Back at the Paramount, AFF welcomed local talent Mike Judge to present the return of his iconic and influential series to television. Judge brought with him an entourage of his family and friends whom he lovingly thanked for supporting him and putting up with his work all these years. As a fan of the old TV series, I was excited to attend this presentation of the first episode in many years. Sticking closely to the original format, but with some new updates, the episode of BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD takes the audience through two shorts. The first one explores how the TWILIGHT movies have inspired B & B to become either vampires or werewolves for the sake of scoring chicks. The second short shows Butthead constantly lambasting Beavis for "crying" while watching "The Bachelor". Because the dimwitted duo used to criticize and offer commentary on music videos during the era of MTV when videos were more prominent, Judge and his crew of writers have decided to update this by having the boys offer their commentary on current MTV programming such as JERSEY SHORE and 16 AND PREGNANT.
This first episode shows much promise for a triumphant return to television. The great comic writing had me constantly laughing and cheering among other fans in the crowd. Based on how successful this show renewal is, Judge may consider making another BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD movie sequel. Let's hope fans flock to watch and also that the show attracts a new following of viewers.
