Default Mad Movies




Before MST3K, there was what was called "Mad Movies with the L.A. Connection". *It was a 1985 syndicated television show produced by the comedy troupe the L.A. Connection. Every episode is a spoof of a classic movie where the video is the original (although edited to fit the show's half-hour format) but all the dialogue is overdubbed with humorous dialogue written and voiced by the L.A. Connection, in a manner similar to Woody Allen's feature-length film What's Up, Tiger Lily?. During one season, 26 half-hour episodes were produced. Before producing the series, the L.A. Connection did live comedy dubbing of films at the Ken Theater and the Nuart Theater in Los Angeles.
The original run was syndicated to local stations by Four Star Television during the 1985-1986 television season; it was later seen in reruns on Nick at Nite from 1987 to 1989.

For the longest time after the show was pulled there were no episodes to be found on the internet, and the only way to grab any was to contact Four Star. Then, one day last week I decided to give them another search, and lo and behold, there's pretty much every episode ever made, much to my delight. These are quite funny, and their use of tieing a them to each episode is brilliant. So, if you've never watched an episode, and are a fan of witty humor, give em a shot. I'm almost certain you'll laugh a bit if not become an outright fan like I am.
