The Return of Assmunch & Bunghole?

Word around the Net today is that MTV plans to bring back the old Beavis & Butt-head series anew (link at bottom). Reportedly, nothing will change except that the setting will be the 2010's instead of the 1990's. Original series creator Mike Judge will be involved and, presumably, all of the old side characters (such as Mr. Buzzcut and the gullible old man neighbor with Hank Hill's voice) will return.

If you've never seen this show, it's sort of a poor man's Seinfeld in that it truly is about nothing. You have two high school morons who giggle a lot but (thanks to good writing) actually get off some pretty funny lines and blasts. Their life revolves around sitting at home watching (and making fun of) music videos, going to the convenience store for nachos and hitting on chicks there ("Heeeey --- Baby"), and occasionally going to school and working menial jobs when they absolutely must.

My reaction to this news is a lot like my reaction to all of these old '80s and '90s movies and shows that they've been remaking this year. While there is a certain interest factor in seeing these old shows and movies brought up to date, I think that a majority of the time they should just leave them where they lie -- in the past.

What was Ward Cleaver's old line on this subject from Leave It To Beaver (and no, I was not alive when LITB was on the air)? Something like, "Beaver, when you try to relive the past, you'll usually find that it's not quite the same the second time around." But that being said, when the New Beavis & Butt-head hits the air, I'm "there, dude. Huh, huh, huh. Huh, Huh."
