More or less sticking with the original format means that the first two episodes of the 2022 “Beavis” include four shorts and around half a dozen interstitial bits where the boys sit on the couch and watch TV-or rather, content. It’s difficult to say for sure, at least on the basis of two network-length not-quite-half-hours of television. Or are they just so timelessly American that surprisingly little adaptation is necessary? Are we in the same collective stasis as two incessantly snickering morons in the same old Metallica and AC/DC t-shirts? Beavis and Butt-Head have a tendency to mold their environment in their image. In the first two episodes of this new season, it doesn’t look much different from their time. When we last left Beavis and Butt-Head, the animated teenage miscreants from Highland, Texas who dominated MTV for much of the ’90s, they were plunked down in 2022, thanks to the wormhole that powered the sci-fi plotting of June’s Paramount+ movie “Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe.” “Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head,” a nominal follow-up to that movie and de facto ninth season of the TV show that inspired it, makes no specific mention of this - though based on some small technological details (and the streaming content they consume), the boys have indeed remained in our time.
