Evening Entertainment: 1974's Mad Magazine TV Special


"Mad TV" wasn't the first time the venerable comic book that mocked everything it could took a shot at the small screen.  In 1974, they took a shot at making a pilot for a potential animated series that feels completely like the magazine in animated form, featuring cartoon adaptations of the likes of Dave Berg, Al Jaffee, Mort Drucker, Don Martin and more.  The pilot, unfortunately, led to nothing, but at least you can see it for yourself.  (Dangerous Minds has a longer write-up about the project here.)
