Are You Glad MTV Is Bringing Back the '90s?

Nickelodeon isn't the only network trying to cash in on its classic '90s programming. The network formerly known as Music Television is trying to hop on the bandwagon, too, with its own lineup of retro revivals. However, MTV is taking a different route. Instead of just playing reruns of old shows, they're also creating new episodes based on those ideas.

MTV announced that it would be relaunching its Emmy-winning '90s animated series "Liquid Television," which served to showcase animated shows like "Beavis and Butt-head" and "Æon Flux" when they were in their infancy. Along with heaps of old material, including reruns of "Winter Steele" and "The Art School Girls of Doom," MTV has loading its website with new material, hoping to show off a new generation of innovative animation.

This is hot on the heels of two more '90s MTV revivals. Back in March, they announced they would be relaunching their alternative music video program, "120 Minutes," which introduced Nirvana to a wider audience early on in the decade. They're also producing new episodes of "Beavis and Butt-head," refit for the modern era.

Re-lauching old shows is still a bit of a cop-out, but anything that isn't a "Teen Mom" spin-off is fine by us. At worst, we'll be swept back to the golden age of television and find ourselves bored of it. But is anyone really going to complain if it's replacing "Jersey Shore"?
