MAD gets it right

Seriously, I do not understand the hype this show gets. Not that I think it's bad, but I think Family Guy is to The Simpsons as Friends is to Seinfeld: a reliable deliverer of laughs on a borrowed formula, but never anything transcendent. Although, obviously, it's funnier than The Simpsons has been for at least 5 years.

My name is Chris Oliver. I'm a stand up comic, writer and English (ESL) teacher living in Los Angeles. With my wife, comic Bobbie Oliver, I am the co-proprietor of Tao Comedy Studio. I direct the web series Saving Face (starring Bobbie Oliver and Sally Mullins), host the comedy/talk show podcast Psychedelicatessen Radio (with Bobbie) and host the music podcast Sleestak Lightnin!!!. I was born and raised in Stuart, Fla. (Jensen Beach, to be more precise), a small, beachy suburb north of Palm Beach on the Atlantic coast. Went to LaGrange College in GA. Got married after graduating and moved to Athens, GA. In '97, we moved to L.A. Psychedelicatessen is the name of a band I was in in high school and college.
