Junkin' is a show where I (Val Myers) travel to the south to meet up with my friend Dave Bird. We drive around in his El Camino (The General Flea) and go to flea markets and Yard Sales in the south. We buy "junk" hence the name, then we put the junk on ebay and see what happens. The people we meet are super interesting and the junk is endless in it's variety. Funny things happen, we meet funny people and we laugh at junk.
Originally the show was more or less a lifestyle show but it evolved into a cross between comedy and reality. It's rare to have an opporunity to work with a team in such a close way for such a long time. On top of that to have complete comedy freedom, and faith from the producer (Dave) and the Network. What came out of this I am really proud of. I don't think it's too bold to say that in our own little way we changed what TV is.
The future of Junkin' is uncertain (it's March 13th 2006) but whatever happens it's comforting that something that six people put a lot of love into (Dave Bird, Rod Howell, Scott Lingerfelt, Alyson Bird, Randy Liner, and me Val Myers) will be around in some way forever.
thanks to all the fans of Junkin' hopefully it's not over.
