Good Vibes
Good Vibes was an animated series that aired on MTV. It followed the adventures of Mondo, a 16-year-old Jersey boy who has moved with his Hot Mom Babs to the California Beach Town of Playa Del Toro, Other characters include Woodie, Mondo's best friend, his crush Jeena, her eccentric flamboyant brother Wadska, her bullying boyfriend Turk, Woodie's Alpha Bitch of a sister Milan, sagely stoner Lonnie and Voneeta Teets, Mondo's obese Sex ed teacher.
The show was canceled by MTV in February 2012 for low ratings, possibly foreshadowing a re-cancellation of Beavis and Butthead.
