saw more changes in show format and cast members.Repertory players Ike
Barinholtz, Frank Caeti, and Nicole Randall Johnson and feature player
Lisa Donovan were let go from the cast (Barinholtz left due to
creative differences while Caeti, Johnson, and Donovan were fired).
Johnny Sanchez (the first Latino male hired since season six's Nelson
Ascencio) joined the cast as a repertory player, while Dan Oster,
Anjelah Johnson, and Daheli Hall were hired as feature players.The
show format had also undergone major changes. Brian Fairlee giving an
episode preview was phased out and replaced with the return of the
cold opening sketches (mostly music video parodies, fake commercials,
mock movie trailers, and TV show promos). John Crane and Bruce Leddy
-- the series showrunners, head writers, and executive producers â€"
directed most of the episodes. The show itself was relocated to a new
studio (The Henry Fonda Music Box Theater) in order to give the show
the feel of a live event, due in part to FOX's extensive budget cuts
and competition from Saturday Night Live and its growing popularity
from The Lonely Island's "Digital Shorts" on that show. MADtv's
pretaped sketches shown this season were very minimal, using little to
no elaborate props, settings, or costumes. Mad TV (season 13) Top Movies & Young Movies
