Well, Over the past decade, MTV has been leading the cable industry in
trying to coming out with the latest crap that you may never think
possible. Here are some of the animated shows that MTV churned out of
thier heads... huh, huh, huh, I said "head!" ( note: this list excludes
Beavis and Butt-Head because of the fact that this is about the other
animation produced by MTV)

1991 - 1993
Liquid Television (24 episodes?) - Mtv's first foray into cartoon
mortality. Originally created to showcase animated bits produced by
(Colossal Pictures) in San Fransico. The show turned to other aspects
of animation ranging from student-produced or budget-made crazies like
Beavis and Butt-Head and Crazy Dazie Ed, to independent award-winning
animation like Paul Drissien's "The Killing of an Egg" to Yashiaki
Kawajiri's "The Running Man."
A videotape was produced featuring some of the bits from this series
under Sony Music Entertainment.

1994
The Brothers Grunt (13 episodes?) - Mtv's answer to Beavis and
Butt-Head. Originally produced as a 10 second ID by Danny Attonucci, a
great canadian animator form Vancouver's International Rocketship
Limited. This bidt plunged him to form his own studio oddly named
"a.k.a. Cartoons," MTV gave him the OK to produced 13 or so episodes ot
this sick and twisted cartoon that was too much like a Beavis and
Butt-head clone to begin with. It concerns the search of a lost "Chosen
One" Perry, who flee the monistary of white pale, boxer shorts/wing-tip
wearing, freakish society that has it's own religion, facts of life, and
bizzare natives. In order to find Perry, the great Poo Bah sent out
five of his friends to find him, they are Bing, Dean Sammy, ehh,,, I
forget the other two. The show was quite amusing, but it had music
videos running through it. It is not available on video, so look out in
the black market like I do.

Dec 1994-Mar 1995
The Head (13 episodes)-
Based on a short by Eric Fogel, this story was about a guy named Jim who
one day finds his head big like a cone and containing a alien inside who
helps him to save the world, help his boring life, and such. Part of the
MTV show "MTV's Oddities" This video is available on video in
feature-legth form. In 1996 there were 13 more episodes that were
produced for featuring differnt adventures, these are not on videoleagally.

April 1995
The Maxx (13 episodes) - Originally based on the comic book of the same
name by a non-mtv artist, this animated version revolves around the life
and complexitites of a blue super hero who dosen't know why he exist in
both worlds and other weird complicated stuff. The animated version has
been criticized for not conforming to the comic book itself since the
book hasn't ended itself at the time. This show is available on video.

Summer 1995
Aeon Flux (10 episodes) - Originally produced as shorts for Liquid
Television by Peter Chung, this series delts with the romance, suspence,
drama, and the perils of Aeon, a agent from the struggling nation of
Monica. She tries to get her job done without being caught in the hands
of Tevor Goodchild, the leader of the opposing nation I forgot the name.
Most of the episodes are hard to understand the first time, and many
seem to break the continutity of the series. Numerous videos are
available of this show.

I hope this is enough information you can handle, I figure that you
already know about "Daria." Let's see if anyone can top this list?
