The disc does, however, supply a brief, first look at the all-new "Beavis and Butt-head" for those who didn't make it to Judge's Comic-con panel. The feature presentation of this 20-episode, 111-minute compilation offers nothing new for those who own the three 3-disc volumes of The Mike Judge Collection, released from 2005 to 2006 and still easily obtained at reasonable prices. They'll do that on October 4th with a disc called "Beavis and Butt-head": Mike Judge's Most Wanted. Naturally, the return of Beavis and Butt-head, who it's now tough to believe inspired such public derision and concern, is reason enough for MTV Home Entertainment to put out a new DVD. Judge has repeatedly expressed such sentiments and MTV has come so far from where they were fifteen years ago that it's genuinely surprising to see them reunite for a revival that is owed a good deal of fanfare before it begins airing on October 27. He has also been one of the show's biggest critics, citing dissatisfaction over numerous episodes made when his creative control was less than absolute. In 2002, he secured a last-minute recall of a two-disc DVD compilation for MTV not consulting him and including episodes he didn't approve of. Judge has clearly had some mixed feelings and remorse about his industry breakthrough. Cleverness is required to make idiocy funny and Judge's show delivered plenty of that in the inimitable misadventures of these easily amused and essentially harmless slackers. It doesn't quite have the satiric and intellectual value of "The Simpsons", but it's not far from that. The rambunctious Beavis and laid-back Butt-head may be stupid, but their show is not. But it was a lazy, kneejerk reaction of many adults to assume that young fans lacked the same things. It would be easy to trash "Beavis and Butt-head." There is no denying that the ever horny, immature 14-year-old title characters are in need of direction, discipline, and parenting. While the decade is long and forever gone, Beavis and Butt-head are back in a new series that returns Mike Judge to his first creation, which he followed with the long-running Fox cartoon "King of the Hill" and a trio of live-action movies, the most popular of which remains the (barely cult) classic workplace comedy Office Space. They also are as representative of popular '90s television as any small screen duo, with the possible exception of Scully and Mulder. Of an age when MTV's schedule prominently included both music videos and animation. The two idiotic, heavy metal-loving teenagers stand as a reminder Though plenty controversial back in their day, enough time has passed for Beavis and Butt-head to be considered undisputed cultural icons who most people look back upon with fondness (if they look back at all).
