LOL you're probably referring to "Stuart and Swan Month" in February sweeps in season seven.

Although they showed I think 17 Swan sketches or something like that in season four (which depended almost entirely on recurring characters), and Stuart was on a lot.. sooo..

Everybody Loves Raymond's Lesbian Cousin
This was pretty good, the two impressions were funny but i would of liked to see more done with this like impressions of the parents aswell i guess Frank would have to play all three then lol.
3.5/5

TRL: Music Video: Emcee Esher: ..... In The ......
This was good and so true when thinking of todays rap artist's lyrics.
4/5

Connie Chung Tonight: Paige By Paige
This was ok, since ive never seen the two people they were parodying before but Mo was good.
3/5

Shaq And The Super Lakers: Heavyweight Waterboy
This wasnt as good as the last one but still wasnt that terrible.
2.5/5

Football Game Marriage Proposal
This was great, good to see appearances by all the cast.
4/5

Hollywood Squares: Stars Of UPN
This was pretty good, Tom Bergeron was funny and so were the featured players. But i thought it would of been funnier if they had all the squares fulled up (they have just enough cast members by my calculations) they should have done a Nicole Sullivan impression that would have been classic!
3.5/5

Geert The Dutch Boarder
This was good, Mo and Michael playing the two over excited,happy parents was funny.
3.5/5

Feuding Parents: Thanksgiving Dinner
This again was good not as good as the first IMO but it was still funny. Ron playing the grandpa trying to eat lol.
3.5/5

Entertainment Tonight: Kathy Griffin's D-List Celebrity Thanksgiving Special
This wasnt that good the impressions werent that funny. Ha it was funny at the end where Mo goes " speaking of wastes of time coming up next my interview with Chris Kattan "
1.5/5

Close: Feuding Parents
This was great for a closing segment, funny stuff.
4/5

Overall
This episode was pretty good better than last weeks with only one sketch being really bad im still waiting for that episode where every sketch is great, fingers crossed!
7.5/10

I love that show!!! Tonights episode was so good eh?

[Scorpiogrrl4405]

Maybe you should write to Mad and send the picture and ask about it


I don't think that the assistance were supposed to be in the sketch, I think it was just really bad editing by the show. Either that or it was a blatant attempt at humour, but I would go for the former simply because of how they were hidden.

[Knickers]

Well yeah I do agree that Stuart has been funny lately, but Jeez, I'd rather see a parody than a recurring character..

[madtvdude]

A pretty funny episode. I especially liked the Dutch border named Gurt (sp?) played by Josh, Hollywood Squares with the UPN "stars," and Bobby Leee's Connie Chung. Everybody Loves Raymond's Cousin was funny, but mostly because of Michael McDonald's impression of Brad Garrett. Kathy Griffin looked like she was on auto-pilot in her skit (but maybe it's all the plastic surgery). I didn't think the cartoon was very funny. They need to make more CLOPS, Public Schoolhouse Rocks, or Raging Rudolph-types. The fighting parents at Thanksgiving were great, but a little too close to home to my own parents. Yikes! All in all, a good show.

Welcome to the board, madtvdude!

This episode was just so-so. Nothing was excellent, although there was some pretty good stuff (Hollywood Squares, Marraige Proposal, Connie Chung Tonight, TRL). Daniele Gaither shined in all of her roles in this episode and I am really starting to like her. She is nowhere near Debra Wilson, but she definitely stands out from the other featured players. There was some stuff that I didn't like (Shaq & Super Lakers, Geert, D-List Celebs).

I think that Aries Spears has just about run his course on the show. He hasn't really done anything noteworthy this season and most of his impressions, especially Shaq, have been done too much and are extremely annoying. I still wish that Frank Caliendo was used more, he still doesn't get enough to do. Otherwise, this episode was just alright. This felt like something from season 8. Season 9 has been so much better than this for most of the season that this was kind of a let down. Also, wasn't Boy Meets Goy's Andra supposed to be in Hollywood Squares?

[Scorpiogrrl4405]

I think that was just a rumour.

It's kinda like the Baby Shower sketch that got advertised on tv as one that was gonna be in last weeks show but wasn't.

I think Mad is slowly losing its mind.

I also think Aries has run his course. Too many of the same rapper/sports figure impressions. Nothing at all worthwhile.

He needs to go next........

Sorry, that was my bad. I had originally listed him in the original who/what post cuz I thought my source had it mixed into two when it shoulda' been one. I thought that cuz of the absence of enough players. In my defense I did say "(tentative sketches)" this time though, lol. Here is the other Hollywood Squares sketch that will be coming soon:

Hollywood Squares (Michael- Andra, Josh- James, Paul- Bruce Vilanche, Nicole- Ellen Degeneres)

I'm sure it'll be delayed for awhile though seeing how they just aired this one. I hear Nicole does a good Ellen.

Oh I didnt know the feuding parents were recurring characters. Ike was really boring in that sketch anyway. Didn't mean to cause a commotion!!! I just thought that It was odd that there was no Stuart/ Trina/ Dot/ Lorraine/ Rusty/ Marvin Tikvah/ Mrs Campbell etc.... Im not too sure what other recurring characters there are for the other cast members anyway

Huh, I found Shaq and the super lakers funny as hell, but I've always had a soft spot for any animated segments. Least favourite sketch was that kathy griffon one..that was a big waste of time..

[MikeMcDonaldGrl]

Andra (bouncy boobed girl with pigtails Michael plays) never showed up in the HollyWood Squares sketch....wtf was that about?? I was waiting for Andra throughout the whole episode!!
