Friends of Bad

With the arrival of September comes the Fall television season. This is the time, of course, during which new series are launched. With that launch spirit in mind, I'm pleased to announce the launch of a spin-off of this site. Yes, a TV Boy spin-off. The new spin-off site is called Friends of Bad, and whether or not this internet spin-off ends up being more of a Frasier or more of a Flo will ultimately be up to you, the gentle reader.

Friends of Bad actually resides on the Myspace site, and it serves as a repository for all that is so-bad-it’s-good: videos, music, photos, and more. Consider it a clearinghouse for the absurd and unusual.

To get things started, I’ve loaded the site with a few local television commercials and a dozen or so photos. In addition, a few early visitors to the site have shared their own bad videos (filed under the “comments” section on the main page).

There’s a feature of Myspace that allows page owners to “invite” fellow Myspace users to become “friends” of his or her site. To that end (and in the spirit of all that absurd), I’ve secured for the Friends of Bad site the “friendship” of some of the best personalities from the worlds of bad and/or unusual entertainment… including some of the most outrageous contestants from VH1’s Flavor of Love, and even The Brady Bunch’s Cousin Oliver himself. It seems only fitting, don't you think?

So what are you waiting for? Click on the link below, and become a “friend of bad.”
