dredg - The Thought of Losing You [Video]

a bunch of photos and things here

maybe it'll show up on Beavis? lol, yeah right. I'll have to try and watch+listen later tonight.

Beavis is back TONIGHT (10/27)

Just a heads up for anyone who may have forgot. My favorite animated show of all-time is back after nearly 2 decades this evening on eMpTyV.

I am seeing an advanced screening of the Eddie Murphy comedy Tower Heist at that big Mall in Bloomington, but thanks to DVR, I shall be able to catch the return-premiere episode when I get home.

so yeah, can you like shut up or something.

all he needs to do now is just get fat.

He gave his heart and soul to some chic
Whoa, that must have been like 50 llbs of meat.

Imagine if he died, how much crap would fly out of Godzilla's butt.

These are like, really good balls.
And they fit right in the hole.

Gimme the pork-grinds, now!

This used to be a cool station before they put these dorks on.

Get More: Beavis and Butt-Head, MTV Shows

story

Confirming reports that first surfaced last summer, MTV announced today that Beavis and Butt-head is returning with new episodes. Mike Judge is back as the main creative force, and of course, the voice of the title characters, who were last seen in a cameo in Jackass 3D.

EW.com reports that MTV made the announcement at their Upfront presentation in New York today. The network hasn't revealed yet when the new episodes will debut.

Wow. I have about a "bazillion" (as they say on the show) thoughts, or potential thoughts about this. Let's see how much I can cover here.

a) This is one of my favorite television shows or any kind of humor/entertainment of any kind to exist. So, for that fact, this is a REALLY big deal.

b) I have often wondered what the show would be like now. Technology, the internet, cellphones, ipods, I mean in the 14 years since it went off the air, a lot has changed. Technology, the music industry, reality shows. There's a WEALTH of pop-culture resources to use in an updated version of the show, now in 2011.

c) Could this hurt or taint the legacy of the show? I would hope not, but part of me is a little worried about this.

d) Is this a sign of desperation on Mike Judge's part? I would hope not, but part of me can't avoid asking that question. Why now? the economy? lack of success/jobs for his other work?

e) I have never, I don't believe, had something this significant in terms of my entertainment interests, return like this. TV movies/specials, or even feature films I suppose. But it's a bit like if Cheers came back now. Or in a looser sense, for people who loved the original Star Trek, when The Next Generation and Deep Space 9 came in. Or Galactica more recently.

e2) and along those lines. Could this taint the originals legacy? As long as they have Mike Judge doing most of the work he did on the original, I have hope. Although, part of me wonders if Judge himself will be able to hit on as many cylinders now, so many years later, like he did with the original show. I mean look at The Simpsons now? case in point.

So, those points all in mind, to say this is something that I'm excited about would be true. This almost feels like in 2006-2009 anticipation and then realization of the Soundscape album coming out. Huge levels of nostalgia. I think the nostalgia factor may allow this to work, at least to a point, no matter how good or not-as-good it actually is.

Hehe.

Now, maybe a Deep Space 9 movie/mini-series/reunion will happen too. That actually might top this for me, if that's possible. Or Freaks and Geeks as well.

Daria - the tv show

I have seen this show. I love Beavis and Butthead, but often felt this show was just a 2nd or 3rd rate female-perspective/version of Beavis without the videos or nearly as much dumb humor.

Mike Judge I guess didn't even do any of the writing or producing believe it or not. He was off doing King of the Hill and Office Space I imagine at that time.

Well many years later..I might be kind of wrong. Right and wrong. Having enjoyed sarcastic female-empowered, nerdy-girl, clever outcast, pop-culture referencing characters in Hollywood and even graphic novel form.

The likes of

Enid (Ghost World)
Linda Cardellini in Freaks and Geeks
Lorelai Gilmore
Ellen Page in Juno
Kristen Bell in Veronica Mars
Sarah Michelle Gellar in Buffy

and any number of others I'm not remembering at the moment.

Daria falls in there. She's snide, cynical, but totally belonging in her own brilliant world.

So, I haven't yet, but the show lasted about as long as Beavis did. 1997-2001. Many of the episodes are actually viewable (save for 1 or 2 the writing being backwards) on Youtube. They made 1 or 2 movies as well I guess.

Do I expect it to be as good as Beavis? hardly. But I think I've slept on a pretty great show not having watched more than a few episodes.

Funny thing is too about Daria, on Beavis and her show itself, I always assumed the voice was done by Janeane Garofalo. But actually it is Tracy Grandstaff who actually is rather nothing like Daria physically at all.

Just from seeing and reading this interview on Underground tv




the dude on that site actually does a podcast that I can relate to a bit. The 1 I streamed he basically echoed my thoughts about 99% of all podcasts out there. But I'm curious if he ever heard the Psych Podcast I and my friend do.

At any case, Daria the show is on my to-watch list right now certainly. I may have to go on a lot more about it when I finally am able to watch most if not all of the episodes.

Oh and funny how Janeane Garofalo hosted a behind-the-scenes thing for the show, lol.
