    Default Beavis And Butthead Returning To Television

    Fuck ya, Mike Judge is bringing them back and doing the series again.

    http://screenrant.com/beavis-butthea...1-mcrid-99475/

    Last year, MTV announced the return of their iconic, and moronic, duo ‘Beavis and Butt-Head.’ Now the network has a announced a rough premiere date for the show.



    MTV’s original bad boys are returning to television in the summer of 2011.

    The network announced the revival of Mike Judge’s iconic cartoon Beavis and Butt-head at an upfront meeting for the US version of Skins.

    Beavis and Butt-head was one of several 90s era cartoons that drew both applause and controversy for raunchy language and themes. The series ran from 1993-1997, and the titular characters became pop culture icons by the time Beavis and Butt-head Do America hit theaters in 1996. Mike Judge, who would go on to make King of the Hill and cult classics Office Space and Idiocracy, created the series and voiced both main characters.
    The new Beavis and Butt-Head episodes will be nothing short of a direct continuation of the original series. Decidedly not a reboot or remake, the show will return with Judge at the helm and behind the microphone. The show’s simple animation will also come back, providing stark contrast to more modern adult cartoons – even The Simpsons has transitioned to computer-based programs for its animation. MTV has been promoting reruns and merchandise for the classic episodes, including a new web portal and iPhone app.

    The news was broken by none other than the cast of fellow MTV show Skins during the show’s Wednesday upfront. If you don’t know, an upfront is a meeting where potential advertisers have the option of buying sponsorships and commercial blocks for a television show. The story was confirmed on MTV’s official blog, though no further information has been made available.



    While fans of the original series will no doubt be ecstatic about its return, the television world of 2011 is very different from that of 1997. The boundaries of raunchy behavior have been pushed and broken, especially on cable networks. Prime among these contemporary challengers is South Park on rival network Comedy Central. South Park premiered just before Beavis and Butt-Head aired its last episode in 1997, and has run continuously ever since. The series has gained critical acclaim and vitriol from conservative, family, and religious groups – not unlike Beavis and Butt-Head.

    Even network shows like Family Guy have pushed the boundaries of censorship in recent years and newcomers such as Bob’s Burgers, Ugly Americans, and Archer show no sign of reversing the trend. As a result, one has to wonder how Beavis and Butt-Head‘s formerly shocking antics will play with modern audiences.

    Beavis and Butt-Head return to MTV in the summer 2011.

    I just saw the report that James Rolfe did on SpikeTV at Comic Con. Haven't heard about it before now.

    I want this to succeed, I really do, but I foresee it getting canceled before the year is out.

    That would suck. Beavis' shirt would probably say LOLCATZ.

    I wonder how many videos they're going to watch. I recall Mike Judge's commentary on "Beavis and Butthead do America" when he mentioned that he preferred doing the animated segments to the music videos, which would help explain why many of the episodes in Season 7 (last season of the original run) had fewer (if any) music videos. For the longest time I had been assuming that the music video segments existed because of laziness (music videos = less work for the animators)

    There's that King Turd torrent out there that has every single episode of the series uncut/uncensored. Finally got to see many of the "fire" scenes that never aired in Canada.

    I think it was to follow some rules of what was allowed to air on MTV or MuchMusic. I assumed all shows had to have a certain amount of musical content to be on those stations.

    Oh yes, I recall that now -- Judge made mention of such requirements, at least in the early seasons.

    I didn't appreciate their music video commentary back in the 90s nearly as much as I do now (my original VHS tapes have the music videos scenes all edited out). That's what makes the King Turd collection so great -- every episode (animated story + music videos) are fully intact...

    Ditto. The Netflix versions have no music videos in them neither. I have both the original VHS tapes, as well as the super rare laserdisc version as well.

    I was hoping it'd be a collector's item one day, but I still see the LD versions sell for $4.

    Says here that October 27th is the return date for Beavis and Butt-head (assuming of course that the "Mike Judge" who created the event is in fact, THE Mike Judge).

    I actually tried listening to this song in full on Youtube and I couldn't get through it all (it's truly wretched)


    Nice to see that Sam Harris is good natured about the criticism he got here (B&B were really rough on him )
