(Toronto, ON, December 2, 2011) – TELETOON starts the holidays right by adding the animated series MAD to its already hot programming lineup. This cult-classic will begin airing December 5 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Produced by Warner Bros. Animation and inspired by the iconic MAD magazine, published by DC Comics, MAD a 15-minute sketch-comedy series that utilizes a twisted mix of humor and animation styles in order to pull back the curtain and expose the sordid truth behind movies, TV shows, games and, of course, curtains!

Alfred E. Neuman, Spy vs. Spy and other classic MAD icons are on board to help skewer the viewer, because no one and nothing is safe from MAD's barrage of pop culture parodies and punch lines.
