"TV Casualty" is a frantic and melodic track that is a cornerstone of the Misfits' earliest, rawest work, originally recorded during the seminal Static Age sessions in 1978. Musically, it embodies the band's initial burst of energy, delivering fast, stripped-down punk rock with a noticeably darker edge compared to their peers. It features a relentless tempo and a straightforward chord progression, which perfectly frames Glenn Danzig’s distinctive, high-pitched vocal style. Lyrically, the song offers a commentary on alienation and media saturation, which sets it apart from the purely horror-themed tracks the band would soon be famous for. It describes a population that is blue-hued and detached, seemingly living their lives through the light of the television set, coining the memorable line, "We're all blue from a projection tube." Though originally unreleased until the 1985 compilation Legacy of Brutality (where Danzig controversially overdubbed the music himself), the song is now recognized as a vital part of the complete Static Age album, showcasing the Misfits’ ability to combine social observation with their emerging B-movie aesthetic.
