The real reason the Beavis and Butt-Head revival TV series failed

In March 1993, MTV, at the time still largely an outlet for music videos, quietly debuted an animated series called Beavis and Butt-Head. It told of the adventures of two degenerate, incredibly stupid, teenage metalheads who lived in a sleepy Southwestern town as they made life miserable for their teachers and neighbors. Beavis and Butt-Head were dudes who loved laughing all the time, hitting on "chicks," and proclaiming what things "sucked" or "ruled." They also watched a lot of TV, and each Beavis and Butt-Head cartoon featured the duo pointedly and hilariously mocking music videos.

The show became a pop cultural phenomenon, and it spawned the big-screen spin-off Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, but by 1997, creator Mike Judge was ready to move on. However, the show returned, ever so briefly, in late 2011 for a run of new episodes. But then just as quickly as it arrived, the Beavis and Butt-Head revival disappeared. So why did it fail? Well, here are some factors that prevented a second season of the new Beavis and Butt-Head.

It aired during the Teen Mom and Jersey Era. I actually thought the revival was pretty funny
