Beavis and Butthead to Return to TV with New Episodes!

“Fire! Fire!”

Oh boy oh boy!! One of my favorite, iconic TV shows from the 90s, Beavis & Butthead is making a comeback. Series creator – and the voice of most of the characters – Mike Judge is reportedly putting together 30 new episodes to continue the adventures of his inarticulate, animated heroes. Specifics of timing and format are still being resolved, but the process is underway. Beavis & Butthead originally aired on MTV from 1993 to 1997. I watched it religiously.

RIP Ronnie James Dio

Ronnie James Dio lost his fight with cancer on the morning of May 16th, 2010. He was 67 years old. Ronnie James popularized the heavy metal “devil horns” gesture, and for that he deserves a place among the angels. Rock on, Holy Diver.

This Is So Metal

That’s all I have to say about it.
