MTV is having a blast from the past.
Starting August 1, VH1 Classic is changing to MTV Classic, and will feature a mix of all your favorite MTV shows from the 1990s and early 2000s.
The rebranding takes place exactly 35 years to the day that MTV first launched. To start it off, the channel will be airing "MTV Hour One," MTV's first hour of programming from 1981, at 6:00 a.m.
Additionally, the channel will show "The TRL Decade," a retrospective documentary about "Total Request Live," a marathon of "MTV Unplugged" episodes, and primetime airings of iconic shows, including "Daria,""Cribs," and "Laguna Beach."
"From 'Beavis & Butt-Head to 'Laguna Beach,' MTV's programming vault is a music and pop culture goldmine with universal resonance," MTV president Sean Atkins said in a statement. "MTV Classic gives audiences a modern and artful home for classic MTV programming and alongside MTV, MTV2, MTV Live and mtvU — rounds out a diverse portfolio with music and youth culture at its core."

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.
