The initial concept of Tandem Bike Cops was brought to MediaBoss, by Funny It Up Productions, a comedy group based in Framingham.

The Web series Tandem Bike Cops produced by Framingham-based MediaBoss Television, took home two LA Web Fest awards Saturday in the highly contested, comedy category this weekend.

Tandem Bike Cops follows the crime fighting antics of two rookie officers in a police department with no budget, set in a fictitious western Massachusetts town called Boone.

Actor/Comedian/Radio Host, Chris Zito was awarded ‘Outstanding Supporting Actor’ for his role as Lt. Lou Tenant and Actress/Model Rachel Seeker was awarded ‘Outstanding Supporting Actress’ for her role as Investigator Rachel Foxxx. Rachel and Chris perform dramatically in a series of very ‘over the top’ comedy scenes.
