Well, now that King of the Hill has ended its run and The Goode Family wasn’t all that, Mike Judge seems to have a little extra time on his hands. Although nothing has been confirmed, Judge is rumored to be working on 30 new episodes of Beavis and Butt-head to run on MTV. Judge is said to be retaining the original format. The characters won’t have aged in the intervening time since B&B originally went off the air and Judge plans to stick to the format of sketch-music video-sketch with B&B making snide remarks about more current videos. [RUMOR DU JOUR: BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD DO COMEBACK?](http://chud.com/articles/articles/24345/1/RUMOR-DU-JOUR-BEAVIS-AND-BUTTHEAD-DO-COMEBACK/Page1.html) I hope this comes to pass. I loved that show and hope enough time has passed that Judge can make it fresh again. - chants melody to Iron Man. ---

I was able to grab a lot of full episodes off bit torrent about 5 years ago. It took a long time to get them but I finally sat down one night to watch them… And was _overjoyed_ that they still were just as hilarious to me as they were when I was in high school. Thankfully, I’ve avoided the DVD collections because I hear the show sucks without the video clips. So I’ve never gotten a sour taste from B&B. I hope this is true and new episodes really do come out. I think everyone who enjoyed B&B as a teen will enjoy a new run. ---

That would be awesome if true. I discovered Black Sabbath and White/Rob Zombie through that show. ---

Yes, but can they still convincingly play teenagers after all these years? Make-up and SFX can only go so far. ---

Tosh.0 already does that, and that man is hilarious. 😃 I have all the volumes of B&B: the Mike Judge Collection on DVD. In an interview in the third volume, Judge said he had previously considered making a spinoff series with the two of them. He said something to the effect of “I can’t picture them as twenty somethings hanging out with college kids, but like, forty year old guys that have never done anything with their lives and still spend all day listening to heavy metal? Yeah, I can picture that as a series.” ---

I’d love to see what B&B think of a Lady Gaga video. They wouldn’t know whether to be freaked out or turned on by it. I think this is a great idea. It’s the only way to get MTV to actually show some videos again. Hopefully the music rights will be worked out in advance so this can actually end up on DVD and be worth buying. ---

I’ve been watching some (really kinda bad quality) original episodes with the videos intact (unlike those DVD collection abortions) and having a blast, but a big chunk of that is nostalgia, because I was just the right age for the show when it came on. I don’t know how a revival would go, but it’s good to hear he plans to the keep the video format. Without the videos, there’s not that much to the original eps. The videos were the best part of the original (Cornholio notwithstanding). ---
