Beavis & Butt-Head Are Back

MTV: Music Television has a cure for the seven-year itch.

The network said Wednesday that after seven years off the air, Beavis & Butt-Head will present the “Viewer's Choice Award” at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards Aug. 28.

MTV also said Paramount Home Video Entertainment will release the Beavis and Butt-Head: The Mike Judge Collection, Volume 1 DVD box set Nov. 8.

“We're excited to work with Beavis and Butt-Head again," MTV Networks Music/Films/Logo Group president Van Toffler said in a prepared statement. “But we really didn't have a choice. They were persistently calling me at work, at home and on my cell. They wouldn't leave me alone until I agreed to take their call and help them.”
