Ren and Stimpy (And John K) Returning?

An Anonymous reader writes "The comedy duo Ren and Stimpy will be returning to our TV screens on TNN. Seems John Kricfalusi, the creator of Ren and Stimpy, has inked a deal with TNN to show old episodes, new episodes and at least one never release episode which Nickelodeon squashed because it was too violent." Here's hoping that its true- I wonder if John K will reclaim Ren's voice from Billy West.

    The guy who does the voices of Ren and Stimpy (Billy West?) is also the voice for Fry in Futurama.

    Part of me wonders if we messed up our petition to get Futurama back and got Ren and Stimpy back instead. You eeeeeeeeeeeeediots!

    We talked to two other retired members of MTV's production team, who insisted on anonymity.

    Man #1: Yeah, it was great, they'd be all like [wren voice] "Space Madness," and then, all the chicks watching would go crazy and they'd flash their boobs. I'd totally score! Heh heh, heh heh.
    Man #2: Shut up, fart knocker, that's not what happened. [Smacks other interviewee in the back of the head.] Cause, like, it's on Kid's TV and kids don't have boobs. Heh heh, heh heh.
    Man #1: Oh yeah. [Joins in laughter.]

    The good and new comes from no quarter where it is looked for, and is always something different from what is expected.

    Yeah, cut versions of movies, the A-Team, Miami Vice and of course, Wrassling by Vince McMahon. Now you know you're dealing with a classy channel.
