MadTV revival coming to the CW

The former FOX sketch comedy show and SNL rival MadTV will be coming to the network who recently did their reunion show, the CW.

Great news.

This makes me so happy. Best TV related news in a long time for me. I always hoped another channel would pick it up.

Exactly what I was gonna say.

Always preferred MadTv to SNL. Although looking back, some of MadTv's stuff was kinda obnoxious at times.

I have a love-hate relationship with this skit. Didn't know until years later that the male character is played by a female performer

hmm

Solid first episode. The first skit had me cracking up (the gameshow with Hilary and trump) very flavor of the month so far as skits go. But good to see it back.

The Blind Kung Fu master returns next week. Looking forward to that!
