Shows like mad tv

Mad TV (stylized as MADtv) is an American sketch comedy television series originally inspired by Mad magazine.

The series was based loosely on Mad magazine, a property owned by Time Warner Entertainment (parent of series distributor WB Television Distribution) through its DC Comics subsidiary. From the magazine, the show featured animated Spy vs. Spy and Don Martin shorts, as well as recurring images of longtime Mad mascot Alfred E. Neuman in earlier seasons, though the live-action sketches had no relation to the magazine's content.

The first broadcast was October 14, 1995. The one-hour show first-ran on Saturday nights on Fox and was in syndication on Comedy Central. In Australia, the show screened 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.
