MTV’s ‘Beavis And Butt-Head’ Returning This Summer

(HMG Celebrity News) – As we have reported previously the MTV animated television series created by Mike Judge, Beavis and Butt-head, is coming back after a 13-year hiatus. MTV has officially announced the show will air this summer. Judge, who went on to write and direct films like Office Space, will return to direct the new episodes of the show about two socially inept rock-loving teenage boys, Beavis and Butt-head (both voiced by Judge), who are roommates and live in the fictional town of Highland. While Butt-head dressed in his AC/DC T-shirt was the “cooler” of the two, Beavis, the blond half, usually wore a Metallica T-shirt and would morph into his crazed, gibberish-spewing alter-ego, “Cornholio,” when he ingested too much sugar. Mixed within each old episode were segments in which Beavis and Butt-head watch music videos and provided humorous and bizarre commentary, improvised by Judge. Apparently, in their return to TV, Beavis and Butt-head have not aged since 1997, and they’ll still be in high school, though the music videos they watch will be updated. After the 1996 big-screen movie, “Beavis and Butt-head Do America,” MTV canceled the show in 1997, and Judge went on to create “King of the Hill” for Fox. Will a new generation of kids watch these guys?
