We've heard that
Mad TV will be leaving the FOX schedule in a couple of weeks, canceled after 14 years on the network (
Talk Show with Spike Feresten has also been axed). Now it looks like the people at the late night comedy show have no intention of hanging things up.
Producer David Salzman is
looking for another network to pick up the show. He says that this finale coming up is the "FOX finale," but he's talking to other networks about doing another season of the show (at least).
So, what network would be a good place for
Mad TV to continue? I think there are three or four networks that come immediately to mind (no, I don't see it on Lifetime or WE). After the jump, let us know what channel would be a good fit for this show.

After 14 years on the air,
Fox has finally decided to pull the plug on Mad TV. I can't say I was an overwhelming fan but I did watch one or two of their early shows and got a chuckle out of it. The sudden revitalization of
SNL's popularity was probably the final nail in that coffin (thank you, Tina Fey).
Let me eulogize for a moment. Others have tried to take on the
Saturday Night Live juggernaut through the years and failed much more quickly. This show lasted 14 years against it. Pretty impressive, if you ask me. It also helped launch the careers of several comedians/actors, including Alex Borstein, Orlando Jones and Artie Lange.
While I don't think
Mad TV was the worst show on television, it wasn't the best either. It amazes me that this show lasted 14 years on Fox while
Firefly was canceled before the first season finished broadcasting.
