This Is Going to Be Cool
?Mike Judge is going to make — probably — new Beavis and Butthead episodes. From the Examiner:
REVIEWniverse has exclusively learned from
an anonymous source that Mike Judge is currently outlining 30 new
episodes of his iconic animated comedy Beavis and Butt-Head for
its native network.The source conceded
that plans for actual broadcast are not yet cemented, or even a given,
but confirmed that the King of the Hill/Office Space/Idiocracy
maestro is definitely in the midst of writing new B and B material
with the hopes of a full-throttle return.Even better news for fans is that, should this come to pass,
Judge plans on retaining the show’s original ghetto-tech aesthetic,
right down to the faded color palatte. The source also reveals that the Extract
director intends on keeping B and B‘s format identical to
its original sketch-videos-sketch incarnation, but with more
contemporary music clips for the cartoon slacker-duo to skewer.And of course, this being the viral age, Judge
could always just unveil the finished installments on his own website
or through a high-profile online partner should MTV be crazy enough to
hesitate making room in its primetime schedule.
I sincerely doubt even MTV is that crazy. And god help me, in a post-Twilight world, we need Beavis, Butthead, and even the Great Cornholio more than ever.
