Does anyone know if this set has the Spishack(sp?) Ovens for Kids commercial? "Has this ever happened to you?" I love that one.
Also Kenny Rogers Jackass is great. And obviously any Bunny Swan, Stuart, or the fat guy played by Michael McDonald (forgot his name) who always says "Come on".

Michael McDonald (who recently again played Stuart when former regular Mo Collins guest starred) didn't join the series until the 4th season in 1998. Although he's still on the show after 7 years, I read that Mike is now playing Kirstie Alley's agent in her new Showtime sitcom
Fat Actress. Alex Borstein (who was Miss Swan) didn't join MAD TV until the 3rd season.
McDonald still sometimes does the Spishak spokeman and that fat, old Jewish guy named Marvin.
This February, FOX had a MAD TV 10th anniversary month. Several cast members including original cast members who left: Nicole Sullivan, Debra Wilson, and
The Howard Stern Show regular Artie Lange all turned up in sketches working with the current cast. Lange actually was fired from MAD TV in 1997 following a cocaine addiction and successful rehab. Nicole and Debra had appeared on the 200th episode a few years ago (which was the "bonus" episode on the 1st season set) and both ladies occasionally returned several times since. From the middle years, Will Sasso left the show and came back for a couple of shows including one this season. He's the guy who played Kenny Rogers and Bill Clinton.
In one of the recent shows Susan Sarandon made her second MAD TV guest appearance, again playing up her sexiness.
MAD TV isn't really any better or worse now than it was when it started -- just different. You can always catch the reruns not yet on DVD on Comedy Central.
On FOX the private parts are always blurred out. Was she really naked or just wearing body suits - in which case the FOX censors were teasing us?
