A Brief History of ROX

We started making ROX back in the summer of 1992, on the cable access television station in Bloomington, Indiana. Originally we called the show J&B on the ROX, after the two hosts J and B. Sometimes people still call it that. It's OK, we don't mind.

In April of 1994, we got some national media attention when we smoked pot on television. That little stunt got us on the Howard Stern Show and MTV, not to mention all the network affiliates in Indianapolis and radio stations across the country.

We became the first TV series on the Internet in May of 1995. Almost immediately thereafter, we ceased production for seven years.

In 2002 we started back into production, and began grappling with the challenges of creating cross-country TV on a shoestring. J now lives in Missoula, Montana; B lives in New Orleans.

A hand-delivered note from "An Anonymous Westside Crank." This was only our second piece of viewer mail that we'd ever received, and the first that was negative. Many more (of both categories) would follow, but the crayon artwork here indicates the general mental level of our correspondents. We never did find out who wrote this!

This guy from California doesn't drink anymore, but he did say that menudo is a hangover cure that "really works."
