Season Summary
Opening Montage:
The title sequence for season two is exactly the same as the previous season. It starts off with several fingers pointing at a bomb. Then the bomb explodes and several different pictures of Alfred E. Neuman appears on the screen followed by the MADtv logo. Furthermore, the theme song, which is performed by the hip-hop group Heavy D & the Boyz, begins. Each member of the cast is introduced alphabetically and silently with their name appearing in caption over single-colored live action clips of each performer. In between the introduction of each cast member are more pictures of Alfred E. Neuman. When the last cast member is introduced, the music stops and the title sequence ends with the phrase "You are now watching MADtv..."
