Bluey is arguably a parenting show that kids can watch, too.

Very different shows. I lived the Ren & Stimpy era, but it really is more of a subversive pre-teen & older show.
Bluey is a true kids show that can be genuinely enjoyed by all ages.

Neither of these traits disqualified MAD Magazine from being the total shit when I was 7.

I mean this is probably a generational thing. I can’t exactly remember what MAD was like, but I’m pretty sure no 7yos I know of would be reading it today.

Why?
That’s not a challenge. Well… not yet at least. 
I can think of dozens of possibilities, but I’m not sure which you think are relevant.

Again, I haven’t seen a MAD magazine in maybe 25 years, but the obvious answer is that I don’t think the content was terribly appropriate for most 7yos I know.
It’s the same reason my kids haven’t yet watched Princess Mononoke or Blair Witch Project, or read 1984. I’m sure they will at some point, but I don’t think they’re ready yet.
Bluey is a really great show.

Here’s one I distinctly remember. Where I got it says it’s from 1974. If true, I must have read a reprint, so I couldn’t tell you how old I was.
The last panel on this page is where they decided to draw the line.
The rest is three more pages of the same, which I’ll spare you because it’s rather tedious.
In terms of what we’re talking about, the beauty of this cartoon is the structure is about as complicated as Sesame Street. It provides unambiguous guidance to the more complicated themes it presents.
That’s what stands out to me as the bigger question with MAD of that era. Is it giving guidance a parent is comfortable with?

I remember reading mad when I was maybe 12ish? I liked the folding pages. But then I had older siblings to leave things like that around.
Ren and Stimpy is def not a kids show.
I've only seen a little Bluey but it looks calming and not terribly annoying. (I think I watched a few episodes when I was sick and could find nothing else on.)
