A Mad Look at TV

A short-lived but memorable series from Warner Books, A Mad Look at TV (1976–1980) took the signature satirical style of Mad magazine and focused its irreverent eye on the small screen, lampooning the shows, commercials, and personalities of 1970s television. Over four issues, the comic offered a hilarious, period-specific critique of the medium, capturing the era's pop culture with the same sharp, parody-driven humor that defined the Mad brand. While not as famous as the main magazine, it stands as a fun, niche artifact of its time, showcasing the talent of Mad's regular contributors in a concentrated, TV-themed format.
