Yesterday, Comedy Central announced that Beavis and Butt-Head is getting a reboot. The animated series from the early 90s originally ran for eight seasons and across that time, the show amassed a loyal following, one that turned into a cult after the program entered syndication. Are they happy with the news, though? Well, the answer may surprise you.
Facts first. In their statement, Comedy Central said the reboot will be directed by Mike Judge, who was the creator and showrunner of the original series. As if this bit of news wasn’t good enough on its own, the network also revealed it would be producing not one, but two seasons, alongside spinoffs and specials.
Beavis and Butt-Head, which aired from 1993 till 2011, was one of the first adult-oriented animated sitcoms ever to air on television. Spawning juggernauts like King of the Hill and Daria, it played a major role in the...

The NBA is throwing up ratings airballs on national television. Thus far this season, viewers are rejecting the National Basketball Association’s key TV offerings, with the league’s two national cable partners, ESPN and TNT, both down around the 20% mark versus this time last year. ESPN has seen its total-viewer averages drop 19% this fall; the Turner cable channel’s decline is 4% worse than that. At first blush, this subtracting viewership might not seem to add up. Basketball, after all, is supposed to be the young, hip sport that’s steadily gaining traction in comparison to football and baseball — with Gallup showing it is the second-most popular sport in the U.S. for all key demos last year. So what gives? And can the NBA expect to bounce back from its early struggles? J.A. Adande, director of sports journalism at Northwestern University, said above all else, a “loss of stars...

Espn lost a colossal figure when president and co-chairman John Skipper stepped down on Monday, with his 20 years at the network coinciding with — and presiding over — major shifts at the sports giant. His exit came as a “massive surprise,” one Espn insider told TheWrap, with the network and Disney, its parent company, grappling with the ongoing siege cord-cutters have inflicted on its subscriber base. According to J.A. Adande, former Espn analyst and current Director of Sports Journalism at Northwestern University, Skipper’s legacy will “take a while to be determined.” But the $2.66 billion per year broadcasting deal the...

Mysterious videos never really turned into anything, in Bigger Than the Sound.

Back in December, the Gulf of Mexico had yet to be sullied by roughly 50 kajillion gallons of crude oil, people were freaking out about swine flu, and Lady Gaga hadn't even begun feuding with Jerry Seinfeld yet (or released the "Telephone" video, for that matter). It seems like a million years ago, doesn't it?
Anyway, while all that was going on, I had become newly obsessed with Iamamiwhoami, a mysterious, decidedly spooky viral campaign that involved strangely sexualized tree sap, sorta-gross scenes of a woman smeared in mud and definitely gross scenes of a live goat birth. Needless to say, it was pretty much required viewing.
As 2009 turned into 2010, Iamami kept churning out videos, and my obsession only continued to grow. I was spending hours attempting to crack the bizarre numeric codes,...
