[Groop] MAD Cartoon Show

[Neil Ottenstein]

I was waiting to say anything about it.  I also wasn't very impressed
by the two satires.  The two marginals they animated were pretty nice.
I remember reading the Don Martin one they animated.

As far as the “Where is Lady Gaga” - I didn't take the time to notice
all that much.  I agree it wasn't served very well by the TV.

Still, the show is just 15 minutes, so I'll continue to give it a chance.

The Cartoon Network website still just has the original promo video
and no others.  It could be that after the second episode airs they'll
put up some video for the first one.
