This Monday, MTV will launch MTV Classic, a channel anyone who grew up in the 80s and 90s has wanted for a long time. Even if they didn’t realize they wanted it.
The Twitter page @MTVClassic has started going us hints about what will be on the channel, including music videos, Unplugged (can’t wait to watch Alice in Chains Unplugged again), Daria and, the sacred cow, Beavis and Butthead:

Now, don’t forget about Headbanger’s Ball in all this. Hell, I’d be cool if we ran a little TRL out there, maybe on the weekends.
This is exciting stuff. How long have we all (all of us, except maybe people who watch Teen Mom?) been clamoring for MTV to return to its roots? It’s taken them long enough, but rest assured I will fly by the channel Monday.
