Beavis and Butthead to Return to TV with New Episodes!

Leave a comment

“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.

Beatles B&W

Even though 10:00 PM is not exactly “too late” to stay awake, everyone I know has so much going on with pre-Thanksgiving preparations that it would be a shame to conk out early and miss The Beatles On Record, a new documentary which will premiere broadcast on The History Channel Wednesday, November 25th at 10:00 PM!

See Rooms Inspired By All of These Shows at Showtime House!

As a hardcore NYC-loving gal, I am always looking for fun weekend adventures to have here in the city. Today I am putting fans of Modern Interior Design and / or Showtime Television programming on notice: you only have two more weeks to see the mind-blowing awesomeness that is Showtime House, which Geoffrey and I spent a couple of hours exploring yesterday afternoon. For this years’ exhibit, two New York penthouses – located at the top of the luxurious Tribeca Summit Lofts building – have been transformed by a selection of renowned designers into thematic rooms inspired by Showtime’s 6 Original Series; Californication, Dexter, Nurse Jackie, The Tudors, United States of Tara and Weeds. The exhibit is a collaboration between the Showtime channel and Metropolitan Home, and features entirely different rooms than those found in last year’s Gramercy Park Showtime House. So even if you went last year, you will want to go again.

Jay Leno in Prime Time; Less Funny Than You Can Imagine

Jay Leno

 Somehow, I had the TV tuned to NBC at 10:00 PM last night when the new Jay Leno show debuted. It was about as funny and cutting edge as something my late grandmother would have enjoyed. In too many ways it reminded me of the now infamous, ill-fated Chevy Chase Show, which ran for only five weeks back in 1993, because it just sucked wildly. I don’t know if Jay is going to really need to rely on ratings to stay on the air, or if it’s just a given that he might draw a large enough viewership from folks my parents’ age to keep advertisers happy. But I do know that I am pretty sure I heard him use the word “Poon” when he was telling his ‘off-color’ jokes near the end of the hour. And that was kind of funny.
