Mad (stylized as MAD) is an American animated sketch comedy television series produced by Warner Bros. Animation. The series was based on Mad magazine, where each episode is a collection of short animated parodies of television shows, films, video games, celebrities, and other media, using various types of animation (CGI, claymation, stop-motion, photoshopped imagery, etc.) instead of the usual animation style that Warner Bros. Animation is known for. The series premiered on the evening of September 6, 2010 on Cartoon Network at 8:30 P.M. right after the series premiere of Regular Show. The series ended its three-year run on December 2, 2013.
Series developer Kevin Shinick worked as a writer, producer, and voice actor on Adult Swim's Robot Chicken, and many people cite Mad as a "kid-friendly version of Robot Chicken".
