EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Petitioner for Beavis and Butt-Head relaunch Kaz McQ

 I created this campaign because I have felt that Beavis and Butt-Head ‘s revival is actually one of the rare revivals that actually worked. It got positive critical acclaim

from fans of the original run, the show gained some new fans, and if I dare say so myself: The new episodes are actually a lot funnier than the older episodes. This is something that

I wouldn’t expect, as I am a huge fan of the old episodes, but the new episodes cranks up the humour to 11, and makes it twice, no three times as funny. I also feel as if, despite

the show’s revival being in a different era, that the show works just as well as it did in the 1990s. It’s humour doesn’t feel dated, and the humour stayed the same for the most part, and just updated the references, without harming old or new fans. I actually think it works just as well as “South Park” and “Family Guy” , and many people such as myself were baffled when

we found out that the show was on hiatus. We certainly don’t want it canceled.

  Who is involved with this campaign and how did you come up with the concept?

 I am, my friend called James Harrison is, and I came up with it because I was waiting for the show to come back with another season and I became really obsessed at one point with it, and I saw that hardly anyone was making petitions, in spite of wanting the show back. So I thought I would do this myself. Plus, it works as Mike Judge suggested that MTV should

move the show to another network, and it got positive feedback from the “Comedy Central” marathon in 2012. Some even tweeted more about “Beavis and Butt-Head” than “South Park”.

What are some of your favorite memories of  Beavis and Butthead?

My favorite memories is the show’s original run, the last couple of seasons, and especially the movie and the original finale. The original finale was so touching, sure it was comedic, but it actually made me cry. I know the ending credits were supposed to be for laughs but it made me cry knowing that the show had ended. I hardly cry at shows finishing, so that’s saying a lot. And I feel like the movie was originally the best part of the entire franchise, until the new episodes. I think the new episodes are just as good and as hilarious as the movie. I do love the old episodes, but the movie and the new episodes?! ABSOLUTELY ADORE THEM!

 Principal McVicker, Beavis and Butt-Head(obviously), Mr Van Driessen(I love how he cares for Beavis and Butthead, despite most people feeling annoyed by them), Stewart and Daria, despite her departure after the show was cancelled.

Yes. “Rugrats” is one that I feel should be revived. I know people have said the show was revived before, but truthfully, it wasn’t. It was put on hiatus in 1994, and aired the specials in between, before canceling it. Then, when the specials got great reviews/ratings and the reruns did successfully, they renewed it. It has left the same legacy on Nickelodeon, as Beavis and Butt-Head has done for “MTV”, so why not say yes to reviving it?! “Hey Arnold”, “Invader Zim”, “Mission Hill and “Clone High” should be revived as well, as well as maybe “Ren and Stimpy” (but on Comedy Central this time).

I actually do like Daria. I mean it was different from Beavis and Butt-Head, but still very entertaining and gave us more depth and thought about Daria and absolutely. I’d love for it to be on Comedy Central though.

Is there anything else you would like to say to our readers?
