Beavis and Butt-head is an American animated television series created by Mike Judge. After the success of Judge's short film entitled Frog Baseball, which starred the characters Beavis and Butt-head and was featured in an episode of Liquid Television, the cable television channel MTV signed Judge to create a series with the same characters. The series aired from March 8, 1993 to November 28, 1997. It is rated TV-14 in the United States. Reruns of the series are currently airing on MTV2.

Each show contains short cartoons centering on a pair of teenagers, Beavis and Butt-head, who live in the fictitious town of Highland, Texas. There, they while away time in sarcastic conversation, fantasizing about sex, and cynical, destructive behavior. They survive without serious consequences, and with a generally contented, though critical (not apathetic) worldview. Of course, in episodes the teens have to escape accountability in order to continue their lifestyle, which is a caricature of teenage naivety and, to a lesser extent, of juvenile delinquency. Beavis and Butt-head often watch and make fun of music videos.

Animated MTV series about two teenaged heavy-metal music fans who occasionally do idiotic things because they are bored. For them, everything is "cool" or "sucks." Written by Tad Dibbern

Beavis and Butt-head's lives revolve around three simple things. (1) Barely attending school, which sucks. They do nothing, they learn squat, they know diddly, they hate the teachers - and, amazingly, they manage to avoid being thrown out. (2) Trying to score with chicks - something we know they'll never achieve. (3) Watching TV. Lots of TV. If something in the real world doesn't relate to what they know from TV, it sucks. They especially enjoy "reviewing" music videos - or just commenting inanely on them. If a video contains heavy rock, scantily-clad babes or anti-authority figures, it's cool - otherwise, it sucks.
