href="/wiki/David_Salzman" title="David Salzman">David Salzman</a>, Fax Bahr, and Adam Small. Loosely based on the humor magazine <a href="/wiki/Mad_(magazine)" title="Mad (magazine)">Mad</a>, Mad TV's pre-taped satirical sketches were primarily parodies of popular culture and occasionally politics. Many of its sketches featured <a href="/wiki/List_of_Mad_TV_cast_members" title="List of Mad TV cast members">the show's cast members</a> playing recurring original characters and doing celebrity impressions. The series premiered on <a href="/wiki/Fox_Broadcasting_Company" title="Fox Broadcasting Company">Fox</a> on October 14, 1995, and <a href="/wiki/List_of_Mad_TV_episodes" title="List of Mad TV episodes">ran for 14 seasons</a>. Its final episode aired on May 16, 2009. Salzman created Mad TV with record producer <a href="/wiki/Quincy_Jones" title="Quincy Jones">Quincy Jones</a> after they purchased the rights to Mad in 1995. Salzman brought on Bahr and Small, who had formerly written for the sketch comedy television series <a href="/wiki/In_Living_Color" title="In Living Color">In Living Color</a>, as showrunners. The show was intended to compete with fellow sketch comedy series <a href="/wiki/Saturday_Night_Live" title="Saturday Night Live">Saturday Night Live</a> (SNL), which was experiencing declining viewership and poor critical reception. Critics noted that Mad TV had a more diverse cast than SNL and dealt with edgier, more lowbrow humor. Fox made few efforts to promote Mad TV, which typically fell behind SNL in ratings. Throughout its run, the network continually cut the series' budget before eventually canceling it in 2009. It <a href="/wiki/List_of_accolades_received_by_Mad_TV" title="List of accolades received by Mad TV">was nominated for numerous awards</a>, including 43 <a href="/wiki/Primetime_Emmy_Awards" title="Primetime Emmy Awards">Primetime Emmy Awards</a>, five of which it won. Critical reception of the series was mostly negative during its run and its sketches attracted notable controversy. Since its cancellation, it has appeared on several critics' lists of the best sketch comedy television series of all time. A 20th anniversary reunion special aired on <a href="/wiki/The_CW" title="The CW">The CW</a> on January 12, 2016. The CW also rebooted the series for a 15th and final season, which premiered on July 26, 2016. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Development">Development</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Mad_TV&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Development">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Quincy_Jones_1995.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/Quincy_Jones_1995.jpg/220px-Quincy_Jones_1995.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="255" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/Quincy_Jones_1995.jpg/330px-Quincy_Jones_1995.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/08/Quincy_Jones_1995.jpg/440px-Quincy_Jones_1995.jpg 2x" data-file-width="540" data-file-height="627" /></a><figcaption>Record producer <a href="/wiki/Quincy_Jones" title="Quincy Jones">Quincy Jones</a> (pictured) and television producer <a href="/wiki/David_Salzman" title="David Salzman">David Salzman</a> executive produced Mad TV after buying the rights to <a href="/wiki/Mad_(magazine)" title="Mad (magazine)">its namesake magazine</a> in 1995.</figcaption></figure> <a href="/wiki/William_Gaines" title="William Gaines">William Gaines</a>, who owned <a href="/wiki/EC_Comics" title="EC Comics">EC Comics</a> and published the American humor magazine <a href="/wiki/Mad_(magazine)" title="Mad (magazine)">Mad</a> from 1950 until his death in 1992, refused to sell the rights to the magazine as he disliked television.
