Ren and Stimpy (And John K) Returning?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-want-my-ice-cream-bar dept.

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.

    Ren and Stimpy provided fodder for an entire age demographic's elementary school dirty jokes. I count myself as one of those few. I still think back to the days of "Don't Pee on the Electric Fence" and "You iideot!" follwed by a violent slap. I'm suprised Nickelodeon allowed the show to even air. Godspeed Ren and Stimpy.

    TNN is owned by Viacom, the owners of cable networks like Nickeldeon, MTV/VH1, and CBS. Star Trek is owned by Paramount, which is a subsidary of Viacom. You guess it, Viacom is a media giant like AOL Time Warner and News Corp.
