"Early instalments gave them a juvenile obsession with fire and dangerous behavior (summed up with Beavis' chant of "Fire! Fire!"). The show was blamed for a two-year-old's death which occurred in Moraine, Ohio in October 1993 in which a five-year-old boy set fire to his mother's mobile home, killing his two year old sister.[16] The mother later claimed that her son had watched one of the fire-related segments shortly before he burned down the home,[16] although, according to an article in the March 24, 1994 issue of Rolling Stone, neighbors claimed that the family did not have cable television. As a result, the references were excised from further airings. The creators found a censorship loophole and took delight in sometimes making Beavis scream things that sounded very similar to his previous "Fire! Fire!" (such as "Fryer! Fryer!" when he and Butt-head are working the late shift at Burger World) and also having him almost say the forbidden word (such as one time when he sang "Liar, liar, pants on..." and pausing before "fire" (in the "Liar! Liar!" episode). There was also a music video where a man runs on fire in slow motion ("California" by Wax). Beavis is hypnotized by it and can barely say "Fire." References to fire were cut from earlier episodes - even the original tapes were altered permanently.[17] Other episodes MTV opted not to rerun included "Stewart's House" and "Way Down Mexico Way". Early episodes with the controversial content intact are rare, and are traded on homemade video recordings made from the original broadcasts. In an interview included with the recent Mike Judge Collection DVD set, Judge denied being certain if some of the earlier episodes still existed in their uncensored form. In new episodes after the 2011 revival Beavis is now allowed to say fire again.[18]" From wiki. Any way, Panda got the truth in it, people aren't so fuzzy anymore.

I'm watching it later... I'm not overjoyed it's been brought back, I don't see how it will fit in with the times. I'll reserve full judgement till I've watched it.

The story parts were good but I didn't like how they used old animation for the video watching scenes and I didn't like how MTV used those scenes to push their other shows.

Not sure how making fun of those shows is pushing them. And the 'Jersey Shore' segment was damned hilarious.

Even if your making fun of them your still mentioning them and or showing them, which is giving them exposure.

As far as reusing the old animation for the video segments, I think it's a matter of keeping costs down. Besides, it's not as if they need to use a whole lot of fresh animation for commentary, anyway. And as far as using their own shows, these are shows that are begging to be ridiculed. Most of the people on them are so stupid and idiotic, they make these two seem like Rhodes Scholars in comparison. And what better to recognize that by having them rip Snook,i JWOWW, and the Teen Moms a new one?

To me, it was just a bit jarring from a continuity perspective switching between the old and new animation, and it was really jarring when they did so once within the same video segment. I mean, would it really be THAT expensive to animate a new scene? If after that point they used the same stock footage repeatedly to save money, it would be much more understandable, because then at least things would match a lot more, but instead, it makes it look really bush league (and not in a good way, either).

With that being said, I was never a fan of the video segments (though, the whole "porno" bit in this episode was good stuff).

That aside, while I was initially disappointed we did not get the episode from the teasers, it was a really good episode, and any show where I have a solid laugh is a winner, and this episode delivered two.

Also bold move keeping the 4:3 ratio.
