One of the newest HBO series, Barry, set off on its maiden voyage recently. Joining it was a returning favorite, Silicon Valley, which kicked off its fifth season.

Fans of the shows, new and old, didn’t have to spend much time worrying about whether or not there would be future seasons, as HBO recently announced that they have ordered both Barry season two and Silicon Valley season six.

For the latest installment of their “Things You (Probably) Didn’t Know” YouTube series, CineFix has dug up nine fun facts related to Beavis and Butt-Head Do America.

The animated movie starred and was co-written and co-directed by Mike Judge, and was based on his MTV animated comedy Beavis and Butt-Head. Some of the fun facts include voice actor cameos, problems with what producers wanted such as live-action over animated and Judge voicing the characters, and the always dreaded censorship (though it was probably for the best in this particular case).

One of the running jokes in Mike Judge’s cult classic comedy Office Space comes at the expense of the unfortunately named character Michael Bolton (played by David Herman).

Now Michael Bolton—the real Michael Bolton—has helped to recreate some of the scenes from Office Space with himself now playing the character Michael Bolton. Indeed, this is something you’d think would have happened many years ago, but hey, better late than never.

A pair of HBO’s 30-minute original comedy series have officially been given new seasons.

Silicon Valley, the new series from Office Space director and Beavis and Butt-Head and King of the Hill creator Mike Judge, has been given a second season order. The show follows a group of programmers trying to make it big in Silicon Valley, and is partially inspired by Judge’s own experiences working there as an engineer in the ’80s.

HBO’s Game of Thrones is more popular than ever, as it should be.

The numbers are in for the season four premiere of the show last night, and they’re big. The initial 9 p.m. broadcast scored 6.6 million viewers, up 2.2 million from the show’s season three premiere of 4.4 million.

Not only was this the most watched episode of Thrones so far, but it was also the second-most-watched episode of any HBO show, coming in right behind the 2007 series finale of The Sopranos, which landed 11.9 million viewers.

In case you missed it, HBO released a trailer a couple of days back for Silicon Valley, the new show from Beavis and Butt-Head and King of the Hill creator and Office Space and Idiocracy director Mike Judge.

The show is set during the high-tech gold rush of Silicon Valley, and stars Thomas Middleditch, TJ Miller, Zach Woods, Kumail Nanjiani, Martin Starr, Josh Brener, Christopher Evan Welch, and Amanda Crew.

HBO is solidifying their upcoming schedule, with the announcement of various start dates for both returning and new shows.

Of the many shows they’ve set dates for, the big one is of course season four of Game of Thrones. We’ve all known that it would premiere sometime in late March or early April. This is now confirmed with word that the fourth season will indeed begin on Sunday, April 6th at 9 p.m. EST.

HBO has ordered a pilot for another possible comedy series titled Silicon Valley. The live-action show comes from Mike Judge, who’s best know as the creator of Beavis and Butt-Head and co-creator of King of the Hill, along with fellow King of the Hill executive producers John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky.

The show is set in Silicon Valley, and follows the people that are “most qualified to succeed,” but are also the “least capable of handling success.”

More than once I questioned why the hell I was viewing Jackass 3. Of course I’m familiar with the television series, though I’ve never really identified myself as being a part of the cult fan-base of the Jackass collective. Having said that though, Jackass 3 is a humorous detour from the usual suspects to be found on Netflix Streaming, with some excellent cinematography in places – though be warned: there are many numerous scenes with intent to disgust.

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, Beavis and Butt–Head are back, and they may just be better than ever before. A panel was held at the 2011 San Diego Comic–Con for the return of the MTV series, which was moderated by Jackass star Johnny Knoxville and featured creator Mike Judge.

Attendees of the panel were treated to some clips from the show’s return, which will premiere this fall. The first clip showed the duo deciding that they needed to become vampires and werewolves in order to score some chicks after they saw Twilight. Also shown were bits from an episode called “Holy Cornholio,” which shouldn’t need much description for fans of the show to know exactly what to expect in said episode.

Now you can see almost five minutes worth of clips from the Cornholio episode courtesy of MTV by clicking on over to the other side now!
