Beavis and Butthead return

Beavis and Butthead have returned to the television screen after 13 years and the new audience loves it.

MTV USA resurrected the show, now known as Mike Judge's Beavis and Butthead, and airs the program at 10pm on Thursdays.

The first program this week drew at audience of 3.3 million, a reasonable audience for cable at that time of night.

Mike Judge created the characters in 1992 for his short film 'Frog Baseball'. MTV signed Judge to develop them into a series and the first program aired on March 8, 1993. It ran until October 27, 1997.

In 1996, Judge created the film 'Beavis and Butt-Head Do America'. It featured original music from Red Hot Chili Peppers and Engelbert Humperdinck.
