'''''Liquid Television''''' was an animation showcase broadcast on [[MTV]]<ref>{{cite magazine|title= What is Liquid Television |magazine=Entertainment Weekly|date=June 14, 1991|url= https://ew.com/article/1991/06/14/what-liquid-television/|access-date=November 12, 2010|first=Benjamin|last=Svetkey}}</ref> from 1991 to 1995. It launched several high-profile original [[cartoon]]s, including ''[[Beavis and Butt-Head]]'' and ''[[Æon Flux]]''.<ref>{{cite magazine |date=May 31, 1991 |title=Liquid Television |url=https://ew.com/article/1991/05/31/liquid-television/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150716173238/https://ew.com/article/1991/05/31/liquid-television/ |archive-date=July 16, 2015 |access-date=November 12, 2010 |magazine=Entertainment Weekly}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Erickson |first1=Hal |title=Television Cartoon Shows: An Illustrated Encyclopedia, 1949 Through 2003 |date=2005 |edition=2nd |publisher=McFarland & Co |isbn=978-1476665993 |pages=501–504}}</ref> Other recurring segments include "The Art School Girls of Doom",<ref name="drag">{{cite news|url=http://www.wigstock.nu/press/vanityfair11-92.html |publisher=Vanity Fair |title=Wigging Out |date=November 1992 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140325173911/http://www.wigstock.nu/press/vanityfair11-92.html |archive-date=March 25, 2014 }}</ref> ''[[The Specialists (TV series)|The Specialists]]'', and ''[[Brad Dharma|Brad Dharma: Psychedelic Detective]]''.<ref>{{cite news| url = https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1988/02/16/the-creative-journey-to-timbuktu/d7d59526-19d8-4843-84d7-21ff7aba3f70/| title = THE CREATIVE JOURNEY TO TIMBUKTU - The Washington Post| newspaper = [[The Washington Post]]}}</ref> Independent animators and artists created most of the material specifically for the show, and some previously produced segments were compiled from festivals such as [[Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation]]. 

The first season of ''Liquid Television'' also aired on [[BBC Two]] in co-production with MTV. Ultimately, MTV commissioned three seasons of the show, produced by [[Colossal Pictures]]. The show was eventually succeeded by ''[[Cartoon Sushi]]''. [[Mark Mothersbaugh]] composed the theme music.  

The show was broadcast in Canada on [[Much (TV channel)|MuchMusic]], in Asia on [[Channel V]], in Australia on [[Special Broadcasting Service|SBS]] and in New Zealand on [[TV3 (New Zealand)|TV3]].

==History==
Many animation pieces were adapted from [[Art Spiegelman]]'s comic compilation, ''[[Raw (comics magazine)|RAW]]''. ''RAW'' features underground cartoonists such as [[Mark Beyer (comics)|Mark Beyer]], [[Richard Sala]], and [[Peter Bagge]]. In particular, ''Dog-Boy'' by [[Charles Burns (cartoonist)|Charles Burns]] was based on the artist's series from ''RAW''.<ref>{{cite news|title= High-Tech MTV 'Liquid Television' shows what visual wizards can do with animation and pop culture |work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=June 9, 1991|url= https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1991-06-09-tv-709-story.html|access-date=November 12, 2010|first=Lauren|last=Lipton}}</ref>

Due to the extensive use of licensed music throughout the series (many episodes begin with a contemporary [[music video]] being "liquified"), full episodes of ''Liquid Television'' have not been broadcast since their original run.<ref name="lt_now_online">{{cite web | url=https://gizmodo.com/you-can-now-watch-all-of-mtvs-liquid-television-the-la-1820974967 | title=You Can Now Watch All of MTV's Liquid Television, the Launching Ground for Æon Flux | publisher=G/O Media | work=Gizmodo | date=December 4, 2017 | access-date=May 23, 2024 | last=Elderkin | first=Beth | quote=Unfortunately, much like MTV’s Daria, the series used a lot of licensed music, which meant it was really hard to re-release after its debut. There were a few VHS tapes, as well as one DVD release in 1997 (with another DVD release in 2005 thanks to the movie adaptation), but it had since become lost to the ages. MTV did put Liquid Television on their website in 2011, but it has since become unavailable.}}</ref> Selected segments from the series, including the debut of ''Æon Flux'', were released on two VHS tapes in the late 1990s as ''The Best of Liquid Television''.{{efn|name=oop|These have been out of print.<ref name="lt_now_online" />}} A collection volume, ''Wet Shorts (The Best of Liquid Television)'', with the content of the two VHS tapes, was released on DVD in 1997.{{efn|name=oop}}

On October 13, 2011, [[MTVX]], MTV's cross media group, announced the return of ''Liquid Television''.<ref>{{cite news|title= mtv revives liquid-television|work= [[Cartoon Brew]]|url= http://www.cartoonbrew.com/biz/mtv-revives-liquid-television-51313.html}}</ref> It became an online network. Its first content was "F**KING BEST SONG EVERRR" by [[Wallpaper (musician)|Wallpaper]], available on the website. Full-length episodes featuring the online content and all-new material were released in 2013.
