Has P+ even tried adding anymore episodes?
They added them for a while, over a 2-year period, but eventually stopped.
Here’s a new thread for a much updated version.
This project is intended to present the best available sources for each episode, and to correct restoration errors and censorship issues in official releases.
Currently, half of the classic series is complete (103 of 205 episodes, plus variants), spread out across all 7 seasons.
The main source is the streaming remasters from 2022, for the episodes that are available, as well as DVD and VHS as-needed. Because the bulk of the sources used are the streaming versions, this release also conforms to 23.976 FPS.
These are the general issues that were fixed from the streaming remasters. See changelog for episode-specific details on restoration, censorship removal, and updates from prior releases.
⦁ Replaced censored parts with the best available uncensored sources
⦁ Fixed poor deinterlace combing and single-field frames
⦁ Fixed DNR-related errors, frame by frame, whenever possible.
⦁ Major reduction in dot-crawl.
⦁ New to this update, the episodes with heaviest dot crawl (e.g., Season 7) are massively improved, thanks to the work of Dravincrow.
⦁ Dot crawl on music video B&B logo selectively removed
⦁ Auto contrast/color problems resulting from missed shot-transitions cause strobing in music videos or a flashing B&B logo. These have been fixed by using alternate video sources, sometimes overlaying the static, HQ B&B logo.
⦁ Added the commercial bumper gags, as broadcast for each episode.
⦁ Replaced the opening title sequence with the HQ one shown in some digitally-made episodes (e.g., Sporting Goods). Other episodes originally aired with fuzzy, higher-generation copies.
⦁ Color corrected title cards, which were desaturated by auto-contrast filters.
⦁ Subtitles and chapters. For episodes with multiple versions (e.g., season 1), chapters in revised versions will skip to new/changed scenes.

It seems they stopped adding episodes on Paramount+
Yes, but more are currently airing on Comedy Central UK, including:
Eating Contest
1-900 Beavis
Water Safety
Figure Drawing
Butt is it Art?
Manners Suck
Radio Sweethearts
Killing Time
Safe House
Beavis and Butt-Head’s IslandI wonder why they stopped though
Possibly copyright issues
Nothing to suggest this, as there are other episodes with duplicated music videos they haven’t aired on P+.
They’re likely to add more in the build up to season 10, but they’re a long way off from a full set.

I do know for a fact the episodes won’t be in their original form
A lot of the early episodes after the fire controversy had their original masters altered to remove fire references
It’s also possible Judge himself won’t allow certain moments to be seen again or entire episodes
Some of the new eps have fire references. Why would they remove from the old ones?
it has to do with the episode Comedians, when it aired a family claimed their son set the house on fire because of that episode he saw on TV (though this turned out to be a hoax) and MTV freaked out and censored prior episodes removing fire references or scenes for future broadcasts and apparently they destroyed the uncensored masters, meaning that they “officially” only exist censored now supposedly
since Sporting Goods is its censored version on Paramount+ (iirc it only aired uncensored once), it seems like that certain edits are baked in to the early episodes now
Or at least the majority of tapes out there contain the edit, and are more likely to be transferred by someone who isn’t particularly aware.
10 episodes were added this week, by the way.
yep I saw, all of them for seasons 5 and 7
any edits to them?
Not that I’m aware of.

Yeah, I don’t think fire is going to be an issue at all, unless there is difficulty actually finding the tapes, or finding an intern/whomever that’s actually familiar with the episodes to transfer the tapes.
Although Mike has, in the past, requested certain episodes taken out of circulation, I think it has more to do with his opinion of their quality rather than content like fire. Paramount has already shown episodes not included in the Mike Judge Collection, so there’s no indication whatsoever that he’s blocking anything.
it seems they’re not releasing anymore episodes which is a bummer
either they gave up or they’re holding out until all of the episodes can be cleared
Actually it resumes the 12th of October (which probably means 11:59 Pacific time Wednesday). They seemed to stop during the new season.
Just seeing this thread.
Any updates?
I’ve been wanting to get a comprehensive B&B collection.
I originally just had the King Turd collection… although not V3 that was mentioned above I don’t think… I’m actually not totally sure which I have and it’s not mentioned in the included Word file.
But I also have the DVD rips, Mike Judge Collection (I downloaded these from Amazon with a Paramount+ subscription, Blu Ray rips, etc.Ok, so edit as I’m typing this.
I just looked it up and there are many more episodes for me to get through Amazon. They have episodes from seasons 4 though 11 using Paramount… I’m acquiring all of these as I type.
First one I got was S04E02 Cow Tipping that is mentioned above.
Definitely much sharper quality than the existing one I had… the Metallica on Beavis’ shirt is much more clear… better colors etc.
Also the file is longer at 11:35 compared to the King Turd copy at 10:49
Although my Amazon (Paramount rip) is only 173 meg compared to the King Turd at 282 meg it is much better.So has anyone put together a definitive list of all the episodes (I generally follow The TVDB listings)… along with the best current available source?
While I have the full rips of all the DVD’s and BluRays I still have to go through and properly name them and see what to replace with my current King Turd collection.
This is a hard set to put together as some rips/sources have single episodes, double episodes, with/without music videos.I have put together an excel sheet of all the various best sources. But a lot of the TV captures and tapes used to make King Turd are not publicly available. It’s thousands of files.
But more importantly, the list becomes more obsolete every couple of weeks. We are still in the early stage of paramount uploading the full episodes. We will need to reassess everything when they finally finish, but we have only had a couple dozen episodes released over 5 weeks so far. What they have listed as seasons 9 to 11 are just the Mike Judge Collection DVDs of chopped up episodes.
If you are looking through the DVDs to find episodes that are better than King Turd, I wouldn’t bother. No new DVDs have come out since KT v2. They used the Mike Judge Collection, etc. A few rips have surfaced that can help get rid of logos. But again, we probably need to wait about a year until paramount finishes releasing the whole series.
The Paramount episodes aren’t perfect. Some of the music videos suffer from conversion to progressive scan. Some of the broadcast tapes they’re using have dot crawl analog noise, and so on. But it will give us a lot of material to use for upgrades. It was already looking like we could remove just about every logo, but that should become a whole lot easier in time.
Well, the BluRays are definitely the nicest but only about 15 episodes. Do you know if there are plans for any more BluRay releases?
Does Paramount have a release schedule or is it just a wait and see sort of thing?
Do you happen to have a source for the KingTurd V3 set? I’ve had mine for years so I’m sure it’s version 2.KT is version 2. The above discussion was about making a v3 someday using these new sources.
Season 8 is on Blu-ray because it was made in 2011, digitally, in HD.
These paramount+ episodes aren’t remastered in the sense that they’re scanning any film in HD. They aren’t even using the master analog tapes, but rather specific broadcast masters. So they’re nowhere near Blu-ray quality, but the benefit is that they include the music videos and scenes that would become censored (depending on which tapes they use!).
Oh, and paramount is a wait and see thing. They release Thursday, early morning, every 2 or 3 weeks. 4 to 9 episodes at a time, so far.
so the episodes that are available already, are there any past edits that still apply?
They’re mostly season 7 episodes, and a couple season 4 and 5 episodes. So far, no, not edited. As I mentioned, Woodshop has the cut parts intact. Late Night with Butt-Head has the Letterman portion intact. But those would have been DVD edits rather than broadcast edits. Off the top of my head, I’m not sure if any they’ve posted so far were censored on their original MTV run.
I’m particularly curious about Comedians if/when it surfaces
Well they added Sporting Goods today and it is the censored version, so that is a pretty bad sign.
What was censored?
The original opening scene only aired once: bnb had a lighter and praying mantis. They reanimated it to have two dueling mantises.

Definitely. Comedians is the most famous example, so maybe they’ll pay attention for that one. They are doing some S3 episodes next week, so fingers crossed. So far, they are using broadcast masters (they have the pooled credits from multiple episodes, and you can hear the start of the commercial bumper).
But it’s not clear yet if they’re just pulling whatever they find first, or if they’re paying enough attention to make sure they will be the most unedited versions. Based on what we can see about the episode pairings (the credits, for instance) it isn’t always the first airing they’re using.

I originally just had the King Turd collection… although not V3 that was mentioned above I don’t think… I’m actually not totally sure which I have and it’s not mentioned in the included Word file.
But I also have the DVD rips, Mike Judge Collection (I downloaded these from Amazon with a Paramount+ subscription, Blu Ray rips, etc.Ok, so edit as I’m typing this.
I just looked it up and there are many more episodes for me to get through Amazon. They have episodes from seasons 4 though 11 using Paramount… I’m acquiring all of these as I type.
First one I got was S04E02 Cow Tipping that is mentioned above.
Definitely much sharper quality than the existing one I had… the Metallica on Beavis’ shirt is much more clear… better colors etc.
Also the file is longer at 11:35 compared to the King Turd copy at 10:49
Although my Amazon (Paramount rip) is only 173 meg compared to the King Turd at 282 meg it is much better.So has anyone put together a definitive list of all the episodes (I generally follow The TVDB listings)… along with the best current available source?
While I have the full rips of all the DVD’s and BluRays I still have to go through and properly name them and see what to replace with my current King Turd collection.
This is a hard set to put together as some rips/sources have single episodes, double episodes, with/without music videos.
I have put together an excel sheet of all the various best sources. But a lot of the TV captures and tapes used to make King Turd are not publicly available. It’s thousands of files.
But more importantly, the list becomes more obsolete every couple of weeks. We are still in the early stage of paramount uploading the full episodes. We will need to reassess everything when they finally finish, but we have only had a couple dozen episodes released over 5 weeks so far. What they have listed as seasons 9 to 11 are just the Mike Judge Collection DVDs of chopped up episodes.
If you are looking through the DVDs to find episodes that are better than King Turd, I wouldn’t bother. No new DVDs have come out since KT v2. They used the Mike Judge Collection, etc. A few rips have surfaced that can help get rid of logos. But again, we probably need to wait about a year until paramount finishes releasing the whole series.
The Paramount episodes aren’t perfect. Some of the music videos suffer from conversion to progressive scan. Some of the broadcast tapes they’re using have dot crawl analog noise, and so on. But it will give us a lot of material to use for upgrades. It was already looking like we could remove just about every logo, but that should become a whole lot easier in time.
Well Paramount+ went live with their episodes today. The main bad news is that it seems they will be very staggered, with only a few released so far.
The great news is that they are uncensored (see Woodshop), with music videos, intros, and credits more or less intact. A few nitpicks about some of those things, but generally they’ve released some good material. Cow Tipping has never been released on home video, and only low quality versions were available. Quality looks good, with some dust, specs, and small scratches occasionally present from the film.
These seem to come from broadcast masters. In addition to the Woodshop lack of censorship, there is a trace of the commercial bumper left in Cow Tipping.
Does this mean king turd v3 can be improved with P+ episodes?
Absolutely. They’ve already upgraded Cow Tipping, Woodshop, and Buttbutt Hike with the mere 7 episodes they’ve added. Plus Black Hole Sun and possibly some of the other music videos. Now without channel logos.
This is big, and hopefully many more will be added. It could end up being more about how the sources used to make KT (which I do have available) can patch a few spots in P+.
All 200 eps are supposed to be coming out on it soon enough.
Yeah, staggered this summer. The caveat is that I don’t think Paramount has ever said all episodes. >200 has been said, but that already includes some of s8 (there are 222 including S8).
So, there could be some small wiggle room for a few they really don’t want to air. And maybe a few music videos won’t make the cut. But it should be a ton of good content.
It’s also possible some edits would be baked in anyway to whatever masters they’re using because supposedly MTV altered the actual finished masters themselves in some episodes
That’s the rumor at least. I feel like this kind of information, even when from official sources, can be a bit dubious at times.
But I don’t think it will necessarily be a problem. They’re not scanning the 35mm master of the story portion of the episodes, they seem to be going to the broadcast copies, which makes sense if they want the music video portions (likely edited entirely on video) intact.
So all this means is that they need to use a broadcast version that’s not censored, and there may be a few to choose from. For example, in their Cow Tipping version, you can hear the start of the commercial bumper (this one) before a scene change. And a few different commercial bumpers existed for this episode, so there are probably a few broadcast tapes they could have chosen from, if they’ve still got them all. The same may be true for earlier, edited episodes.
Guess we will see.

This should be big for getting some episodes and scenes that were never available in decent quality, and hopefully many more will be added.
