[Groop] MAD Cartoon Show

[Gary Grossmann]

Hi Folks!
 
I watched the repeat of the 15 minute MAD cartoon show on Cartoon Network last night.  I was very unimpressed.  First off, I didn’t think most of it was very funny.  And the way the primary Sergio contribution was presented was very annoying, although I admit that I don’t see how a Sergio cast of thousands drawing can be properly presented on TV.  What’s great about a Sergio drawing like the one for “Where is Lady Gaga” is that there are maybe 200 characters and at least 50 gags.  It takes time to look at the art to see and appreciate all those characters and gags.  But that’s not what TV is all about, especially the rapid fire show like MAD.  They should stick to animating his Marginal type drawings.   
 
By the way, I was not able to see if there was a Groo anywhere in the “Where is Lady Gaga” art.  Did anyone record the show so that the drawing can be freeze framed and looked at in detail?  It’s on again tonight at 9:45.  
 
What did everyone else think?
