The latest sign that ’90s nostalgia overload is just around the corner: MTV has announced the return of Beavis & Butthead. Well, to be fair, that honor was placed in the capable hands of the cast of Skins and Justin Bieber:
“Solid day in NYC,” Canadian pop sensation and “Never Say Never” star Justin Bieber tweeted Wednesday. “Played hoops and just went to the MTV Upfronts…BEAVIS and BUTTHEAD are coming back!!!”
Has Justin Bieber ever seen an episode of Beavis and Butthead? Does a new B&B mean MTV will start playing music videos again? In a post-South Park world doesn’t Beavis and Butthead seem kinda quaint? Will this be like that time Spike TV tried to bring Ren and Stimpy back? Does this mean Mike Judge is done with filmmaking?
So many questions!!
I’d just like them to show the fire episodes…
I have a feeling this will suck.
>Does this mean Mike Judge is done with filmmaking?
Having seen Judge’s last two movies, here’s hoping…
I’d much rather view a Ren and Stimpy return to the airwaves.

Ugh, Extract was godawful. I liked Idiocracy, though (with reservations).
@pdxbuckeye
Did you ever see SpikeTV’s Ren and Stimpy rehash? It was bad news.
WHEW! For a second there I thought we were completely out of new ideas. Oh…
Are Beavis and Butthead going to sit around their laptop and watch music videos on YouTube or something?!
Bring back Davey and Goliath!
I liked Idiocracy. It was a really great documentary.
I agree with the popular knock on MJ: he is great at concepts, and starting movies, but sucks at second and third acts.
As for B&B returning, this is really, really weird to me, but I look forward to what was so good it justified reincarnating the series.
Mr. Van Driessen! Daria! Daria’s spin-off show revisited??
Beavis and Butthead are now older and wiser running as tea party candidates.
I too enjoyed Idiocracy, even though I think it was one of the worst made movies in recent memory. One thing that stood out like a sore thumb was the need to have the narration explain what the film maker couldn’t convey with, um, film making.
There’s also this weird, almost Ayn Rand-ian subtext within all of Judge’s stuff that makes me wonder if he isn’t a closet Objectivist, not to mention that Idiocracy is one big Eugenics joke repeated over and over.
King of the Hill had some funny bits, though.
