Trivia

After three weeks of unimpressive ratings, The Mad Bad Ad Show was pulled from its 10pm slot and was replaced by a "funny clips downloaded from the internet" programme. The last three episodes were burned around 11:30pm four weeks later.

To add insult to injury, the third episode was cut down from its normal 50 minutes to half-an-hour when first shown on Friday. Thankfully, they showed the episode again five days later, in its full 50 minutes of glory.
