ArchivesSciFi’s Mad Mad House debuts tonight.
SciFi’s Mad Mad House, which follows 10 guests competing against each other in a house with five “alts,” debuts tonight at 9 p.m. ET, opposite The Apprentice. The alts are a Wiccan, a naturist, a modern primitive, a voodoo priestess and a vampire, and they “will challenge [the guests], judge them and eliminate them one by one.” The last remaining guest—the most open-minded one—gets $100,000. Critical reaction to the show is mostly negative: The Miami Herald’s critic says the show is “such garbage that you should be severely punished if you’re even thinking about watching it,” while the New York Daily News describes it as a “mean, wretched series.” The Toronto Star is less harsh, saying it “swallows so many old gimmicks it often chokes on self-parody.” But Newsday writes that Mad Mad House “turns out to be more humane than most of its predecessors, not to mention funnier,” and the New York Times says it “is a ghoulish reality show that may inadvertently work to sound the depths of casual American religious belief.”
