Do you recall Frog Baseball? The 1992 short was the first cartoon appearance of two adolescent slackers named Beavis and Butt-Head. It aired on MTV's Liquid Television. Before you go watch it, be advised that they play baseball with a live frog as the ball. The MTV audience went wild over it, and Beavis and Butt-Head got their own series and became television superstars. So did their creator, Mike Judge. With fame came controversy, since these two characters were anything but role models. But Beavis and Butt-Head managed to hold on for seven consecutive seasons, two feature-length films, and two series revivals stretching well into the 21st century. The kids who stayed up past bedtime and had to sneak to watch the show grew up with fond recollections of the two boys who never made it past their pubescent idiocy, at least in this universe. Weird History takes us through the entire history of Beavis and Butt-Head so far.

There were so many much better cartoons on Liquid Television, I was really disappointed when they chose to pick up Beavis & Butthead for a series instead of something like Aeon Flux or The Maxx.
