From 'Daria' to 'Cribs' - here's a look at the iconic shows MTV Classic is bringing back
The dim teenage "critics" with iconic laughs are coming back. "Beavis & Butt-Head" aired from 1993 to 1997, and the two even got their own movie in 1996.
The "Beavis and Butt-Head" spinoff, "Daria" followed the titular character, a smart and sarcastic teen, making her way through high school. It aired for five seasons from 1997 to 2002.
Hosted by Xzibit, "Pimp My Ride" took junky cars and transformed them into decked out vehicles tailored to the person's interests. At least, that was the intention. Some folks have revealed that not everything was included or even worked once they took their cars home.

Remember Mariah Carey in her penthouse bathtub? Starting back in 2000, "Cribs" took viewers into the luxurious homes of celebrities, where they showed off their shoe collections, expensive furniture, and sometimes empty fridges.
Though it was only on for three seasons, "Laguna Beach" was the teen reality show to watch in the early 2000s. The first (and best) season followed senior Lauren Conrad and her friends, like Lo Bosworth and romantic interest Stephen Colletti as they finished high school on the West Coast. Conrad eventually got her own spinoff, "The Hills."
"MTV Unplugged" began in 1989 and featured iconic musicians, such as Aerosmith, Paul McCartney, and Nirvana, performing acoustic sets.
It's hard to forget the moment Ashton Kutcher made Justin Timberlake cry on "Punk'd," and that was just one great moment from the hidden camera show. Kutcher, one of the show's co-creators, served as the host from 2003 to 2007. Fun fact: funnyman Dax Shepard got his start helping Kutcher pull off the hijinks.
Debuting in 1992, "The Real World" grabbed audiences by throwing strangers together in a house and seeing how they interacted, as they dealt with prejudice, religious differences, and sexuality The reality series was MTV's first and has been a staple for 31 seasons.
"Road Rules," which was the sister show to "Real World," threw strangers together in an RV and drove them to various locations in order to complete different tasks. It debuted in 1995.
There are only 25 episodes of "Jackass," but the crazy antics, pranks, and stunts from the cast including Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, and Steve-O sparked multiple spinoff shows and movies.
Joseph Simmons, better known as Rev. Run of Run-D.M.C. fame, had his own show debut in 2005. "Run's House" followed Run and the rest of the Simmons family in their daily lives.
MTV launched the sketch comedy show "Wonder Showzen" in 2005. The adult series only lasted a year.
There were only 16 episodes of animated sci-fi series "Aeon Flux," but the scantily-clad secret agent resulted in a graphic novel and a very loosely-based Hollywood film adaptation starring Charlize Theron.
"Clone High" was a Canadian animated series that followed students at high school that were the clones of famous figures like Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. The show was created by "The LEGO Movie" directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, along with Bill Lawrence, but was pulled after 13 episodes.
