First Futurama, now Beavis and Butthead ... is the 90s revival in full swing yet?

 

[Nerys Myk]

Music on MTV? Is that even possible?

 

[FreezeC77]

One of the things that made Beavis & Butthead ripping on music videos funny was that you actually had seen the funny before. I honestly don't know the last time I saw a music video I didn't have to track down a youtube link to watch.

Really... This is interesting and cool news.

I'm getting a wedge and going shopping for Docs.

I love MTV's animated output from the 90s; it really showed the funny and creative side that the channel that was abandoned completely at the turn of the Millennium. Maybe a B&B revivial will kick off some interesting new projects..... or maybe it'll just fizzle like the Ren and Stimpy revivial.

I'm hoping for the former. TV has really been dead since 2000.

Disagree. Television went in a new direction for sure, but lots of us think television realized it's storytelling potential this past decade. I can't help but think that anyone who doesn't like at least a few shows from 2000 on isn't watching enough stuff.

I loved Dexter, Life on Mars (And Ashes), 24, Firefly.....It was a great period for television.

As for this return of Beavis and Butthead, why not? I was happy with the show and characters long gone, but wouldn't be opposed to seeing them again. It was funny.

You listed two good shows canceled before the end of their first season, one show from pay cable, and one which while a success I didn't care for because it never really went anywhere. It was an interesting concept, and it's first season was ok, but like a lot of other shows on TV now it just took itself too damn seriously.

I will admit that like everything in life there is no here or there in this case. As you mention there has been some diamonds in the mud. USA, FX, HBO, and Showtime were really the saving graces for tv this past decade, and have set the example and bar for the rest to live up to, both network and cable.

 

[Nowhere Man]

Butthead:Uh, Huh,huh cool.
Beavis: Yeah,Yeah Cool
Butthead: Shut up Beavis. Huh,huh.

"I AM CORNHOLIO!!!"

 

[EnsignRicky]

Wow!! Mike Judge blew through all that King Of The Hill money already?

 

[Jack Bauer]

I'm so shocked I may have a heart attack.

They already have two fairly new shows in Warren the Ape and The Hard Times of RJ Berger that are actually really good, so it's nice to see that they are going to continue the trend of creating programming that actually requires a shred of creativity. They need take every episode of The Real World, The Hills, and Jersey Shore (along with every other pile of shit show they've aired over the last 10-20 years) and run them through a shredder and forget they ever happened. I know I will.

MTV pretty much started this whole "reality show" nightmare, so maybe this is a sign that the trend will finally and mercifully be heading towards its long overdue conclusion.

 

[barnaclelapse]

This makes me happy.

 

[Captaindemotion]

I want to sing a heavy metal riff in tribute.

Actually, Fox started the reality show nightmare. They were the ones put COPS on during the 1988 Writers Guild strike. As the show had no script and no narration, it was completely unaffected by the strike. It was the first network reality show.

Sometimes B&B are on in a block in the wee hours on MTV2, so I'm glad to see it get a proper return. I've been watching on my Roku box recently. I do agree the adult animation in the 90s is better than a lot that's on now.

Yes we seem to have creative spurts of great story and writing, but it does only seem to last a season or two or get prematurely canceled. And why? Because reality crap is cheaper. Maybe MTV realized it can't rerun The Hills constantly? A lot of similar stupid animation followed Beavis and Butthead, but now this teen reality stupidity just has to go.

And music videos! how about that?! It frustrates me to know end how VH1 Classic cuts off the beginning and ending of videos, like the way radio used to fade a song out way too soon or talk over it. And they don't usually show anything before 1985 anyway! But a 90s revival? Weren't we just there? Did I ever really leave there? How long will it be before we get 'I Love the 2010s!'? 2015, we need the halfway mark.

 

[Roshi]

I want to see/hear Beavis and Butt-head's comment on Nu-nuMetal.

 

[Captaindemotion]

Given how much raunchier music videos have gotten since B&B's heyday, I hope their filthy little minds can take it all.
