I saw this exhibition a few weeks ago. My generally feeling was it didn't work that well, mostly because the MAD stuff is very dense, more dense than you'd expect from painting in an art gallery. A lot of it is also very dependent on pop culture that has changed in the interim. Probably the two best pieces were the direct parodies of the Rockwell paintings, exhibited next to the pieces they parodied. The Rockwell museum also made an effort to exhibit some of Rockwell's most humorous pieces in some of the side galleries, which worked well here.
