What A Cartoon! - Beavis and Butt-Head "Doomsday" and "Dumb Design"
🕑 Added 2020-05-04 04:00:02 +0000 UTCThis week, we're visiting one of the earliest What A Cartoon! subjects—and one of our favorites—the great MTV cartoon, Beavis and Butt-Head. But instead of jumping back to their heyday in the go-go '90s, we're heading back to the less-distant year of 2011, when MTV's crude cartoon got a fresh reboot and all seemed right with the world. This short-lived revival might have come and gone in three short months, but it amazingly matched (and often surpassed) the energy and crude creativity of the original run. Load up on cheap convenience store nachos and get ready for yet another podcast that doesn't suck!

This has to be up there with Twin Peaks on the list of best show revivals/returns ever (or part of the few that actually worked at all, even). I haven't seen the full return season (or all of the original run) but this felt like such a natural continuation despite a decade passing, sort of adapting to the times but not in any kind of stupid or distracting way (i.e. Lisa having a gif of Homer backing into the bushes) that changes the core of the show too much.

I never watched Beavis and Butthead during the '90s. In fact, I've never watched a minute of MTV, but one day I rented the movie off iTunes, and I've loved them since, and I've even started watching Daria.. Thanks for taking a WAC at the newer episodes.
