MAD(the animated show) on Cartoon Network
15 years ago
General
From the pages of Mad Magazine, MAD TV and Someone who will soon be working for William's Street comes MAD a delightfully hilarious cartoon show filled with MAD humor directed at a younger audience...
When I first started watching it I noticed how much it reminds me of Robot Chicken with MAD jokes and skits. (namely Spy vs. Spy)
The more i watched, though, the more i realized that somewhere whoever got this show on the air dogged the PAC(Political Action Committee) for sheltering kids from adult-ish humor. Clearly the intelligence of child programming has declined over the past decade but has it gotten just so ridiculously stupid that MAD can pass off a Robot Chicken knockoff with almost the same adult humor and it be acceptable?
What
The
Fuck....
Other than that... the show is 15 minutes long, like a lot of the William Street's [AS] programming, and had the same thrill as sittign through an episode of Robit chicken minus the robot cex and replacing the barbie-fied celebrities with cheap South Park knockoff skits of all your favorite movies.
I give it a Gold Star for the idea but the fact that this clearly adult humor won't last too long with over prudish american righty wing-nut parents tarnishes the gold into a Silver Star.
