In Living Color -vs- madTV??

Me and one of my boys was talkin' and he actually told me that MadTV is greater than In Living Color. Now, my friend is entitled to his own opinion, but it's a pretty well know fact that ILC was one of the most groundbreaking shows when it hit the air in early 1990.


Now, if my homeboy would have said that he likes Mad better than ILC, that's cool. I mean, I like Clyde Drexler way more than Jordan, but I know that MJ >> Clyde. But he just doesn't get it through his head. He than tells me why MadTV is going on it's 14 season and ILC only ran 5...


ILC is in the top 5 sketch shows probably (maybe even higher.) And how great was ILC, 5 member of a 5 season cast hosted SNL while 0 members of it's 14 season cat have yet to host SNL.

Easily, it's ILC. The fact that MadTV is still on the air isn't the end all of reasonings. In fact, MadTV is pretty much SNL & ILC combined.

I agree. Don't get me wrong I love many of the skits on 'MadTV',
especially the 'Stewart' sketch lol but I go with 'Living Color'
because of the freshness of it. The skits were originals with
created characters; 'MadTV' is too sort of but I put it on the
same kinda plane I would 'SNL' and it DID launch the stars on
that show to stardom. The Wayons Brothers and Jim Carrey went
on to do bigger things! I miss those days. sad

MadTV has its moments, but generally it makes me appreciate SNL more. ILC had some major stars come out of it, where Mad TV hasn't had a breakout star except within the confines of the show (Michael McDonald, Bobby Lee)

Everyone on ILC was a standup comedian. Only a few on MADtv were standups. I think that is a factor. They were featured on other things besides the show and ILC was the brainchild of a well known standup who got his start with Robert Townsend

Keenen didn't get his start with Robert, they just worked together a lot cause they were close friends. They were all (Keenen and Robert) actually associated with Eddie Murphy's Black Pack. (Keene and Robert actually wrote for Eddie's RAW stand-up back in '87)

Ok..

I didn't notice Keenan before Hollywood Shuffle in which Robert was the star and I remember all of Robert's HBO specials that Keenan was in

Robert and Keenen were actually a team. They wrote/produced those HBO specials together, write/produced Hollywood Shuffle, wrote Eddie Murphy RAW and wrote/produced Five Heartbeats.
