    Beavis and butt-head are back after a 14 year hiatus, and they are better than ever. This time it is as good as it was back in the 90s; The animation is the same in the new show with improvements to it and the comedy on the show is as funny as ever, this time they watch reality shows like Jersey shore and 16 and Pregnant. The new season begins with Beavis and Butt-head trying to become werewolves to get girls, and one were Butt-head caught Beavis crying, both of the episodes were hilarious. I am really glad that the duo have returned to MTV is because that network hasn't been this good in years, i think that this season will be an improvement for MTV and the show itself.… Expand

    Okay, here's the deal. You're all talking about a show that centers around two teens who are so dumb they don't even know they're standing in harm's way most of the time...how good can it be story wise? The show survives on on point borderline "retarded" humor recycled from the 90's, and it's awesome! Finally MTV had redeemed itself after its epic Skins failure, as well as the last lackluster season of Jersey Shore, as well as all the other crap shows they put out. All I'm saying is, they made the right choice allowing Mike Judge make a new season of his hit cult favorite.… Expand

    Granted I grew up in the 80s and 90s but I couldn't be happier with MTv's best decision in years: bringing back Beavis & Butthead. The writing is just as good as it used to be and I haven't laughed this consistantly at a show in a really long time. Yes, the boys watch some MTv shows like 16 & Pregnant as well as current music videos, but beavis and Butthead make just as much fun of these shows as The Soup does. It certainly doesn't make it seem like Beavis and Butthead enjoy watching these shows. My only real complaint is that Mike Judge seems to do all the male voices. Which is fine but they really start to sound a lot alike. Otherwise, I've only seen one episode so far in this new season that was kind of a stinker. And I can't even remember which one it was. As far as Im concerned, I've been very happy with the return of the show.… Collapse

    Back with a vengeance! Beavis and Butt-head have been long gone but have returned funny as ever. You do not want to miss out on the captivating, comedic genius Mike Judge has enabled us to.

    Some things never change, and that's a good thing--if you liked B&B in the past, you'll like 'em again! I haven't giggled like Butthead for 14 yrs, feels good, hehehehe

    Beavis and Butt-head's long awaited return is finally here. The modern feel gives the show a lot more freedom. The show still follows the same formula and now Beavis and Butt-head is no longer a 90's thing.

    Pretty funny, just like the original, Basically if you didn't watch/ get the old ones then you wont like the new ones, it takes a certain individual to enjoy this cartoon!

    Although there will be your baby-boomer critics out there who will slander Beavis and Butt-Head as a whole, whether it be the 90's run, or the more recent(visually more enhanced and upgraded). However, nobody can deny the true-to-form nature of the new episodes, and anyone who found the original run to be funny, will be pleasantly surprised by the hilariousness of the new episodes of the series. The integrity that is kept after a decade, and the homages that are paid to the original run are both second to none. As a fan of the duo in general, the new series is spot-on, and I'm continually hoping to see new episodes well into the next few years. Beavis and Butt-Head are an integral part of the act of sitting down, unwinding, and forgetting about your day as you laugh at mindless morons, showcasing ironically witty humor. I enjoy this series now more than ever, and am more than happy to award it an undoubtedly positive review. Whether you enjoy them or not, the fact that the integrity of the characters hasn't dissolved, nor has Mike Judge's ability to tell an enjoyably funny story in such a minor amount of time. Hilarious series from top to bottom. 10/10.… Expand

    The animated duo have returned, as dumb--and hilarious--as ever. [31 Oct 2011, p.36]

    There's still something winning and relevant about their particular blend of cluelessness and surprisingly sharp commentary.

    Is the show still funny? Sure. But it now seems about as cutting edge and relevant as "Alf" or "Suddenly Susan."
