"Fox has brought it's late-night sketch comedy series to an end. According to Variety, Mad TV will end its run at the end of this season. However, much like Fox's recently-cancelled King of the Hill, there seems to be interest in continuing the series on another network."There's been great interest in recent years," said executive producer David Salzman. "We've had a number of networks inquire as to whether the show was coming off Fox and saying that they'd be interested. We have not started to talk to them yet, but now is the time to begin those conversations. I think we have real prospects, but you never know, especially given the economy."The series received a shortened season order this season, with production set to end in December, but Fox decided to break the news now, in order for the show to prepare its final send-off."This will give us a proper sendoff, a chance to promote the finale and bring back old cast members," Salzman said.The reason for the cancellation appears to be strictly a financial decision."
