What is MadTV?
The AT&T of sketch shows. Aired from 1995-2009. Unlike other sketch shows- it was not live. Some people liked it others fucking hated it. The cast was mostly comprised of C-list improv actors and stand-ups. The writing mostly sucked but the cast wasn't terrible. Generally the show was either doing okay or sucking donkey dongs.
Despite the name, it had almost no relation to the popular MAD magazine.
Not the worst sketch show in the word (it's Turn-On, wikipedia the show) but is out of SNL's league with 5 season exceptions.
Rotten Tomatoes; 6.0/10 fresh

MadTV - what is it?
Do I even need to explain? It's just filled with jokes. It's also 10 times better than SNL and the actors are AMAZING! And here's why.
The jokes: The jokes are INCREDIBLE! What's incredible about it, is that they suck bad. The only jokes are the actors themselves. "uH-Oh hAWt DaWG!" Where the hell is the joke? A bean would do a better job at making jokes.
MADtv vs. SNL: MADtv is so trashy, that it's 10 times better than SNL at making unfunny jokes, which is definitely saying something. At least people have heard of SNL.
The actors: The actors are horrible. Bobby Lee, Lisa Arch, Michael McDonald, Stephnie Weir, etc. The worst part is the annoying ass voices they all have. Dot sounds like she has braces on, but also has a speech impediment, Stewart's "goo-goos" haven't dropped, and every sentence he says, sounds like it's coming from an annoying autistic 5-year-old. And Bobby Lee... everything about him... sucks. BAD.
Conclusion: MADtv is awful. If anything, it's a form of torture. If you wanna annoy the fuck out of one of your friends, play MADtv, but I wouldn't wish even my worst enemy to watch a millisecond of MADtv. It's fucking horrible. SOME jokes are funny, but they're nothing more than a "heh" and I can't think of much that I laughed at from that fucking monstrosity. DO NOT, and I mean DO FUCKING NOT, watch MADtv. SNL is WAAAAAAYYYY better and SNL is trash. It's just hell.
"MADtv is hilarious!" said no one ever:
What does "MadTV" mean?
MADtv is a sketch comedy show on FOX. The show started in 1995, and is currently on it's 10th season. It is fast paced, wild and crazy humor, lots of fun and funny cast members.
The cast members write most of their sketches which is very cool. They have reccuring characters, they parodie music vieos, impersonate celebrities, and just fool around with the cast members and stuff!
Shot in Hollywood, CA. Tickets are FREE. Live tapings occur ever other Friday.
The MADtv DVDs some out sometime in September of 2004.
Stuart: Linda? Linda? Linda? Linda? Linnnnndaaaaaaaa... Linda?
Linda: Yes yes, *annoyed sigh* what is it Stuart
Stuart: ...Look what I can do!
(Stuart jumps and dances around)
Linda: You know what, you know what Stuart look what I can do
(Linda jumps around, mocking Stuart)
Linda: See that is not that hard, that is not a good trick!
Stuart: You're ugly
MadTV - what does it mean?
A show that is OK. It has higher highs than Saturday Night Live but lower lows. SNL is more consistently good. MadTV often likes to parody everything even if the parody doesn't make any sense, thus ruining the joke.
