The Return of Beavis and Butthead?
Fans who fondly remember "Frog Baseball" and still pull their shirts over their heads to break out a rendition of "The Great Cornholio" may have reason to rejoice. It seems that news is circulating that MTV plans to revive one of its most popular franchises in Beavis and Butt-Head. According to Examiner's REVIEWniverse, an anonymous source has revealed that creator Mike Judge has 30 new episodes in the works which will be set for a return on its native MTV. While the deal is not yet set in stone and reports also indicate that the return of the animated icons has yet to be greenlit, Judge's efforts may be an indicator that things will likely move forward.
According to the report, the updated series would apparently hold true to the original in that Judge plans to maintain the scraggly, "ghetto-tech aesthetic" of the original series. Additionally, the format of giving music videos the old "Mystery Science Theater 3000" treatment of voice-over commentary would also remain, except with up-to-date videos, obviously. (Beavis and Butt-Head commentating on Lady Gaga videos? That's got to be worth something.) Spun-off from the 1991 animation showcase/anthology series Liquid Television, Beavis and Butt-Head would air from 1993-1997. At the height of its popularity, it even spawned the theatrically-released film Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, which topped the box-office in its debut weekend, going on to gross over $63 million in 1996. The animated duo represented for many, the embodiment of society's imminent intellectual downfall, and for others, a guilty pleasure that contained nuggets of clever commentary on culture and Americana. For MTV, the show's success was an important landmark in its complete transition from the network that played music videos into the broader, youth-catered programming full of teen dramas and scripted "reality" shows it would eventually become. It's been a long time since the 90's iconic bumbling duo have shined in the spotlight and it's difficult to tell if they would show their age if revived in today's setting. How would Beavis and Butthead's rural, mundane, but trouble-filled lives hold up in a much faster culture filled with a dominant Internet, smart phones, and social networks? Would fans welcome the return of Beavis and Butt-Head? Or would a revival be perceived as milking a franchise well past its age?

The potential to make fun of so many things that the world has evolved into with social media and cell/texting. lol |

the last reboot was awesome, always thought it was a shame that it didn't last long on that waste of space that is now MTV. CC will definitely be a better fit for it.

The only reason it isn't on MTV is because it wasn't named Beavis and Rob Dyrdek.

Man I liked this show so much back in the day....I wasn't a fan of the dvds that got released because they cut stuff and picked the episodes so it wasn't complete...
I compiled every single season of Beavis and Butthead complete and then made a 3 disc set I burned and made labels for myself. The set is still on my PC so I can play it digitally or through disc... |

Good.
Question...so I guess there won't be clips in between of them trashing on music videos? When's the last time anyone's seen a music video and are they still being made at all? |

I still have so many one liners that I remember that crack me up.
there was one Pantera video they were watching, and commenting how the lead singer was angry etc; and probably had a really bad father. Then they starting imitating what they though his father was like, and Butt Head was like "...yeah, his Dad is probably like...'Damnit Pantera'" as if the singer's name is Pantera and the video of "Take On Me" by A-Ha; Butt Head goes "Hey Beavis...this bands name is "Uh Huh (in a Butt Head voice)"....uh huh huhuhu uh huhuh " lol |
