It was a year ago when Van Toffler, the president of MTV got the brilliant idea to bring 'Beavis and Butt-Head' back to the small screen.

"I was eating Fruit Loops and Cap'n Crunch out of the box and flipping through the dials when a Lady Gaga video came on," he says. That's when he had the idea: Bring back Beavis and Butt-Head. "I felt like there was a whole crop of new artists — and what the world sorely missed was the point of view that only Beavis and Butt-Head could bring."


On What Fans Can Expect:

"They'll be self-contained segments with the boys in different situations like they used to be," Toffler says. "But this time around, they'll watch Jersey Shore, UFC matches and user-generated videos from YouTube, in addition to music videos." All of the programming will be displayed on the duo's TV, even if it comes from YouTube — "like silly videos of cats playing music."


On the development of the two characters:
"They'll have the same intelligence," Toffler says. "They're the same boneheads sitting on the same couch, commenting on things through a really simple prism." He has no fear that younger viewers won't respond to the show. "Look how popular South Park and Family Guy are," he says. "These boys are beloved characters, and even if you didn't know them the first time around, it doesn't take more than 30 seconds to fall in love with them."


I for one am more than excited for 'Beavis and Butt-Head' to return to tv, it's one of the best decisions MTV has made in a long long time.
Looks like we're getting another reason to tune back into MTV.

ANOTHER reason to watch MTV? Try A reason to watch it! I have zero interest in what they run now.

I am looking forward to seeing a return of Beavis and Butt-Head. I just hope it goes better than when Spike tried to resurrect Ren and Stimpy.
