Fans of "MADtv" swear the show is much better than "Saturday Night Live"... but this collection of the first season's episodes demonstrates that the show is frequently very funny, in its own subversive way.

It takes a lot to make Saturday Night Live look like a sharp, sophisticated show, but Mad TV's lowbrow stab at humor does just that.

Not surprisingly, such spoofs of pop culture are a staple of Mad TV's lineup, and some of its filmed movie parodies have been especially clever.

In short, there's no breakthrough material or personality as yet, but the cast is gearing up with appealing verve.

Imagine a Saturday late-night comedy show with lame jokes, good ideas that fizzle, a liberal dash of tastelessness and vulgarity and a cast you've never heard of.

Best of all, like the SNL of old, Mad TV knows how to spoof commercials, with priceless parodies of Budweiser frogs and ''MacDumpsters.''
