MAD TV and "Talkshow" swap timeslots

[MarcB]

Just noticed "Talkshow" is now on 11PM-12AM on FOX and MAD-TV is now on 12AM-1230AM. I know MAD-TV is (was) supposed to be leaving the air in May 09, but I didn't know they were cutting it to 30 mins.

And here I thought MAD-TV was completely gone? I think they should completely cancel it now. After PowerBALL, I left WTIC-TV/DT (FOX) Hartford on, saw this instead of the other show and was quite puzzled.

The only problem I have with 'Talkshow with Spike Feresten' is that he tries too hard to be like David Letterman. I saw part of his show last night. He has a feature called "Viewer Mail" (Sound familiar?) Although Spikes spin is that these are (apparently) Dr. Phil's letters. The letters and responses were lame so I flipped back to SNL.

This is a 6-week tryout. Mad TV will revert back to the 11 PM timeslot after that with their final shows airing in May (already taped).

There is talk that Fox is grooming Spike to do an 11 PM-Midnight weeknight show on Fox.

??? What happend to Cheaters? I thought that aired at Midnight?

 

[DToTheJ]

Cheaters is a syndicated program, not a Fox network show.

There are still people who can't tell a network show from a syndicated one? ???

But "Cheaters" is sooo Fox...

The only problem I have with 'Talkshow with Spike Feresten' is that he tries too hard to be like David Letterman.

Probably comes from his time as a Letterman writer. Which wouldn't be so bad if he hadn't already gone down this road.

Check out the "Late Show" episode of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast.
