This Texas-set sitcom is comedy genius that is very well-written. Two idiotic 15-year-old best friends go on various adventures, often involving destroying things and trying to get hot girls. The only reason that I've not given it a 10 is that the animation in early episodes is very basic.

In the 90's MTV had an identity little cable networks can match. They appealed to the youth with its terrific shows like "TRL: Total Request Live" and "Yo! MTV Raps." Even when it first introduced the reality television phenomenon it's mostly known for now, it held its creative and enlightening manner with the beginning seasons of "The Real World," "Making the Video," and even "The Grind" had mass appeal. All these shows centered on the theme which the network has lost focus of in the last ten years or so, MUSIC. Go figure. It's Music Television and they hardly show it any longer. One of the best things on MTV in the 1990's was Mike Judge's very controversial yet hilariously funny "Beavis and Butt-head." These two whimsical, giggling teenagers got themselves in many situations with the goal of "scoring" in my mind. When not trying to pick up the ladies, they sat around their house watching music videos and offering up hysterical commentary. The decision to reignite the series after its end in 1997 was probably one of the best decisions MTV has had for itself in years. A breath of fresh air has been brought back to the network encompassing the same great humor it had before but holding nothing back. The first four episodes have poked fun of teen series sensation Twilight with Beavis and Butt-head trying to become members of an undead cult in order to get girls, "Teen Mom," Katy Perry, and the Jersey Shore crew. Its MTV's answer to great adult animated cartoons like South Park and Family Guy but will not crash and burn like Ren & Stimpy did during their "call backs." I expect great things from this and for it to succeed. Catch the hilarious duo on Thursday nights at 10:00pm on MTV!

I still remember when I started watching this show. I was 9 years old. You know, the pre-teen confusion era.Adjectives such as b***hole, ass muncher, dumbass, etc. were like music for my ears. Such words were irreverent but somehow fit perfect with the vibe of the show.The humor is black 100% and relies much on vulgarity, zero morality, offensive slurs, but it displays a real side of high school.The adventures of our favorite duo were always extreme on conduct aspects but I truly enjoyed their point of view towards music videos. That was the backbone of the show. The funny dialogs between B&B were the soul of the show.I miss irreverent cartoons like these one. It perfectly displays the obscurity in the early 90's humor.

Mike Judge made many gems like King Of The Hill and Office Space. But way before any of those were released, he made his greatest gem of all time, Beavis And Butthead. The story of two boys around 18 or 19 who still can't pass high school whose lives are pointless is hilarious without being over the top, or ludicrous. Considering it is about two of the dumbest people alive, it's an extremely smart show. I like the fact that these guys are so care-free they don't care about their well-being. For example, they live in a dump of a house, and whenever one get hurts the one who's not hurt starts laughing, and then the one who's hurt starts laughing, too. They don't care if they never finish high school. Their only goal is to have sex before they die. That's what makes them strangely delightful. This is one of the best shows that the 90's created. It is genuinely funny and very smart, but not too outrageous, and rather than being unlikable (which you think they would be), the two characters are strangely delightful. A truly great show I think you should check out.
