Actually, it didn't make him mad at all. He was just a little annoyed at first.
Anyways, it's one of the funniest cartoons I have ever watched in my life. Honestly, it's even better than "Animaniacs" and "Pinky and the Brain".

How did you manage that? Bootleg?

Day: Made.

Freakazoid! was the hands-down best of all of those great 90s Warner shows.

Arguably Ricardo Montalban's best role ever......


Why did "Freakazoid" piss off Mike Alred? I wasn't frequenting comic book websites when the series first aired so I missed this story.

[DWEarhart]

From Mike Allred from his website:

[Show creator] Bruce Timm was kind enough to tell me that Madman was a direct inspiration for the show--with comics open and referred to when developing the show.
Stupidly, I was flattered--happy to inspire anything. But when the show came out--with no acknowledgement [sic] or credit or any kind of compensation--I slowly became annoyed as everyone and their uncle confronted me with "there's this cartoon that's ripping off Madman" and "you outtah [sic] sue".

I simply wrote a friendly letter to [show producer] Steven Spielberg telling him his production was a direct lift of my creation, I had no intention of creating ripples--I just wanted him to know that I knew. No one replied--which is fine. And to be honest, Madman is an amalgam of a half a dozen other influences. So who am I to complain (the exclamation mark on the chest still kindah [sic] urks [sic] me a little though. A little too close for comfort).

How is Freakazoid a copy of Madman? They don't seem anything alike.

Man, You can find anything out there. These obviously were taped off the TV and then had the commercials cut out. I found all the G1 Transformers,and a whole bunch of stuff out there. All you have to do is look.
