I’m interested in gaining a familiarity with Beavis and Butthead so I can understand more of the cultural zeitgeist. However, I am not a teenage boy and will probably not like it all that much. The plan right now is to watch 6 episodes. Which 6 episodes should I watch?

    Honestly Mike Judge’s worst show. Watch Daria. Also Common Side Effects. King of the Hill isn’t bad either.

        Oh wow, I didn’t realize MTV kept him out of it. That’s kind of brazen to make a spin-off with a character and not let the creator be involved. Good show, though.

          Not how it works. Different people created the spinoff and thus ran the show. Judge had nothing to do in there because it wasn’t his show. Apparently he “allowed the character to star in the series”, although I’m not sure he had the rights anyway.

          I’d guess they would let him come onto the show if he wanted. But even the characters that he voiced in ‘B&B’ aren’t in ‘Daria’, and

          Other than a brief mention of Highland, ‘Daria’ did not contain any references to ‘Beavis and Butt-Head’.
