Lost in Taradise might be Tara Reid. She is my number one target of Taras so she is probobly MadTv's too.

Oh and another thing... I canot stand John Cena. I mean, I used to have a strong hatred for the Rock until I saw this guy. I hope he doesn't ruin MadTV for me or imma be pissed.

2 Shatners in a row. Does MadTV not understand the art of moderation?? But Im looking forward to the Jazzed Girls.

[DCFCfan]

Hmm, alot of not so good sketches returning this week. 24?? William Shatner?? Coach Hines?? Martin Tikvah?? C'MON, STOP THE MADNESS! lol. i am looking forward to Jazzy Girls and if the Taradise is Tara Reid, it could be good if done well. I haven't seen much of Cena, but what I have seen, he doesn't really appeal to me. When are they gonna air the Luanne Lockheart sketch Crista told me about?? (i emailed her and she said there would be a new one sometime in november. i posted the email in the Upcoming Sketches And Guest Stars thread in the MADtv Repository about a month or so ago.)

This episode is a freaking recurring character bonanza.

Lost in Taradise might be a parody of her show on E!, Taradise, or Lost. Or a combination of the two.

MAD Informer
John Cena, drops in on Bobby in the latest - and funniest - edition of 24 with Bobby Lee

And somehow, saying that it will be the "funniest" makes me think it won't be, like last week's "hilarious" Vegas parodies.

• Open: John Cena (John Cena- himself, Arden- herself, Bobby- himself, Crista- herself)
  
• Lost in Taradise??? (???Parody of Lost???)
  
• Boston Legal (Frank Caliendo- William Shatner: Denny Crane)
  
• 24 with Bobby Lee (Bobby- himself, John Cena- himself, Crista- herself)
  
• Marvin Tikvah: New Talent Search (Michael- Marvin Tikvah)
  
• Jazzed For Crafts: Monster Truck Rally (Crista- Denise, Arden- Kendra)
  
• Knobs??? (???What's this???)
  
• Coach Hines: Bus Ride ((Ike- Principal Lankenstein, Keegan- Coach Hines)

Wow, this episode looks like a failure.
BTW, does anyone know if Stephnie Wier will be in the episode?

[Cagnazzo]

Looks like 1107 is gonna be another clunker. Coach Hines and Marvin Tikvah MIGHT be funny, though (Emphasis on the word might).

I think it's pretty safe to assume that the rest of Season 11 is going to suck big-time, based on the way they've been using recurring characters/impressions, especially those that haven't been very good (cough, Jazzed for Crafts, FOX NFL Sunday, 24 with Bobby Lee, cough). And I'm guessing this also may be the first Steph-less episode as well.

[Devin]

How come every time they have a good episode with new sketches they have to fill up the next one with old and dry characters we've seen 100 times!

Atleast there is no On the Download... hopefully...

But I'm glad there is a Jazzed for Crafts sketch!
Hopefully the Knobs...? or whatever will be good.

My god , this would be the first episode since Season 6 that Stephnie haven't appeared in (God this will suck)

[nick]

I think there are a couple of scenarios with Stephnie.

1) She taped enough sketches to make it seem like she's still a regular for the whole season. (like Debra's appearance last year)

2) MAD is using up her sketches and letting her go like Mo, mid-season.

I'd take Marvin Tikvah over FOX NFL Sunday and Neighborhood Watch ANY day of the week, but that's just me.

Here's my episode preview:

Open: John Cena: If the every other opening sucked (1102's Dubya opening notwithstanding), what makes you think this will be any better?

Lost in Taradise: This should be a pretty funny parody, but it leaves me to wonder whether Arden or Crista will play Tara (that is IF it's Tara Reid).

Boston Legal: Never seen the show before.

24 with Bobby Lee: It was funny the first time, crappy the second time, so I'm guessing this is going to be awful.

Marvin Tikvah: New Talent Search: Hm, a new Tikvah...he's an ok character, but far from the best, and I'm guessing this will be bad.

Jazzed For Crafts: Monster Truck Rally: This wasn't that good the first time...I expect to be worse this time.

Knobs: No idea what this is.

Coach Hines: Bus Ride: I don't hate or love Coach Hines, but for some reason I expect this to be funny. I'm probably wrong, though.

[Jericho]

I'm waiting for MAD to air a parody of Ashlee Simpson drunk at that Canadian McDonald's. It would be a good chance for Nicole to bring back her Ashlee impression.

Do you think the writers will come up with something like this?

I'm sorry, I am a little confused here. Is Stephanie Weir not a part of the show anymore? How sad if it is true! I love her!! I especially liked the 7a.m. condo reports with Ron P.

Hate hate hate Jazzed for Crafts!!

I can't wait for a new Coach Hines, Keegan makes me laugh so hard that I pee a little.

[Pizzotty]

I'm excited for the 24 sketch and the Marvin Tikvah sketch. I loved the 24 sketch that I saw and the Marvin Tikvah sketches. Not to happy with the Jazzed For Crafts and Coach Hines. Hopefully they will be funny though. Who knows? I laughed at a Tank and Bae Sung sketch. Anything could happen.

As for the rest of the sketches, I don't know what to expect. If they suck I will not be surprised.

[newt007]

Hmm, I don't ever remember hearing about a new Jazzed for Crafts/Jazzy Girls/Denise and Kendra sketch. Whatever you wanna call it, but I'm exxxcited about it anyways

[I_Love_Nicole_P]

I kinda like this episiode. I thought Knobs was hilarious!!! I know it was just senseless jitter, but than again what isn't on Mad TV
Good work Bobby Lee and Ike! Some fresh new material!

I also liked this weeks installment of 24! Freakin' Bobby Lee getting beaten up by a girl. A cute girl, albeit!
But still, it was a great to poke fun a Bobby, hehe.

The Coach Hines scene had potential, but I guess it didn't work for the best. Oh well, maybe next time!

As for there not being any Stephaine Weir, I say the less the better

[JJ McC]

Boston Legal & Marvin Tikvah were great!!

Anybody gonna send in a tape to Marvin's Star Search??

[Devin]

I'm doing the contest, but I only got part of the address. If you wrote it down please post it.

[elscorcho]

I can't believe I'm saying this but the Coach Hines sketch was so hilarious! "I will put a syringe of raw sewage in your ARM!" That was funneh. Oh and the knobs sketch...the part where Keegan and Frank were laughing all obnoxious and stuff was hilarious too. The rest of the sketch was kinda dumb except for the stupid questions and Ike's smart ass answers. It reminded me of all the times I've wanted to do the exact same thing to people. Keegan was good in this episode...kudos. Oh and Crafty Gals wasn't as good this time. Arden and Crista put in good performances but it just wasn't that great. And Michael...oh my god people STOP CHEERING FOR HIM. The simple act of him turning around shouldn't send people into an uproar of applause. I'm sick of that mofo.

Good luck, Devin.

[Pizzotty]

OMG! Haha, I'm soooo gonna do that Marvin Tikvah Star Search. See what happens. Ooh la la.

Alright, if there was any sketch that came before the John Cena, Arden, and that other girl opening, then I missed it. I only saw part of the opening. But I saw Arden about to kick that other girl's ASS! YOU GO GIRL!! What I saw wasn't really that funny though. The Boston Legal sketch was ok. Nothing really special about it. I didn't realize Boston Legal had all those Emmy Winners in the cast. Oh well, I don't watch it anyway. I thought that Marvin Tikvah sketch was really funny. LOVED IT! Hope to see some of you guys or girls enter the contest if they air the tapes on Tv. Lol, that would be cool. Jazzed For Crafts was better than the last one. I laughed in this one. Michael was funny to me. OMG that Kwanzaa thing was hilarious. "We have Biggie, Tupac, and Oprah...." LMAO! The 24 sketch was not as funny as the one with Jordan Peele, but it was still funny. Crista was funny in this. Lol The random bitch slap thing was hilarious. But they question is, Did he get bitched slapped or just slapped by a bitch? ANYWAY! Coach Hines wasn't funny to me like all the other times they've showed him. The Knobs sketch was a bit weird. I got most of the impressions Bobby were doing, but not all. Keegan and Frank's laughing got me laughing a lot. Especially Keegan's. Finally! Something his loud, over-acting behaviour belongs. As for the On The Download sketch, it was funnier than the previous 600 times they've aired them. OMG I was rolling when I saw Sandra Bullock or whatever her name is. Hahaha. There's my episode review. Didn't even see it coming.
