MTV2’s original animated comedy series, The Adventures of Chico & Guapo, makes its home video debut today as another edgy cartoon duo, Beavis and Butt-Head, celebrate the 10th anniversary of their theatrical debut.
The Adventures of Chico & Guapo: The Complete First Season Uncensored is a two-disc set containing all eight episodes of the series which originated as a segment on The Orlando Jones Show. Created by Jones and scribes P.J. Pesce and Paul D’Acri, the series is set in a New York City recording studio and follows the comic misadventures of two hapless interns striving to get ahead in the music business by any means necessary. DVD bonus features include 16 original Chico & Guapo segments from Jones’ erstwhile talk show, promos, animated storyboards, production art, the director’s cut of the episode ‘The Gift’ and original scripts. Released by Paramount Home Entertainment, the disc retails for $26.99.
While Mike Judge’s latest live-action comedy, Idiocracy, isn’t getting the theatrical release it deserves, his 1996 feature effort, Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, is getting some DVD love from Paramount. Fans can now pick up the 10th anniversary special collector’s edition, which offers commentary by Judge and animation director Yvette Kaplan, as well as a retrospective featurette titled The Pig Picture, a music featurette titled We’re Gonna Score!, a montage of characters getting smacked around, TV spots directed by Judge and MTV News ‘Celebrity Shorts.” The disc carries a suggested retail price of $19.99.
