In the late eighties, MTV began developing and airing non-video programming, such as the news program ''The Week in Rock'' and the game show ''Remote Control''. In the early nineties, animated programming made its first appearance on the channel in the form of Liquid Television. Arguably MTV's most popular animated program to date was [[Beavis and Butt-head (TV series)|Beavis and Butthead]], first aired in 1993, and from which ''Daria'' was spun off.
