Making the third season of new Beavis and butt-head exclusive to Comedy Central will always be a bizarre decision to me

First two seasons were paramount plus originals and to make season 3 only available on cable television seemed backwards
Don’t they want people using paramount plus? I don’t get it
I shouldn’t have to use sketchy methods or a cable alternative service like sling or YouTube tv to watch it

Comedy Central was behind the reboot. It was meant to originally air on the network to begin with. Viacom wanted to bring in subscribers for Paramount+ thus the reason the first two seasons played there first, not to mention the success of the movie, “Do the Universe.” For season three, Paramount+ now had its subscribers, and Beavis and Butt-Head finally aired on the network that was responsible for bringing it back. It should also be noted that a ton of new commissioned shows that were meant to air on one of Viacom’s networks ended up going straight to Paramount+ around the same time as the B&B reboot’s first two seasons.
Bottom line, it was originally meant to air on cable first.

So what does that mean, it probably won’t go to streaming?
partyclams@reddit
I’m sure it will go to streaming but streaming won’t get it before Comedy Central does. Not having first airing of the episodes cost CC money. I wouldn’t be surprised if Viacom made a special deal with them for the first two seasons promising that subsequent seasons would get exclusive release through Comedy Central. CC probably wants to do what Paramount+ did which is force people to buy CC (subscribe to cable) to watch the show.

That sucks

Pirating rules

Ok, but though you wrote this 90 days ago, I should have been able to stream the show somewhere. It is unavailable anywhere and I’m old so I don’t know know how to sail as I did in the days when Limewire reigned

Honestly felt like they wanted something to be a companion piece to South Park on Wednesday after they burned through all the episode of Digman. I guess it was either Beavis and Butt-Head or dusting off that Ren and Stimpy revival that Paramount seems to be sitting on.

I thought it would eventually show up on Paramount. Will it not?
LivNRox@reddit
I'm refusing to watch it anyway until it's on Paramount plus. I kind of hope they cancel the show just because it deserves to fail for what these horrible people at Paramount have done to it. It's fucking 2026 dude. there's no excuse for TV shows taking more than half a year to show up on streaming
im_rickyspanish@reddit
That's what I'm holding out for.
DaveGX3@reddit
It's weird what they did because it was always the plan to eventually go to Comedy Central. This was spoke of couple decades ago because Viacom is the parent company of a majority which both MTV and Comedy Central are part of. They did show season 1 and 2 on TV at least a year or 2 after being on Paramount+.....

I hate when they screwed up the ComedyCentral website and made all the content exclusive to a Paramount+ login, when before you could just sign in to your satellite account.
Gumsho88@reddit
simple decision-they wanted more viewers and more people get Comedy Central over a paid streaming service.
youdontlookitalian@reddit
I was wondering why it wasn’t on paramount+. Super annoying to pay for a billion apps and still have to pirate to get the shit you wanna see.
Glitchcore_Giyuu@reddit
Dude there's no more comedy central in Australia💔 I'm too lazy to sail the seas just for like 10 new episodes, I might tho
AdoIsOnReddit@reddit
Decisions like this is why I just pirated the show instead
Fantastic-Season-922@reddit
Airing them on tv doesn't rule out the possibility that they will also appear on Paramount Plus soon.
ShingledPringle@reddit
Now I understand what happened, buttmunches.
thePhool13@reddit
I bought the bluray on ebay that has all 3 seasons and Do the Universe. Its really high quality product and worth the money. That way you have them forever.
Snoo91454@reddit
Because they want to be on TV, butt munch. Not just like, the internet or something. Only nerds use computers.
stoned_in_my_bones@reddit
they seemed to embrace the internet back in the day. at least, if you were helping them get porno. haha
CaptainObvious110@reddit
Lol
JeezuzChryztler@reddit
Wish they would put it on a platform you can stream from Scandinavia
OzDuck90000@reddit
There are other ways to watch it 😉
SeveralAwareness7437@reddit
Crazy I can’t even purchase the season through Apple TV
Mysterious-Simple805@reddit
They made the same mistake with Tuca and Bertie.
Der_Nudelgeholzte@reddit
Maybe it was decided by using Beavis and Butthead logic

"Uhhh, we want lots of people to, like, watch the show or whatever. So, Uhhh it should, like be on CABLE. After all, Beavith, this is the 90s."
*"Ehh... Oh yeah, mmheh the 90s! The 90s are pretty cool. I think your grandmother is in her 90s."
"Shut up, Beavith."
C-LOgreen@reddit
Fr like wtf it was originally a Paramount+ exclusive
brandyharringtonfan@reddit
it was originally a comedy central show back in the first season of the new show but then they swapped it to paramount+ and now this one is comedy central like they had originally planned
GhostGamer_Perona@reddit (OP)
They need more shows on there not less
EnvironmentalCan4784@reddit
Probably cuz mtv sucks now is is basically disfunct
Inside-Run785@reddit
It was originally commissioned as a Comedy Central show. I don’t know why they changed it and then changed it back.
