    Made My Decision...
    I made another review on MAD TV and at the time I wasn't a big a fan as I am now.

    I love MAD TV! It's much funnier then SNL!

    SNL only gets good ratings because it's SNL, people remember that it was ONCE funny and figure that it's still funny...either that or they're brain dead!

    MAD TV has some really funny parodies and a lot of funny recurring characters, though some of them can get annoying (Kenny Rogers is a bit annoying and Marvin Tikvah is annoying) but some of the better recurring characters are Dot, Angela, Lorraine, Stuart (can get to be annoying, though.)

    The celebrity impressions are hilarious!

    They poke fun at George Bush and John Kerry (the sketches from the current season, season 10, are hilarious!)

    They've also done celebrity parodies such as Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah, Martha Stewart, Whitney Houston, Renee Zellwieger, Ashlee Simpson, O.J Simpson, and the list goes on and on!

    I think MAD TV is very underrated and just shun it out because it's not SNL!

    MAD TV has some very talented cast members and it's too bad that they're looked over just because they're not on SNL!

    MAD TV can have some misses sometimes, but mostly all the time it's hits with hilarious sketches!!!

    If you've never seen MAD TV then catch the reruns on Comedy Central or watch it on FOX, Saturdays at 11 PM!
