Loved BaBH, though. Got a DVD from Netflix once, though, and sicovered that the watching-TV interludes–the only funny part of the show– were omitted.

At the time “Beavis and Butt-head” was on the air (1993-1997, although the first short appeared on “Liquid Television” in 1992), MTV had the rights to use any song from any artist that had a video airing on the network in any program. Now they don’t have those rights, so DVD releases have become a major hurdle, as MTV, Mike Judge, and any other creator of an MTV show that used popular music have had to negotiate with the record companies. The same thing is happening for the comedy troupe The State and their program (these are the guys that would later get behind “Viva Variety” and “Reno 911!,” among other things), as a lot of their sketches used popular music, so the RIAA members are blocking the release of a DVD. Also, while I am not a fan of the MTV reality show binge, notice that the producers of “The Real World” are using a lot of unsigned “indie” acts (including my best friend’s band) in their musical interludes these days, because they have to. Back then, they could use practically any piece of music that they wanted.
