Mad TV (or MadTV) was a sketch comedy show that ran on Fox between 1995 and 2009. Though it took its name from the satirical magazine, it rarely alluded to the publication’s content. Like Saturday Night Live, the sketch show that it was modeled on and ran opposite on weekends, Mad TV parodied politics and pop culture. It also frequently used musical sketches to lampoon celebrities or cultural trends. After its retirement, it was briefly revived by the CW in 2016.
