The best thing I've watched in ages. Having watched the show from the beginning, I was delighted to again see the show that made me laugh out loud. I guess I didn't appreciate it way back then. The quality is sharp and clear and the sound is fantastic. I already have a waiting list of people who want to borrow the set. It is great viewing, and was shipped quickly and securely.

I didn't think it was very funny. I guess my tastes have changed since i first saw it though I always laugh at Michael McDonald as Stuart and the actress who played his mother that I forget her name. She was also funny as Lorraine. I'm going to be returning it. I might get later seasons at a later time.

This set really brought back memories, like "Lowered Expectations," the dating service for people who have been rejected by everyone else. And who could forget the "McDumpster" commercial? I guess what I liked about this show and also SCTV and even SNL in the early seasons is they weren't so political back then. There's some politics, but most of it is skewering pop culture, or just silly nonsense. I used to like sketch comedy when the shows weren't reminding me of the intense stuff in daily life that I was trying to forget about. What's wrong with doing a sketch about a redneck couple who are watching cable TV for the first time? Or an office worker abusing his window privileges? This set will remind you of some of the issues that were important in the 90's, including which shows and stars were popular. It's a fun look back.Read full review
Like a demented offspring of Saturday Night Live and In Living Color, sketch comedy series Mad TV mines the world of popular culture for subjects ripe for parody. Based on the comic stylings of Mad magazine, the series satirizes celebrities, music videos, television shows, and more through outrageous sketches, a unique assembly of recurring characters, and the uninhibited zaniness of cast members David Herman, Debra Wilson, Orlando Jones, Phil LaMarr, Nicole Sullivan, Bryan Callen, and Artie Lange. Revisit Mad TV classics such as "Homegirl Surgeons," "That's My White Mama," "Happy Happy Storytime Lady," "Lowered Expectations," "Post Office Massacre," and the "Spy vs. Spy" cartoons with this 3-volume box set that includes every episode from the series' debut season.
MADtv is such a great show and so underrated it should’ve lasted way longer than it did. SNL doesn’t even come close to comparison.
