Stark Raving Mad is an American sitcom that aired on NBC from 1999 to 2000. The series starred Tony Shalhoub and Neil Patrick Harris.

Neil Patrick Harris is Stark's reluctant editor Henry McNeeley, who has a variety of phobias and possibly obsessive-compulsive disorder. On January 10, 2000, the sitcom won a People's Choice Award for Favorite New Television Comedy Series. The sitcom premiered on September 23, 1999 and was officially cancelled by NBC on April 15, 2000 despite having a 10.7 average household share and being ranked 15th among all programs.
Margaret 'Maddie' Keller was to be played by Jessica Cauffiel as she appears in several early cast photos.
In some countries the series was renamed: Loco enloquecido (Latin American),Stark, loco de atar (Spain), Splitter Pine Gal (Norway), Kreisi kynäniekka (Finland) and "En förläggares mardröm" (Sweden).
