    Most of the people I know (especially my mum) hate Beavis and Butthead and that's fine lol. They just don't see the funny side of this duo. I grew up watching Beavis and Butthead so it has a special place for me. Their dumbness is unmatched and the best part is they don't even realise it! Beavis and Butthead are a true, iconic, animated staple of the 90's and if you want stupid, immature, animated slapstick comedy, look no further.... He hee he cool!

    Last year, MTV made an impressive move that put Beavis & Butthead back on the air with new episodes after 14 years. Many would think this vow of confidence would mean that the series would continue for some time. However, in great MTV fashion, not too many series live that long now-a-days if it doesn't revolve around stupidity or teen pregnancy. MTV cancelled Beavis and Butthead's companion program Good Vibes Friday morning after one season, but interestingly enough, the classic series' future may be in turmoil as well.Deadline reports that conversations about the show's future on the network are still ongoing, which may not mean the end of the revival just yet. However, it's not a clear indication whether or not MTV may want to continue.The show premiered to 3.3 million viewers, but it eventually dwindled down to 900,000 by the season's end. Granted, it has a very challenging timeslot on Thursday nights, being pitted against regular primetime programs on other networks, but those are quite sad numbers indeed.The conversations could in fact be for mutliple seasons, a la Futurama, but given the viewership, it's most likely that the network is trying to devise a proper strategy to bring back the duo in a much more successful form, whether it be a timeslot change, or a transition to the summer months may also be an option.We'll keep you updated on just what exactly will happen for the often laughing teenagers' future, whether it be cancelled or renewed, when information becomes available.But, what we want to know is from you: do you think Beavis and Butthead should be renewed? Could the less-than-successful run be due to the declining quality in programming from MTV forming a stereotype for the network (Jersey Shore,Teen Mom, etc.)? Is it simply an older generation not striking gold once more with the next gen? Or, have the fans of the series simply outgrown the humor?

    I don't like MTV. I never did. The very essence of this media monster is exploiting teenagers for enormous profits, making them dumb along the way. However, the story of "Beavis and Butt-Head" jumps a little bit out of the pattern.Back in the 90s when I was a teenager myself, watching "Beavis and Butt-Head" was kind of a standard ritual for all the kids who wanted to go with the flow. I've seen it quite some, and yet, the show never really got to me. The retarded behavior of two main protagonists, the unskilled drawing, bad jokes and the ever the present idiotic and irritating laughter just weren't enough to impress me. But something started to change, and along with growing up I began to see behind this deliberately sculptured facade of idiocy, thus discovering the real issues which hide behind the curtain. Let's be honest, "Beavis and Butt-Head" is nothing close to a deep literary substance or anything serious, but it delivers a message in a unique and ironic way. If the creators wanted to stress out the absurdity of modern life drenched in cheap entertainment, pornography and consumerism, they sure made a good job. Kids these days grow up with their heads plugged into simple entertaining pastimes, and it's no wonder when 16-year-olds can't perform a simplest task or have no knowledge of the written word. Maybe Beavis and Butt-Head looked like cartoon characters back in the 90's, but they sure look very real today, like true byproducts of a modern environment. That even makes it more ironic, since MTV has became a major promoter of such an environment, where people live only so they could spend, no matter how empty and pointless their lives may become.After seeing the last season, I actually started to like "Beavis and Butt-Head". Who knew...

    It must take a cartoon genius to make a show like this work as wonderfully as it does. This show is about two idiotic metal-head high schoolers who spend most of their time watching TV, with intervals of them getting into some kind of trouble. Butt-head is the smarter of the duo, but just barely. With characteristic trademarks and catchphrases, such as their recognizable laughs, this show is a cartoon classic, even though its animation isn't anything special.Beavis and Butt-head understand very little of the world that they find themselves stumbling around in. This is where most of the humor comes from, and usually it's very entertaining. Later episodes have Beavis and Butt-head give commentary to music videos, and like all of their commentary it usually involves "this sucks" or "this is cool." There are also a number of other, much more subtle sources of humor in the show. Though Mike Judge explicitly stated he tries to stay away from politics and other controversial subjects, you can still find him subtly poking fun at conservative talk show hosts or modern artists.I don't think this is a show you can watch a lot of in one sitting. It does get a little repetitive after a few episodes these two dimwits getting into the same idiotic predicaments. But if you're bored and willing to turn off your brain for a little bit, this is a perfect show. After 14 years of being off the air, this classic 90s show is coming back to television. If it ends up having the same originality and brain-cell-killing stupidity as before, but with updated references and current topics, all I can say is that I recommend it.
