Despite my desperate attempts to look somewhat sophisticated by keeping my shirts pressed and my cuffs crisp, every once a while, an irresistible piece of geeky attire will throw off my entire wardrobe. Just take my beloved, ill-fitting "Plan 9 from Outer Space" shirt for example. Oh, Ed Wood, what is this power you have over me?

Now, here comes The Venture Bros. to make things extra-horrible for my wardrobe and my wallet. Fans have spent the last four years or so moaning about how there are barely any goodies for purchase, and the merch gods (in this case, aka Jackson Publick) have spoken just in time for the new season.

The designers who brought us the Colbert Has Stones t-shirt after Stephen Colbert's marvelous performance at the White House Correpondents Assoc. dinner, also have a couple of shirts for Lost fanatics. They're simple. One of them just has the numbers: 4 8 15 16 23 42. With #23 circled. Or, you can show your allegiance with the evil overlord Hanso Foundation with this t-shirt.

The company that designs the t-shirts is called Mule, and it's actually a web design company. They just happen to be really cool, too (Hey! They're also celebrating Festivus!) They also made a t-shirt and bumper sticker that says: George Bush Doesn't Care About Black People. It's quoting Kanye West, of course, from when he hijacked the Katrina telethon on NBC.

Yes, that's right -- today marks the first birthday of baby TV Squad! Wow, it seems like only yesterday. Actually, no it doesn't -- dang, it's only been a year?!

In honor of this momentious occasion, we want gifts, dangnabbit! We want you to create your own television network and list what currently existing shows you'd put on that network during prime-time (8pm - 11pm), Sunday through Saturday. The shows can be from any of the networks -- mix and match amongst them all. Make sure you choose a great name for your network, too.

Don't worry, we'll give you something in return. Comments to this post will close next Tuesday, March 14, at which time we will choose the best three lineups you've created. First prize will be a $200 gift certificate to Amazon.com, while 2nd and 3rd place will get one of our snazzy TV Squad T-Shirts.

So, what are you waiting for? Let's see what you've got!

Want to buy a t-shirt that'll be the ultimate in hip fashion for the next day or two? Go to Blue Collar Distro and buy a t-shirt based on the "Lazy Sunday" short that was on SNL two weeks ago and has been making its way around the Internet ever since. The sketch is getting so popular, that you can download it from iTunes for free and you can download animated avatars that have been made from stills of the sketch.  Of course, this will all look pretty dorky by March, but who cares?
