So, it's sounding pretty official. MTV is indeed onboard with bringing Beavis and Butthead back.
"Instead of reviving the brainless cast of The Hills for another disappointing season, MTV has decided to go highbrow… by resurrecting Beavis and Butt-head. As obnoxious as the 90s duo was (and will no doubt continue to be), I think we can all agree that the network’s programming decision is a positive one. Because let’s face it: Beavis and Butt-head to The Hills is like comparing Masterpiece Theatre to…The Hills.
According to the New York Post:
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.
But MTV also has an ulterior motive for the boys’ re-introduction:
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.
While MTV has confirmed that the show’s creator, Mike Judge, will be creating the new episodes, the King of the Hill creator is not yet commenting on the project.
Now if only MTV could cancel The City and bring back Daria…"
meh going from showing shitty reality tv to shitty music videos....ill be watching beavis and butthead.....and yeah i tend to watch the real world cause it makes me LOL but other than that mtv sucks
i haven't watched MTV in YEARS!.... since the days of Celebrity deathmatch
my sister watches it the whole time she's in front of a TV and im forced to leave the room.... i fear for the dropping of my IQ when im in the same room.
I watched Jersey Shore for the first time last night. All I could think was "HOW THE FUCK ARE KIDS ENTERTAINED BY THIS?! I'D RATHER WATCH FUCKING PAINT DRY!"
"So the rumors are true: Beavis and Butt-Head are returning to MTV! Mike Judge had previously hinted that they’d be working tech support or some such job, but apparently they’re still going to be in high school. Which is fine by me — I don’t ever need to see these dudes grow up. Or, grow up as much as two metal-loving idiots might.
Besides, I can’t really see B&B holding down tech support jobs, can you? In my imagination, they grow up to start a stupid metal blog which, for reasons unknown even to them, people actually read. I mean, I’m no Mike Judge, I’m just sayin’. That seems pretty true-to-life to me.
I really don't see him changing the shirts at all. Everybody knows them as wearing AC/DC and Metallica shirts. Really wouldn't see the point in the change after all these years.

Actually, what if they just changed the shirts but kept the same band, like an up to date Metallica & AC/DC shirt.

also heard they're still gonna be metalheads, but their band shirts may change.
I may not agree with it, but it wouldn't surprise me.
