Set 1
This show was intended to be a 30-minute special and the tape I have has a big, blank spot at the beginning for local sponsor information to be inserted. Clocking in at 22 minutes, the tone was very close to the tone of Mad at the time: irreverent, offbeat, satirical, and timely. Overseen by the magazine's editorial staff (Larry Siegel, Stan Hart, Tom Koch, Earle Doud, and Don Edwing), the skits feature many of the classic characters from the magazine, as well as satirical bits about popular programming of the time. One big drag, though, is that the wonderful artwork of Sergio Aragones, Al Jaffe and Dick De Bartolo is nowhere to be found, but it's forgiven since they weren't on staff yet. But the presence of Don Martin?s long-chinned, buggy-eyed characters and the Spy Vs. Spy routines more than make up for it.
