Beavis and Butthead: The Mike Judge Collectionby M. Faust |

(Paramount, $38.99)
The good news is that the MTV cartoon series, which paved the way for “South Park,” “Ren and Stimpy,” “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” and a legion of others is finally available on DVD. The bad news is that, like the previous VHS releases, the episodes are stripped of their best parts: the segments in which B&B berate music videos. (Presumably getting the copyright permission to use all those songs was impossible.) These three disks feature creator Mike Judge’s favorite cartoons, and therefore are pretty likely to include most of your favorites, as well, among the 40 he chose. (My own favorite is right at the beginning of disk one, where da boys struggle not to laugh during a sex ed lecture.) The extras are a bit on the thin side, and some of the cartoons have been edited of once-controversial material (like Beavis’ fixation with fire). But you will still laugh.
