3.0 out of 5 stars
This DVD set is missing a lot of good episodes., October 30, 2006
Firstly, let's start off with the 5 stars that Beavis and Butt-Head deserves. Beavis and Butt-Head was great television that pushed the edge of the envelope. It was excellent so we'll start with a five star rating. Unfortunately some decisions on the part of the DVD producers detract from that...
Selling the DVDs in 'best of' format rather than all the episodes in a format that preserves the broadcast timeline is, in my opinion, a mistake. As other reviewers have pointed out, Mike Judge's 'best episodes' aren't necessarily mine. Then there's the fact that 68 episodes are completely missing - that amounts to just over one third of Beavis and Butt-head that didn't make it into this set. Two stars removed for a flawed format that is very disappointing for those of us who want to see every Beavis & Butt-Head episode in its proper context.
Also, the deletion of certain lines of dialogue from certain episodes is absolutely wrong. Those of us who appreciated ALL the writing have been swindled. One star removed for this awful decision.
Finally, in my opinion, separating the music videos out and adding them as extras is a great solution to a difficult problem. Some of us disliked the music videos while some liked them. Then there's the problem of obtaining copyright. This method satisfies everyone as much as possible. We get to see the show without the distraction of the videos while those who enjoyed the music videos get to see them. One star added for this excellent decision. I only wish every decision made by the producers of this DVD box set was as intelligent as this one.
So all-in-all 3 stars.
Here are all the episodes that The Mike Judge Collection doesn't include in the order they aired:
Peace Love & Understanding, Blood Drive, Door-To-door, Sign Here, Balloon, Customers Suck, Heroes, Stewart's House, Yogurt's Cool, Babes R Us, Friday Night, Scientific Stuff, At The Sideshow, Be All You Can Be, Burger World, Bedpans And Broomsticks, Good Credit, Way Down Mexico Way, For Better Or Verse, Beware Of The Butt, At The Movies, Sick, Baby Makes Uh - Three, The Butt-Head Experience, Comedians, Car Wash, Couch-Fishing, Kidnapped, Naked Colony, Tornado, Incognito, Cleaning House, Scratch 'N' Win, Scared Straight, Sperm Bank, Citizen Butt-Head, True Crime, The Trial, Ball Breakers, Buff 'N' Stuff, Canoe, Eating Contest, Foreign Exchange, Beavis And Butt-Head Meet God, Young Gifted & Crude, Politically Correct, Sporting Goods, Closing Time, Wall Of Youth, Cow Tipping, Trouble Urinating, Jump!, Pumping Iron, Let's Clean It Up, Water Safety, Beavis And Butt-Head's Island, Crisis Line, Beard Boys, Hard Sell, Walking Erect, Career Day, Take A Number, To The Rescue, I Dream Of Beavis, Screamers, Skin Trade, The Mystery Of Morning Wood.
Some of these are classic episodes. In my opinion to omit any of them is a crime, especially considering that the true fans of the show have waited years hoping for ALL of B&B to finally be published.
