Title: They're Back! Beavis and Butt-head returns to MTV, new episodes.
Post by: HappyGilmore on July 27, 2010, 09:25:33 PM
New York Post article about the return.
http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/tv/they_re_back_PZVN8lcKHQYVIYx3xAJRtM

After 13 years of being away, and with a slight resurgence in popularity due to dvd sales and brief appearances at the MTV Awards and on Jackass, MTV has decided to re-team with Mike Judge to produce new episodes of Beavis and Butt-head.  It's also a backdoor way for them to return to showing at least some music videos, in the form of the boys making fun of them.

Dunno why, but it makes me happy.

Ah brings me back to I think junior year in high school, the show would always be on at 6:00 AM before school and I'd catch it. I could care less about the little stories in between but loved how they ragged on the videos.  I was actually first in line to see the movie.  A fact I don't whether to be proud or ashamed of.  I'll have to catch some of the new episodes.

Here's an interesting take on the situation

http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/teamt/dw/sn/26723-return-of-beavis-and-butthead

Personally, I'm ambivalent as to whether this is a good idea but I'd watch new episodes, just don't get MTV

Last I heard, an EXACT date hasn't been set.  However, negotiations happened earlier this year, and it was confirmed in June that Mike Judge and many of the writers would be returning and that it's gonna be the traditional hand drawn style of animation.  

From what I've read, the people at MTV are hoping to clear some room for a late spring/early summer set of shows.  So, if all goes well, it should be on in April/May.

Knowing MTV, they'd probably show a set of reruns and specials in anticipation of the re-launch, so if you start seeing a bunch of old stuff in the near future, that's why.

Aw f it then!  By that time I'll be too old to care.

I'm so impatient.

I heard the news and wanted it on immediately.

But considering the other s**t MTV has on, I can wait for Beavis and Butt-head.  It'll be a vast improvement.

And now that Ed, Edd, n' Eddy is over, Danny Antonucci needs to jump on this band wagon and bring back "The Brother's Grunt"!

They already tried bringing back Celebrity Deathmatch, but it ended up being sadly lackluster. I think it deserves another shot just so we can see Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Kesha rip each other's fake vocal chords out.

I remember one of the first videos that Beavis and Butthead ripped on was Grim Reaper's See You In Hell.  I remember Beavis yelling "stop in the name of all that does not suck!" when Steve Grimmett held the song's closing note for like 30 seconds.

I was never a Grim Reaper fan, but Steve Grimmett had an incredible voice, that's for sure.

One would argue that Celebrity Deathmatch was never all that great to begin with.  But yeah, I was disappointed when they brought it back, as I wanted it to be good.

I was really into for awhile, at least when Marilyn Manson was on it and crushed the Spice Girls and the Hanson Bros.... Funny thing about that is I grew to enjoy the latter's music (for comedy and nostalgic purposes, I assure you) more than the former's, who, in my opinion, imploded in on himself. I was young and senseless violence was funny. Okay, it's still funny, but I do see your point, I just hate Lady Gaga.

Same here...that incessant and constant laughing B&B would always do seemed to be what they resorted to when the story had nothing else to offer, and it DID make you want to take a Remington .870 00 to your TV.

I liked Deathmatch, I can't deny that.  It's funny for what it was.  But it's not a great show.  I like wrestling and that's not 'great' either.  The initial first few years were fine.  I even bought that stupid video game they had.  It just wasn't a well written show outside of some of the commentary.  I liked the Al Gore/Weird Al fight. :bouncegiggle:

Fingers crossed for a Daria comeback...

I dont think it'll come back, but they FINALLY released the dvd after years of waiting.  It occasionally comes on the Logo channel.

I just hope that MTV doesn't stick their noses too much into it.  When B&B was first on, MTV wasn't too bad, but now I could really see them wanting to do a crossover episode called Beavis & Butthead & Snooki.  Although, maybe that would be a good thing because Beavis and Butthead could finally be the smartest ones in the room!

I'm gonna have to check this out. When I was little I had to sneak to watch it, which made it even more fun :)   

I always thought Mike Judge was kind of embarrassed of B&B and tried his hardest to distance himself from the show.

Never happen.  The show ended pretty well, with a definitive ending.  The creative team was done with the show.  I think it's best left alone.

Yes, that was an interesting night to say the least.  We ended up looking what other everyday names and celebrities were something.  Let's just say Bill Cosby has some definitions I wouldn't want to know about on Urban Dictionary.

I'm not generally a fan of revivals, much like my attitude toward movie remakes.

This one, however, I am all for.

One thing I like about this revival, is it brings back a lot of the original crew.  It's not just some network throwing new people into it.

And, MTV is giving Mike Judge more ownership stake.  Originally he only had like, 10% ownership and MTV got all the rewards.  And, he said they weren't doing as much.  Last run they did 70 episodes a year and got burnt out.  Now they'll do something like 15-20 and take breaks.

It's gonna be a mix.  There'll be metal videos, but also rap, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, etc.

They'll also throw in clips of ACTUAL tv shows, like Jersey Shore and UFC, so they can make fun of that stuff too.

Beavis and Butt-head was just as good, if not BETTER than I'd hoped for.  They really laid into Twilight and Jersey Shore.  Well worth the 14 year wait.

I have to agree it was much better then I was expecting.  I thought that keeping their relevance would be a problem but I think the laughing at the reality form they chose as well as videos will help keep it from being a simple bump in the road.  It seems to still connect and that is what I think will hold it over.

On another note, about Daria...  I bought the box set and watched the entire run in order (I had seen like 3/4s of the episodes, but in random order caught in repeats).  It actually has a pretty good development, and something of a story arc eventually.  I feel the Daria storyline is fairly played out (considering the lead character, the resolution is pretty solid), though I wouldn't mind another movie I suppose with her as an adult in the modern world. 

One thing about that possibility that is pretty interesting, is if the one episode that has a flash forward (of sorts) is to be believed, Daria ends up pretty good looking in later life (of course, it was always more her fashion choices that had her drawn unattractively anyway).

(http://www.dariawiki.org/wiki/images/7/76/Daria20s.jpg)

So basically...  Another movie I'd say maybe to, but I think more episodes of the series wouldn't make any sense.

A note about Daria though: I love the show, but it didn't really have Judge's involvement. He sold the rights to the characters prior to the show being a hit, so MTV just spun it off, and he was only credited as creator of that character. He did say that he was friendly with the staff there but felt it wasn't needed.

Myself, I liked the show and second the idea of a new tv-movie.

The new episodes are great so far.  They have definitely brought it back the right way.  The show hasn't changed a bit (aside from them now making fun of "reality" TV in addition to the lame music).
