MadTV is something we need today; a comedy show that pushes boundaries, and helps us laugh together about things that we think are ridiculous but maybe afraid to say how ludicrous they are in daily life. The slapstick nature of the show for me was a spiritual successors to "In Living Color" in that they pushed the limits and were always on the edge of comedy.

[@magica1355]

They tried to bring it back but the reception wasnt the same. For obvious reasons. Everything on the show when it was in its heyday is considered offensive now. And thats no longer allowed.

[@DanielStevens-s3r]

People need to get over themselves. They were over the top funny and that was reality tv not this crap nowadays they call reality tv

[@kjdnyhmghfvb]

People like to say that on forums, but there is no audience for that, which is why it died. It seems like it was detrimental to it's cast members who didn't seem to need it so...

Based off how Debora Spoke about Artie in te passed tense towards the end had me frantically searching the comments thinking he was dead.

[@FIXTREME]

Half of that statement is correct. For the life of me, idk why In Living Color is considered funny.

[@C-Lyfe85]

@@FIXTREME Here we go. In Living Color was literally the blueprint to the Mad TV. In Living Color was on the Fox network, later was Mad TV. In Living Color theme song was done by Heavy D, later was mad tv. Mad TV literally stole some skits from In Living Color. Mad TV employed the same writers from In Living Color. Understandably, if you weren't from a certain culture, you didn't understand certain jokes from In Living Color. But don't try to discredit that show, you'd be wrong.

[@FIXTREME]

@@C-Lyfe85 I don't agree with that. I give more credit to Fridays. If we're going to edit comments, I recognise that lot's of stuff were carried over. But stylistically, I still see Fridays when looking at MadTV.

[@FIXTREME]

@@C-Lyfe85 It has nothing to do with a certain culture, In Living Color just came off as mean spirited and wacky half the time. Half the show hasn't aged well.

[@C-Lyfe85]

​@@FIXTREME Fridays, really? You had to REACH that far, & reference some obscure comedy skit show? Fridays wasn't even on the air long enough for a cup of coffee. Most comedy sketch shows are wacky, hence it being a comedy. As far as it being mean-spirited, either you're a sensitive snowflake or you're not. Lastly, of course it did not age well, it started in 1990! Had it been allowed to have 300 seasons worth of episodes, like SNL, then it'd be a different story. In living color brought us Damon Wayans,Tommy Davis Jr, David Alan Grier, Jennifer Lopez, Jim Carrey, he's the biggest success story. How many superstars did Mad TV turn out, don't worry I'll wait.

I think it's laughable for Orlando to say he didn't like the babewatch skit at the time to seem pious in retrospect, also the whole thing is tone deaf, if you hear Artie tell the babewatch story it's hysterical!
