MADtv canceled

moches · 11-21-2008, 04:21 AM

Anyone hear about this? This saddens me greatly.

Afrobean · 11-21-2008, 05:55 AM

thank god

FINALLY

That show is a piece of garbage. I hate Comedy Central for giving up SNL for that crap.

hm.
I hadn't heard this yet.
I don't really care though because it wasn't funny anymore.

operationstrawbarry · 11-21-2008, 06:15 AM

ya... mad TV really does suck... pretty much all of it wasn't even funny to me. I felt stupid for even changing channels and accidently seeing the show on TV.

Seriously, its just a bad show to me. Corny stupid and really bad.

It used to be funny maybe back when I was in middle school, but, then it got unfunny and stayed that way for a very long time.

Kinda wished this had happened earlier.

Same here. Maybe they should just air the old episodes rather than cancel the show altogether, but executives are executives...

Yeah, I never liked it from the first time it came on. Now, it's just mainstream, celebritical, political, blah. Basically the same ****, the same punch line, over and over again, but reworked into different sketches.

Thank God it's gone. Now, let me watch some SNL or Dave Chappelle!

No, it's always been quite unfunny. You probably just developed a reasonable sense of humor, and so the same crap that made you laugh before no longer would.

I never really gotten why was Madtv funny for?

NFD · 11-21-2008, 08:05 AM

I liked it a lot. The only things on SNL that I enjoyed were the Digital Shorts. Most of the show was just commercials. It would do a sketch, then cut to a commercial. MADtv was just funny to me, I don't know why.

Mad TV had gone downhill recently, but some of the seasons (especially the ones with Frank Caliendo) were filled with some hilarious stuff. It's sad to see it go because it's just another sketch comedy show failing. Let's be honest, if SNL wasn't called SNL it wouldn't still be around.

I'm sure it wouldn't be tough for them to degenerate it into something like Weekend Update + Shorts. That would be successful on its own, I'd say.

I liked MadTV. The stupidity of it all made me laugh, mostly because it's funny to see people embarrass themselves on television.

It may not be over yet.

That's true... I'm sure if they condensed it down, kept a few skits but stuck with only the best (not all this time-filler crap they do now), took out the ridiculous amounts of commercials, and made it an hour-long show they would get better ratings.

just like the stockmarket, it went downhill!!!!!

My thoughts exactly.

Sh4d0wD3v1L · 11-21-2008, 01:58 PM

I'm not really going to miss it. Frank Caliendo started out saving the show, but then when everyone found out he was WAYYY too good for that show, and he got his own thing, it started to suck again. When there was nothing better to watch, MADtv would do just good enough for background noise.
