Mo Collins Reviving MAD TV On The CW With A Bang.

We are MAD TV fanatics here at Instinct Magazine.  We've loved reporting on the love people have for it as well as its rebirth (MADtv Is Coming Back For A 20th Anniversary Special! and 'MADtv' Is Returning To Television!).  Here's a recent recap by Dedline.com

Nine years after MadTV ended its 14-season run on Fox, the Emmy-winning sketch comedy series is coming back. The CW has ordered eight hourlong episodes for a primetime run. David E. Salzman, who executive produced the original series, is back as executive producer/showrunner. Telepictures is the studio.  – deadline.com

To support these claims and to get more excitement about its return, Mo Collins posted this video to her Facebook page this past weekend.  She titled the video "So this happened. Last night. Airs August 23 at 9:00 on the CW."

Who else will come back to the stage to give us those epic characters of the MAD TV we love?  We will have to wait and see, but we can always see the reruns!

The MadTV series revival comes on the heels of the CW airing a MadTV 20th anniversary special in January, also from Salzman and Telepictures, and its digital network Seed acquiring 75 episodes of the original series. The hour-long anniversary special drew a solid 1.7 million viewers and a 0.6 among adults 18-49 in Live+same day.

“The MadTV franchise is as vibrant as ever thanks largely to social and digital media appealing to a fan base numbering in the millions that relates to the show’s brand of authentic and irreverent cross-cultural comedy,” Salzman said. “We will continue to present the hard-hitting, laugh-out-loud, wall-to-wall pop culture parody our fans expect, but in a fresh, new way.” – deadline.com

We cannot wait !  Now if In Living Color would do the same!

Who do you want to see back on MAD TV?
