REVIEWniverse reportedly has an exclusive stating that Mike Judge is working on 30 new episodes of Beavis and Butthead
to run on MTV. Their source is that cautionary guy,
Anonymous, who seems to get around quite a bit. But they go
on to say: The source conceded that plans for actual broadcast are not yet cemented, or even a given, but confirmed that the King of the Hill/Office Space/Idiocracy maestro is definitely in the midst of writing new B and B material with the hopes of a full-throttle return. Even better news for fans is that, should this come to pass, Judge
plans on retaining the show’s original ghetto-tech aesthetic, right
down to the faded color palatte. The source also reveals that the Extract director intends on keeping B and B‘s
format identical to its original sketch-videos-sketch incarnation, but
with more contemporary music clips for the cartoon slacker-duo to
skewer.
Assuming there’s anything legit to this, awesome. I’ve missed these guys for years and it would be nice to see them again in new adventures. It’s about the only reason for which I can possibly imagine dusting off MTV, that’s for sure. As always, take with a salt lick until this gets more concrete, if at all.

Getto-tech aethetic… He said "ass".
I just hope, if this happens, that the opening joke on the show will be about how there are no videos on MTV anymore…. I'm not even sure a generation that has spent an entire decade posting their listless and vapid thoughts to each other and posing in the mirror to get a better shot of their clevage can truly appreciate the humor of sitting in front of the tv and making fun of videos. I welcome the return of B and B, but I would also love to see a channel created where videos are shown in much greater abundance and variety.
I live for this shit!
I love B and B. But I don't see how the show in it's old format can be relevant in this day and age. They'd have to change it to B and B watching YouTube clips instead of MTV. But that would be kind of stupid. I'd rather just let the show exist in it's own time.
hell. yes.
Younger folks don't get B and B. People over 30 love them, and me, being the old fart I am, love them too. Bring them on!
der der derderder duh duh duh duh duh derderder.
Crowing Moment of Awesome: Getting my mom to stay up and record a Beavis and Butthead marathon while I was at a friend's house that didn't have cable. Her favorites are the Tire episode and the steam roller episode. She actually saw the movie with us.
It should be on youtube and they should be commenting on music vidoes there, since youtube is the only place you see music videos anymore.
FROG BASEBALL!
