Ren, Stimpy, Beavis, Butthead, Adult Swim... you can thank Liquid Television for paving the way for groundbreaking indie-style animation. Essentially a collection of bizarre animated skits, Liquid Television pushed the public's acceptance of animation past "just cartoons". Aside from giving a national stage to many of the world's most prolific animators including Bill Plympton, Mike Judge, and Peter Chung, the show also featured the genesis of two extremely popular franchises in Judge's "Beavis and Butthead" and Chung's "Æon Flux."
