A fan and
critical favorite for 10 seasons, the sketch comedy series MadTV
makes its long-awaited DVD debut in a three-disc set that compiles
its first season, along with choice skits and outtakes culled from
its entire network run. Like its magazine namesake, MadTV earned its
stripes on the strength of its parodies of pop culture, which
included clever potshots at Hollywood ("Gump Fiction"), rock & roll,
children's animation ("Gumboy and Pokey") and politics. The
irreverence of the skits was well served by its versatile cast,
which included future breakout performers Orlando Jones, Nicole
Sullivan, and Artie Lange. |
