It was funny and all, but its also funny how [pop]culture repeats itself. I mean the older I get the more this is true. Its like everything's retro all the time.

I recently re-watched season 1. Its interesting, that at the time, there was such an outrage over content. Its pretty tame now compared to whats on tv. I can only wonder how they will be in the new eps.

Season 1's on instant Netflix. The woodshop episode was actually pretty brutal, IMHO. I think the reason people flipped out the first time is that everybody feared they were a bad influence. I'd say time's proven them right.

I remember the "Frog Baseball" ep freaking out parents. But then again, I remember when Bart Simpson was the bad boy of tv. I've encountered more people recently that parents' restricted them from watching not only B&B but also The Simpsons. I dunno, maybe my parents saw it for what it was.

I think to point the finger at B&B as a source of inspiration for today's ills is a bit harsh, and short-sighted. By that reasoning, since Family Guy and other shows on now have pushed the envelope further, that means the next generation is going to be even worse. I can't subscribe to that theory. Media plays a part, but only a partial part.

The parents who complained about frog baseball sent their kids to bible summer camp where their 12 year old finger-banged other weirdo girls. At least that's how it was in my neighborhood.

Yeah, thats my point. If it doesn't come from one source, its coming from another. Hence, why you can't always throw a blame on media.

If they do, I wouldn't watch it. The best part of the show was the two of them sitting around ripping on the videos. I could watch that shit endlessly.

I always felt like the videos were the show. The plots were half-assed and didn't make a lot of sense.

The comments about the Live video are pretty hilarious.

The lack of videos on the dvd's is why I don't own some of them.

There's a fan-composed DVD set out there on torrent that includes ALL music videos, all episodes in chronological order, unedited, etc. One of my favorite current hobbies is getting high and poppin' that shit on.

'Beavis and Butt-head" -- the show that celebrated the slacker way of life and helped make MTV into a network that did more than just play music videos -- is coming back.

The move to resurrect the hugely popular 1990s animated anti-heroes has been rumored for several days. But yesterday, sources at MTV confirmed that a new batch of "Beavis and Butt-head" episodes are in the works.

The new series would keep Beavis and Butt-head in their perpetual high-school state, but it would be updated so that the pals -- who obsessively watch music videos on a battered TV set -- could lob their snarky comments at more current targets like Lady Gaga.

The show's minimalist animated style is also expected to remain intact.

The return of "Beavis and Butt-head" will be a backdoor means for MTV to return to showing music videos -- something the network was founded upon but abandoned in the last decade to make room for popular reality shows like "Laguna Beach," "The Hills" and "Jersey Shore."

"Beavis and Butt-head," which premiered in 1993, began as an animated short called "Frog Baseball," which aired on MTV's "Liquid Television."

The basic plotline revolved around two shorts-wearing, spectacularly immature teenage pals whose banter was delivered against the backbeat of their constant idiotic laughter.

Series creator Mike Judge, who's also creating the new episodes, voiced both characters.

The guys worked at a fast-food joint and were always out to "score" with "chicks" when they weren't sitting on a ratty couch watching music videos.

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.

Butt-head was the "cooler" of the two. He usually wore an AC/DC T-shirt and often picked on Beavis in much the same way Moe would slap around Curly, Larry and Shemp on "The Three Stooges."

The duo was so successful they were spun off into a 1996 big-screen movie, "Beavis and Butt-head Do America" and a marketing juggernaut of T-shirts and character trinkets.

A recurring character on the show, high-school classmate Daria (whom they called "Diarrhea"), eventually got her own MTV series.

After MTV canceled "Beavis and Butt-head" in 1997, Judge went on to create "King of the Hill" for Fox.

He also wrote the cult-classic movie comedy "Office Space" and last year's big-screen movie "Extract."

MTV officials had no comment yesterday.

Judge is "not commenting at this time," his publicist said.
