TV Bites: The Return of Beavis and Butt-Head?

While Judge does not have a deal for actual broadcast, an anonymous source maintains that the King of the Hill creator is taking the project seriously and is determined to maintain the simplistic aesthetic, faded palette and format of the original cartoon. While neither MTV nor Judge have officially confirmed the plans for a "full-throttle return, Judge confessed last year that he has considered returning to his iconic characters and still thinks of ideas for them.
