Mad Just Before the Decline.,
By
This review is from: Mad About the Seventies: The Best of the Decade (Paperback)
Mad as a magazine hit its pinacle in the mid 1960s and then began a decline away from the adult readership to the aimed at kids pap it is today.The 1970s was however was a fertile period but you can see Mad's shift away from social issues towards the entertainment industry. Still a fun read though.

When MAD was at its best!,
By Ken Kibby "lover of whatever" (Benicia, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mad About the Seventies: The Best of the Decade (Paperback)
Reading this book shows you MAD Magazine as it once was, the only place where anyone and anything can be slammed without stirring contrversy. I am a MAD subscriber and the issues I get have a lot of sexual innuendo or white trash humor or stereotypes of young adult life. (But it's still funny) MAD was great in the 70s, and am I glad to own a copy of this!

hysterically funny remembrances of the seventies,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mad About the Seventies: The Best of the Decade (Paperback)
If you lived through the seventies, and watched t.v. and movies during that period, this will bring all of the fun memories back to you! The satires of the movies and t.v. shows are, in particular, HILARIOUS!!!
