| rdfs:comment | - MADtv was an American sketch comedy television series. But then it got cancelled. This was the first mistake the FOX network has ever made. But maybe in 2010, it will return on another channel. So keep your fingers crossed heroes. MADtv doesn't mock Sarah Palin like THOSE ASSHOLES AT SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE!!!!!!!!
- MADtv is an American sketch comedy television series based on Mad, and contained animated Spy vs. Spy and Don Martin cartoon shorts as well as images of Alfred E. Neuman that the show featured during the late 1990s. Its first TV broadcast was on October 14, 1995. The one-hour show aired Saturday nights on Fox, and was in syndication on Comedy Central. In Australia the show screens on satellite and cable TV channel The Comedy Channel and in late-night timeslots on free-to-air broadcaster the Nine Network and its affiliates.
- MADtv was a late-night sketch comedy show on Fox. It has often been compared to NBC's Saturday Night Live because of it being that show's longest lasting competitor. The show has been on for 14 seasons starting in 1995. Currently, Fox has cancelled the show at the end of the current season, but the creators of the show are looking for a possible new network.
- MADtv was a comedy/sketch show loosely based on MAD Magazine, even though in later seasons, the program generally dropped its association with the magazine. MADtv generally features an off-the-wall, at times, risque style of parody humor. The show ended in 2009 in its 14th season on the FOX television network.
- Family Guy cast members Alex Borstein, Nicole Sullivan, Phil LaMarr, Will Sasso, Debra Wilson, Ike Barinholtz and Bobby Lee are former MADtv cast members. Tricia Takanawa is apparently based on one of Borstein's characters that appear during a recurring news sketch. According to Don't Make Me Over, in which Borstein's Ms. Swan appeared, Saturday Night Live, its main competitor, had 1.5x the number of viewers that MADtv did. In "Prick Up Your Ears", Jerry Kirkwood compares the Opal Ring Players to the cast of MADtv, but says the Players aren't as good.

If Peter Griffin had never married his wife Lois, Osama bin Laden would have been found hiding on the set of MADtv in the year 2007A, as revealed in a dinner conversation in "Meet the Quagmires". The reasoning was that "nobody would ever look there", another jab at its viewership or lack thereof. In "Prick Up Your Ears", Jerry Kirkwood compares the Opal Ring Players to the cast of MADtv, but says the Players aren't as good. In "Spies Reminiscent of Us", it was revealed that the spies from Spy vs. Spy had settled their differences.

Sesame Street had been parodied in a series of recurring sketches starting in the 11th season. The sketches feature Keegan-Michael Key as Gordon, Bobby Lee and Crista Flanagan as kids Billy and Sally (even though they didn't receive their names initially), and Jordan Peele as Big Bird, in a "fake" costume character and called "Bird." The sketches take place in Big Bird's nest, and opened with footage of children crossing a bridge and playing in a playground accompanied by the opening theme tune. With the exception of the latest ones, all of them had parody lyrics lampooning the Sesame Street Theme. While entirely revolved around Sesame Street, the sketches would quite often throw in references to The Electric Company and The Muppet Show.
