Anyone who says that MTV was ever just about ''the music'' is lying. The difference between old MTV and new MTV is that the channel's non-music programming used to be weird. That was never more true than with this animated series, which featured gonzo short films by underground cartoonists and featured the first appearance of Beavis and Butt-head (not to mention the debut of Æon Flux, still gorgeously weird almost two decades later). Liquid Television aired extremely sporadically between 1991 and 1994, but each episode is filled with utterly unique delights. —Darren Franich
