BEN CASES
BEN CASEY
1961-1966 ABC
This cover had more to it. Even after the water damage you can see from the original they cut off a lot of what would have been Frankenstein's lab, and cropped out Igor for some reason.
THE BEN CASEY SHOW
Sick # 16, October 1962
artist: Bob Powell?
Sick often did their parodies under the guise of “reviews”. Which meant there was more text than the other magazines.
This Jack Davis illustration was originally in color and looks like it was meant to be a cover but they decided to abandon Igor and couldn't crop him out.
This was the original.
They did another parody a couple years later.

Sick liked doing this show. Here's a part of Plan X for Next Year's TV by future MAD regular Don Edwing and Jack Sparling from #35 in March 1965
This is from an article called If TV Shows Were Written by the Ad Agencies in Sick #48, November 1966. Not sure who the artist is.
Jack Davis did a cover for another issue, #28 in May 1964. There was nothing about the show on the inside, though.

BEN CASINGS
Car Toons #13, August-September 1963

One of the original Dr. McDreamys had a few novelty songs made about him. Here's one of them.
UPDATE:
From Stupidity on Television in MAD #83, December 1963, by Stan Hart and Mort Drucker.
For a while, MAD had a feature called A Celebrity's Wallet. This was from #74, October 1962.
Cracked did a parody of the poem Casey At The Bat that was about this show; it ran in issue #26. Oddly, it didn't really make fun of the show, or even reference much of anything specific about it.
