MISCUE 911

RESCUE 911
1989-1996 CBS

MISCUE 911
MAD #326, March 1994
w: Dick DeBartolo
a: Jack Davis

Docudrama about true cases involving the 911 police, fire, and emergency call systems hosted by William Shatner.

I keep looking and I can't tell if Angelo Torres did the Shatner heads.
Most of the cases had the real rescuers while the situations were reenacted. The mountain climber is a caricature of DeForest Kelley.

AMERICA'S MOST DAUNTED/RESCUE 911½
Cracked #287, January 1994
w: Judd Stomp
a:Rurik Tyler

America's Most Wanted was a similar show with John Walsh hosting re-enactments of cases of wanted criminals.

  1. I think you were right that Mad replaced Davis' caricatures of Shatner with ones by Torres. They did the same thing a few years earlier on another of Davis' pieces, a parody of Kevin Costner's Robin Hood, where they had Torres re-draw Costner's face in a few panels.
