Ren and Stimpy (TV): TV Guide reports that Viacom have
hired the show's creator John Kricfalusi to create new
episodes (starting with a feature-length film) of the series
for cable station TNN. The programs will air next year.

reliable source, check:
http://www.darkhorizons.com/news.htm

this is very exciting news for me because I am a huge fan of
the show =)

Hmm... well they never went away, on the Cartoon Netwerk
this whole time.... ? But I guess you wouldnt get that in
Iceland.

yeah ..well. they stopped making the shows in 1995.
nickelodeon fired John K (the creator) after the 2 season.

IMO the show had gone downhill when they lost John
Kricfalusi. Glad to see he is back at the helm :)

John K. himself did the voices for Ren. Billy West did the
voice for stimpy. when John was fired Billy ended up with
the voice of Ren. Nobody does Ren better than John, he IS
Ren :Þ

i think they will work together again. why wouldn't they?
I'm sure Billy West would be thrilled to do it. I couldn't
imagine anyone else doing the voice for Stimpy.

becuase of this topic last night i had this dream: ren and
stimpy won a brit award (UK version of grammy for the
unfamiliar) but not for a song they sung, but for producing
a Strokes song. only, the song is hidden on their album and
no one in the UK has been able to find the hidden track ren
& stimpy produced. it's supposed to be some ridiculous cover
tune. anyway, it was just weird. a week ago i had a dream
where xltronic came to life in form of dracula's castle and
phobiazero was a real life count dracula, and he invited me
there to terrible things to me. i kid you not.

rocko is played on the alternate nick channels if you have
satellite. i don't, but my cousins do. they also have pete &
pete on there! i wish i had satellite.

last summer, vh1 played r & s episodes from 12 to 1 am,
hosted by none other than billy west himself! it was way
sweet, unfortunate i didn't tape them.


 

offline Q4Z2X on 2003-04-08 17:27 [#00639555]
Points: 5264 Status: Lurker



yeah i see rocko on every once and while. pete and pete is
great, but it's on a different channel.
ever notice how they allways take all the best shows, that
are just reaching their prime, off the air for several
years, then rerun them years later on some crappy channel at
some random time?

yep, always seems that way... notice the original back to
the future cartoon is on the fox box now?

either that or they re-do the show entirely! ie: ninja
turtles, transformers... im waiting for them to fuck up
thundercats, hopefully the day will never come.

yay!

John: "TNN called me up and said, How'd ya like to do new
episodes of Ren & Stimpy? It's my favorite characters, so of
course I wanna do it. It's been about ten years since we
made the last Ren & Stimpy, so we dug up some of the old
stories that never did get produced; some of the ones that
were maybe a little too edgey for a kid's program, we said,
well this would be a good way to break into it this season,
and started thinking up new ideas. And then, within a
week-and-a-half we realized new ideas were a lot funnier
than the old ones. We're in primetime now, so a lot of the
censorship issues that we had to worry about when we were
doing kid's programming...are pretty much gone. The
personalities are the same personalities; Ren is still an
a$$hole, and Stimpy's still retarded. Not only will the
content be a little bit edgier

nickelodeon cancelled the show, so no more episodes of
Invader Zim. first they destroyed Ren & Stimpy by firing the
creator John K.!! and now this. they represent everything
that is evil. ARRRGGG!!!
