Yeah, they cancelled it... but most shows that had a long enough run to get a reunion show, usually that reunion show runs on the network that originally aired the show. There might be some exceptions, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Either Warner didn't shop this to FOX at all, in which case shame on them... OR FOX was given a chance and declined, in which case shame on FOX. I'd be curious to know how it happened.

Yeah, but the CW is half-owned by Warner, so it makes sense that they'd want this aired on their own network. Either way, let's just hope that it garners enough interest to lead to a revival.

Tuesday this airs. Looking forward to it.

I missed the first 45 minutes, forgetting it was on CW right now. Tuned in and it's mostly the best of clips, which are funny. The actor appears to host, but it's not new material in the few minutes I saw, so I don't feel too bad having missed it. Will hopefully get to see it re aired online.

The John Madden butter popcorn skit where he's trying to get the machine to work is funny.

Wow, I was expecting all new skits from the classic characters. That was a weak "reunion". And who the hell is Bon Qui Qui? Why did she win Best Character? Stuart and Kenny Rogers were easily, easily the best characters.

Yeah, I don't remember that character, though I didn't see every season. Stuart, Mo Collins, Swan, a lot more. Not sure who voted or if it was planned that way.
I agree, I was hoping for original content from the cast for the whole hour, not a best of show, but still a nice summary of what made the show great, at least for the last 15 minutes I got to see.

Yeah this was dissapointing. I was also counting on new skits with the usual characters we all love to see. Bon Qui Qui was not even a regular MADtv character she was only made famous because of that character she played. She is actually well known for being a standup comedian. I think they did that at the end intentionally as in reality they were all fan favorities.
