I have since converted most of them to a digital format and still watch them on my computer. Getting 'baked' with J&B is still a blast from time to time. That was a great time in BCATS history, I also taped a few episodes of Raw Shorts, The Video Show, The Christy Paxson Show and other great shows from that time period.

I have such fond memories of sitting down every week with friends for the new J&B episodes. would love to have the box set of J&B's- keep us posted when they are available.

You are absolutely right, there is a large underground group of die hard ROX fans in btown. Most of them just accepted the change when the show stopped airing as much. Whenever I go to the MCPL people talk about J & B like they are gods, I'm not kidding. As a fan, I merely made a version of rox on DVD for the creators, we are now and have been working on making the set entirely available on DVD. Nice kid B! Matt, regarding your comment.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the matter in greater detail. My general take is that they serve the same purpose as those old "Shocking Truth about Beatnik Schoolgirls" kind of films... satisfying prurient interests in a moralistic guise. Of course, instead of showing girls dancing in their underwear, these contemporary TV programs instead lovingly linger on the details of people (usually women) being tortured and murdered. The ratings success of programs devoted to (for instance) luridly specific acts of sexual violence is evidence that we are indeed a nation of Abu Ghraib jailers. Cue "Videodrome"...

Basic cable in Blgtn carries both CATS and FSTV, so it's still on quite a bit. What would it take to get you all back here? I think that it's a safe bet that you all would never have to pay for a drink... How 'bout a reunion show at the old Second Story? You can write a couple of new "sketches," show a bunch of old ones, have some of your friends' old bands play... On a personal note, the day that I found out that J&B had moved away--long before I even arrived--was the day that any hope I had for Bloomington died... Just kidding. Surely it's changed, but it's not that bad. I have a feeling that there is a large, unorganized contingent of J&B on the Rocks fans in Bloomington.
