The CW's "MADtv" (Season 15) - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

The new MadTV 2016 episode 3 was good (Last week was a repeat for some reason). Had a skit with a game show with impersonations of Alec Baldwin and Schwarzenegger, and featuring Mo Collins in her classic role, visiting a gym. Some funny stuff. Looking forward to next week too.

I hate to be "that guy", but to be honest I think this new MADtv is some of the worst sketch comedy I've ever seen. The writing is full of jokes that are lazy, obvious, and uninspired. The new cast is incredibly bland and often come across more annoying than anything else, and almost all of their celebrity impressions seem half-assed. Sketches with returning castmembers are more watchable, but I couldn't get through the newbie-only ones.

I liked MADtv in the old days, especially during the Will Sasso years, but it started going downhill when longtime castmembers started leaving. This new version is even worse.

I'm not trying to be a troll here - I'm glad some people do actually enjoy it - just offering a second opinion for anyone who hasn't seen the reboot but was thinking about it.

I agree. watched the first 2 and couldnt get through 15 minutes of the 3rd and deleted it from my auto record list.

Mad TV 2016 is more of a spoof like Mad magazine is (having grown up reading it often). Mad Magazine features a lot of impersonations of current events, which this show is definitely focused on. It's humorous, though not hilarious yet.

Will Sasso, Mo Collins among other classic acts will be tough to top but I'll give the show a chance as each episode has me laughing or smiling now and then. This new season has already topped a lot of the recent years of SNL IMO, though that's been improving a bit in the last couple years from what I've seen. All opinions though, since humor is dependent on what one thinks is funny or not.

When MadTV 2016 didn't air tonight, I just found out there are only 8 new season episodes for the year. I hope this returns, as I was enjoying it for the most part and I like the new cast and comedy style. The impressions are nicely done too.

Is MadTV coming back? It wasn't announced on The CW summer 2017 schedule.

Aw I was hoping to see new episodes announced. I loved MADtv's original run and thought the 2016 season was ok. Some sketches were good. They just needed some fine tuning. That's why I hope it comes back.
