subjects ripe for parody. Based on the comic stylings of MAD magazine, the series satirizes celebrities, music videos, television shows, and more through outrageous sketches, a unique assembly of recurring characters, and the uninhibited zaniness of cast members.
