    Loved the original show and movie and liked the 2011 season and will checkout anything else they do. But those original episodes are great. Have them all with the videos and watched a bunch last year. I hope I never reach the maturity level where I don't find them funny.

    As a music fan, the best part of the music video riffing was just how eclectic it got. They showed newer videos of course, but they also showed older stuff and extremely obscure stuff (old and new) that you never even knew existed.

    B&B was an interesting preview of what was to come from Judge; Idiocracy the masterpiece festering.

    I loved the original series and the movie as well. Beavis and Butthead might have seemed like lowest common denominator entertainment on the surface but it really was a well-written and paced show where the animated segments and the video commentaries fit together perfectly. That's why we are still talking about almost 30 years later.

    I had been avoiding the show when it first aired since it was obviously stupid and had lots of crude humor, then I watched a few episodes and found out that it had some really clever humor and great writing. When writers aren't obligated to treat their characters as humans, that opens up a lot of possibilities kind of like what happened to Wilie E. Coyote over and over. Many episodes had a twist at the end that I didn't expect.

    I liked the reboot especially the Twilight episode.

    Never saw the films, but generally liked watching short bits of the show.

    When I was working in radio I used to use the B&B theme as bumper music. I love that music!

    By 2011, MTV no longer had music videos for them to watch. Which explains why I've watched no MTV in a very long time.

    No one was watching MTV for the videos anyway.

  13. When MTV is no longer showing music videos, how is one supposed to watch music videos on MTV?

    They were watching The video for Black Sabbath Paranoid”Whoa look at the Paul Shaffer dude on the wall”
    It was goofy because you might have known people like B & B back in the day.

    When there were music videos on MTV, no one was watching them. MTV's ratings were sinking every year because record labels were no longer spending the money to make videos that people wanted to watch more than once or twice. MTV was sick of being entirely dependent on the record industry for their content so they began making their own. That was a wise move because it saved the network and made it profitable again. Now with the Internet the idea of millions of people watching music videos on a cable network is laughable.

    The 2011 reboot had music videos; it’s just that the TV-watching segments were no longer exclusively music videos:

    Makes sense. When MTV Classic debuted (whatever it used to be VH1 Classic or something) I was pretty excited about seeing some music videos again. For about 10 minutes. It's buried on channel 188 and isn't HD. When I watched it there were too many commercials, it wasn't HD and I could watch whatever videos I wanted on YouTube.

    If you watch hundreds of the videos from the 80's on YouTube (I had lots of extra time during lockdown) you can easily see the trend. Until around 1984 lots of videos had scripts resembling stories and plots with actors doing things that kept viewers interested.

    The recording industry hit a recession in 1985 and the first thing they cut was promotions. Suddenly almost all of the bands were doing cheaper stylized performance videos which was really just the artists singing into panning cameras on weird sets with dramatic lighting. Did you really want to watch a band perform a song over and over? Very few people did. You can also see a trend for cute and cheap CGI that was probably done on an Amiga.

    The videos did improve in the late 80's but by then MTV's ratings had already dropped to where the network had to do something to stay alive and their main objective was to stop relying on the record labels for content.

    Absolutely do not care for it. That said, Mike Judge deserves all the praise he's gotten for it, he's really clever, and he's brought us some great social commentary we might not have gotten otherwise.

    Image in my previous post was nullified. Here's a similar one that hopefully sticks:

    The hit 1990s MTV animated characters Beavis and Butt-Head will be returning this year with a new movie "and more" on the Paramount+ streaming service.

    The news was broken by the show's creator Matt Judge in a tweet that he posted on Tuesday (January 4th) night. He shared a photo of middle-aged versions of the characters and said:

    "Beavis and Butt-Head will be returning this year with a brand new movie and more on Paramount+. No exact date yet, but soon. They need some time to get back in shape."
