Disclaimers edit
The following part of the article, in bold, is not exactly accurate:
MTV also responded by broadcasting the program after 11:00 p.m., and included a disclaimer, reminding viewers:
Beavis and Butt-Head are not real. They are stupid cartoon people completely made up by this Texas guy whom we hardly even know. Beavis and Butt-Head are dumb, crude, thoughtless, ugly, sexist, self-destructive fools. But for some reason, the little wienerheads make us laugh.
This was later changed to:
Beavis and Butt-Head are not role models. They're not even human. They're cartoons. Some of the things they do would cause a person to get hurt, expelled, arrested, possibly deported. To put it another way: don't try this at home.
The wording implies the time change and disclaimers were all because of the Ohio fire incident in Moraine, Ohio. Actually, the time change is the only part of that that's accurate. The show was indeed taken off of it's 7PM slot and shown only at late night in response to that incident.
But the first disclaimer, "Beavis and Butt-Head are not real... " was actually added in May of 1993, many months before any fire controversy.
And the second disclaimer, "Beavis and Butt-Head are not role models..." was added some time in early October, on the same date as or slightly before that incident [1] and almost certainly could not have been a response to it, as it would take time for the accusation to reach MTV and for them to formulate a response.
I propose moving the disclaimers to a new section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.63.138.112 (talk) 20:32, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

UK official TV home video charts success edit
The Beavis and Butt-head home video releases did very well in the UK, they often made the UK official TV video charts on numerous occasions, some with various releases at the same time and spent several consecutive weeks on the charts. I feel this should be noted with the article however now sure how best to display this with the home video releases without over extending the article?
Some official sources here from the certified official UK charts here:
18 August 1996 - 24 August 1996: https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/tv-on-video-chart/19960818/30/
16 February 1997 - 22 February 1997: https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/tv-on-video-chart/19970216/30/
01 June 1997 - 07 June 1997: https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/tv-on-video-chart/19970601/30/
06 July 1997 - 12 July 1997: https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/tv-on-video-chart/19970706/30/
07 September 1997 - 13 September 1997: https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/tv-on-video-chart/19970907/30/ (4 consecutive releases)
31 May 1998 - 06 June 1998: https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/tv-on-video-chart/19980531/30/
02 August 1998 - 08 August 1998: https://www.officialcharts.com/charts/tv-on-video-chart/19980802/30/
I do feel that with such significant success this should be noted, just not sure which is the best way to display this within the article?
Please note some of the charts have a couple of releases on the chart at the same time and these are certified chart positions in the UK.

Couple things edit
I noticed in the initial revival report that “specials” were also planned. Then we got word of the second movie. But considering what we’ve seen of South Park’s Paramount+ content using the terms so interchangeably, is it possible we are in a similar situation with this project? As for the second thing, Mike Judge tweeted this out,
Beavis and Butt-Head will be returning this year with a brand new movie and more on Paramount+
and he doesn’t mention Comedy Central at all. I’m not going to change anything yet, but I do recommend getting ready for a shift.--CreecregofLife (talk) 06:55, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
What happened to AC/DC’s Ballbreaker tour? edit
I had added this with sources many times before but it keeps getting removed. Beavis and Butt-Head were vital to AC/DC’s Ballbreaker tour intro. What’s with the conspiracy about hiding this piece of history? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.88.191.16 (talk) 04:37, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
Total episodes edit
If we are going by what list and claiming two pilots episodes as 0.
- Pilots episodes 2
- season 1 episodes 3
- season 2 episodes 26 3+26=29
- season 3 episodes 31 29+31=60
- season 4 episodes 32 60+32=92
- season 5 episodes 50 50+92=142
- season 6 episodes 20 20+142=162
- season 7 episodes 41 41+162=203
- season 8 episodes 22 22+203=225
- season 9 episodes 12
current episodes listed the count is 12+225=237 episodes
Saying 23+225=243, which is wrong. Would actually be 23+225=248 if it actually had 23 episodes in the new season. Which it clearly does not list 23 separate episodes, it still doesn't count to 243 episodes. P.greenlink (talk) 22:20, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
- @P.greenlink and Partyclams: When you have been involved in a dispute with another editor, and you post on the article's Talk page in order to discuss and try to resolve the dispute, it's a common courtesy to notify the other editor(s) that you have done so, so that they can respond promptly. We typically do this using the {{mention}} (a/k/a reply or ping) template. I have invited Partyclams to this discussion by way of this post. General Ization Talk 02:10, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Again, go down the list. Number overall is listed. The current season has 23 episodes. Each segment counts as an episode. This is how it has always been. Production codes for the segments are 101A, 101B, 102A, 102B, etc.
- Where are you getting 225? Season 8 ends at 220 episodes. Again, why are you incapable of looking at the episode guide? It lists in black and white the total overall episodes. Stop looking at just the series overview. Partyclams (talk) 18:49, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
- Where am I getting 225? Well again as it was told to me the pilots are counted as 0 episodes, so it really starts with season 1. So it starts from based on series overview from season 1-8 3+26=29 29+31=60 60+32=92 92+50=142 142+20=162 162+41=203 203+22=225. That's where 225 comes from. [overview] But if if we are counting each segment, then I guess the accepted overall count would be 248 if we are doing by segments. Then it is my mistake. But the proposed being 243 is not mine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by P.greenlink (talk • contribs) 19:46, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
