MTVs Beavis and Butt head return!




















When music was still made with actual music instruments and Justin Bieber wasnt born yet, MTV had one of the coolest animated shows: Beavis and Butt-head. Two slackers who would comment on everything and anything, mostly culminating to a supreme definition of two words that would say it all: this sucks!

Created by Mike Judge (who also directed the brilliant Office Space in 1999, which is still one of my favorite comedies) the show ran for 7 seasons from 1993 to 1997. Over those four years 200 Episodes were created and a feature film, Beavis and Butt-head do America, in 1996. Good to know: this show was mentioned during a U.S. Senate hearing in 1993 on violence on TV! (Althought Senator Ernest F. Hollings called the show Buffcoat and Beaver, which became a running gag on the show!) Judge, a UCSD graduate with a bachelor of science in physics said about the Beavis & Butt-head its my favorite thing that Ive ever done. Its the thing Im most proud of .

MTV president Van Toffler has said that the idea to bring Beavis and Butt-head back on the air came to him while he was watching a videoclip of Lady Gaga: I felt like there was a whole crop of new artists and what the world sorely missed was the point of view that only Beavis and Butt-Head could bring!

Last year MTV finally asked Judge to revive this amazing 90s show and create a whole new season. According to Judge 24 episodes (12 half-hour programs) will definitely air, the first episode, titled Holy Cornholio, premieres this week on October 27! Check out the trailer below and prepare to be time warped!
