Mad, stylized as MAD, is an animated sketch comedy series produced by Kevin Shnick and Warner Bros. Animation for Cartoon Network. Based off the 1952 magazine of the same name, it ran from September 6, 2010 to December 2, 2013, spanning four seasons across three years.
Often referred as "Robot Chicken for kids", the series parodied pop culture that was relevant at the time, most of which have not aged well. It also parodied properties that Warner Bros. owned, including Cartoon Network, Hanna-Barbera and Looney Tunes.
