The return of Cornholio?

Wow, really? Has the ’90s nostalgia gotten that bad? Apparently so. And if you need proof, here it is. The NY Post announced yesterday that MTV is bringing back Beavis and Butthead, with all new episodes.

Daria DVDs Out May 11

You may not know it if you weren’t paying attention in the ’90s, but if you watch American primetime animation, you owe a lot to Mike Judge.
