| | dOc DVD Review: MADtv: The Complete First Season (1995) |
 | | This three-disc set from Warner has all 19 one-hour episodes from the debut 1995-1996 season, which, minus commercials, means a rather solid 42 minutes of irreverent sketch comedy and parody. |
| | Like the magazine, MADtv stands tallest when doing parodies, and the first season cast of Nicole Sullivan, Bryan Callen, David Herman, Artie Lange, Mary Scheer, Debra Wilson, Orlando Jones, and Phil LaMarr are sort of like that first SNL crew. |
| | They had a lot to prove to television audiences just to try and carve out a niche, but the road of shock-value Saturday night comedy had already been paved a couple of decades before, so it had to step up and immediately deliver the funny. |
