Looks like the REAL Custer vs THE LEGEND OF CUSTER
tv show. Remember that around 1968? They even took two TV shows, spliced them together and released it as a movie in SE Asia.

don’t get me wrong. I think Custer does not get a historical fair shake in today’s liberal world.

I believe their TV show was MAD TV. On late night for just a year or so back in the 1980s.

And the movie they released in the 1980s was horrible.

MAD TV gave us one of the greatest skits ever.

Dave Berg’s “The Lighter Side Of.....” comics were priceless.

MAD’s spoof of “Valley of the Dolls” Sept 68 was classic!

It's hard to believe that at one time, MAD magazine was considered controversial and too edgy for kids to read. My parents allowed me to read whatever I wanted. So long as I was reading SOMETHING, and not just watching TV, they were happy.

Other parents thought it was scandalous that I was allowed to have those kind of magazines out in the open in my home. There were other such satire magazines (i.e. Cracked and Sick) that I would get as well but they were all second fiddle to MAD.

YES! That’s the one. I can’t believe you found it. The version I had was all black & white with no color. Thank you so much.

One of my favorites.

Deeee-lite-full! I like the accuracy of the guns.

When I was in ninth grade my history teacher read us an authentic Dodge City newspaper article from the 1880s reporting a typical Saturday night gunfight between two cowboys. It seems these two had been drinking together and got into a heated discussion in one of the local saloons about a debt one claimed the other owed him for a bet. Fisticuffs soon resulted in them both drawing their guns at which point the bar tender told them to take the dispute outside.

Repairing to the street, where according to witnesses, they had a face off gunfight from ten feet apart. After several pauses in the fight to reload, and 47 shots later, having shot out four windows of various stores, accidentally killing a stray chicken, and having scared off a horse and a mule, much to the horse and mule owners’ irritation, the two cowboys ran out of ammunition, and suddenly remembered the debt in dispute had been paid. The two stumbled back into the saloon to continue drinking, where a deputy marshall shortly found them and arrested both for disturbing the peace.

ROFLMAO! Seems like they had the equivalent of "Florida Man" / Dem voters back then, too.
