[MADtv] Craig Anton, Pablo Francisco, and Tim Conlon

I'm not sure what you mean by "frequently listed a featured players," but they are credited under "special appearamce by" at the end.

I don't know, but Pablo's site says that he's an ex-cast member, so maybe that's why. Craig was meant to be a cast member, and I don't know about Tim. Its probably also because they guest starred so much that we just thought they were cast members.

I think the "special appearances by" thing ran before "featured players" didn't it?

Possibly.............

Maybe... but in early season three when they had the four featured players (Alex, Chris, Pat, Lisa), Craig and Tim were still credited as special appeances.

In the ep101 credits, it does say "guest starring", what do the rest of the eps say w/ him in it?

Do you know why he was replaced last minute Dumbguy?

He was supposed to be in the cast of the first season, but at the last minute was replaced by Bryan Callen, which is why he appeared in several filmed segments of season 1 and 2. Then he returned as a recurring special guest in season 3. Most people usually associate him as a part of the cast even though he technically wasn't. It's weird how he was credited as special guest in season 3, since they treated him exactly like a cast member (he even usually appeared on the stage with them during the credits). Perhaps it's because he wasn't always in every episode.

You basically repeated everything I said, but anyway, It's kind of weird that they replaced someone talented like Craig with someone like Bryan.

It's been decided that Craig is to be removed as a castmember since he is never even listed as such in any credits. Please edit your guides accordingly, including adding him to the notable appearances thread and any others if necessary.

Okay, thanks a lot! Pablo Francisco and Tim Conlon were never cast members either. So please remove their threads and their names from the recurring characters list.

Alright, same stuff I mentioned for Craig, goes for these two also.

Well, I just sent Pablo an email, asking him what his status was on MADtv. In his resume, he has listed himself as a "MADtv Castmember", so take that for what you will.

This is a very good point. I'd personally like to have proof showing they were in a castmember category.

Try to get as much information you can from him and about the others too.

Thats stupid... sorry, I'm just being honest but it is. They were obviously part of the cast because they certainly weren't musical guests, they weren't guest stars because they weren't famous at all, and they appeared in alot of sketches, especially Craig. Thats messed up
