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.

    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.

    Don't bother. Nick butchered the origninal episodes and neutered the new ones they made to fit into their kiddie vision. You can read about the whole story of how it happened here (at least as long as the bandwidth holds out). Or you can try to find the same story in pages of links (or cached) from Google
