As a direct competitor to sketch comedy king, Saturday Night Live, Mad TV is an edgier, more slapstick version of the iconic American show. With a large cast of big personalities and a huge precedent set by the classic magazine, the show pushes the limits on socially acceptable behavior while introducing some famous characters that are still remembered today. The series stars comedians Aries Spears, Will Sasso, Mo Collins and Frank Caliendo, among many others. For a different take on the sketch comedy formula, Mad TV is an excellent option.
