Customer Reviews

A book for those who need one!

This book os full of hilarious parodies of T.V. shows from present day an from a LONG time ago- like when I was a kid. This book has an introduction by Weird Al' Yankovic, and tons of comics! They have parodies of: Everybody Loves Raymond Friends Seinfeld Star Trek Batman Jeopardy And more! This book is mostly black and white, however in the middle of the book, there is about 16 pages of color, a nice change from the regular black and white!

Great

Who else could send us to our graves laughing in delight other than Mad? Answer : Nobody. The boys are ate it again, with these classic spoofs of all our favorite sitcoms, soap operas and cartoons. My personal favoirtes are : When Seasame street joins the vast political right wing and the spoof on Kung-Fu (Kung Fool). You really can't go wrong with mad, aside from Calvin and Hobbes's creator and writer Bill Watterson, these guys are the only ones who can make me laugh out loud while reading the gags. If your new to MAD then this is the perfect place to start, even though I'm too young to have seen all the shows that are in this book I still get a kick out of reading them and you will too. I reccomend getting this one first, before checking out the other books MAD has to offer. This is the perfect gift for anyone at anytime, so cheer them up and make 'em laugh to death!

I am mad about mad tv!!

This book is incredibly funny with parodies of tv shows that you enjoy. From the original Batman series to X-Files this book has it all!!

Superb!

A great synopsis of the past 30 years of TV history as seen through the warped minds of MAD. I owned some of these issues in the 70's but it was nice to see that some of the gang hadn't lost their touch into the eighties and nineties. If you like this you'll love MAD about the seventies. They both bring back fond and funny memories.
