    There were some funny people on this show at one time: Will Sasso, Debrah Wilson, Michael McDonald, Nicole, Sullivan, Alex Borstein, etc. But unlike with SNL, none of the actors go on to do anything else that is especially noteworthy (except Frank Caliendo, I guess).

    aw, madtv’s going bye-bye. but oh well, i didn’t really like the new format they started last season anyway, and all the hilarious people from when i started watching (those listed below me) are gone. at least we still have the good ol’ days on comedy central.

    the last cpl seasons of madtv kinda sucked. the people they have on the show now are not funny. but the actors from the late 90s, early 2000s were funniest. too bad they don’t get offered big roles in movies like the yuppies from snl. just watched debra wilson doing whitney houston on youtube, so hilarious compared to anything i’ve seen on snl past 2 yrs. madtv also has excellent parodies.

    Yeah, I have to agree with some of the posters. The last few years the show lost some of it’s best talents. Mediocre replacements, with unmemorable characters, then the new format, finally put the nails in the coffin. It’s too bad. SNL always had it’s ups and downs, but usually found it’s way. I was hanging in hoping that MadTv would too. Oh well.

    Mad TV was a great show. It’s not really true that NONE of their cast members have gone on to good opportunities after Mad TV. Frank Caliendo has his own show, Alex Borstein is on Family Guy, Nicole Sullivan was on The King of Queens, Michael McDonald is a director, and Nicole Parker is going to star on Broadway.

    Oh NO please say it isn’t so! I love MadTV. I watch reruns daily and every new episode. Please don’t go.
    Another One Bites The Dust…another one gone.

    I hate to hear that it’s ending. I also hated it when Michael McDonald left the show. I’ve seen many of the episodes. One of my favorites is Rick on lowered expectations. I also liked Michael McDonald as Stewart and Will Sasso as Steven Seagal. Mad TV will be missed.
