A Saw Screams At Midnight |
38 and 39 |
Originally taken from a book by the same title copyrighted in 1956.
Broderbund was probably unable to get permission from the original publisher, E.P. Dutton & Co. A long-shot might be that Carl Reiner didn't want his photos featured. |

The Night People vs.
"Creeping Meatballism" |
41 thru 44 |
Mad claims to have recorded these "off-the-cuff remarks" from famous disc-jockey of the time, Jean Shepherd. Broderbund was probably unable tosecure permission from the Shepherd estate. |

The Old Philosopher Sobs
"The Disc Jockey's Lament" |
34 and 35 |
From an original song by Eddie Lawrence produced by Coral Records, Inc. Broderbund most likely couldn't get permission from Lawrence and/or Coral Records. |
| #36 |
My Frien' Dufo |
12 thru 15 |
Mad's "illustrated version" of a Wally Cox monologue was obviously not as easy for Broderbund to duplicate on the CD-ROM. The Cox estate probably said "no". |

What It Was, Was Football! |
44 thru 47 |
This Andy Griffith routine launched his career and was originally put out by Capital Records. Broderbund must have had problems getting permission from Griffith and/or Capital Records. |

Look What's Talking! |
16 and 17 |
Mad reprinted samples from a book by the same title published in 1962 by Far Flung Enterprises. The original publisher or creators probably refused to give Broderbund permission, but I'd like to believe it's because at least a couple of the samples are in outdated, politically incorrect poor taste and could potentially offend people of German or Asian descent. |

Comic Strips They'd
Really Like To Do |
38 thru 41 |
Popular comic strip artists of the time contributed strips to Mad and as a bonus explained why their submissions were strips they really wanted to do. Broderbund must have had problems with one or more of the six contributors. |
