     I'm supposed to be transcribing videotapes here, but my curiosity compelle
d me to snoop around on e-mail for a bit.  Anyway, I thought I was the only Ren
 and Stimpy fanatic, but it seems I'm highly mistaken.  My vote for the WORST
Ren & Stimpy episode would be Haunted House (I didn't laugh once, mostly I felt
 a sense of disappointment rather than enjoyment).  However, Dog Show is a very
close second for me, Ren and Stimpy seemed to be misplaced in the episode and
George stole the limelight - I'm looking forward to new John K. productions;
but "what'll we do 'till then?!", watch bad imitations or worn out re-runs of
the so-called 'dead' duo?

Hmmmm! This is under the wrong subject category, sorry, but here goes...
My vote for the worst R & S is the Robin Hoek, auughhhhh! Alot of the recent
ones are pretty lousy as well. Are we going to be stuck with a steady stream
of mediocrity? Will the sheer genius in Space Madness ever come again?

Hey! I just saw Haunted House and Mad Dog Hoek for the 1st time!
I loved when Ren bit the wrestler and the puss came out of his toe!
GRIN! Now all I haven't seen: Son of Stimpy, Sven Hoek, PTM (I've seen
the short 30 sec ads for PT, but i hear there's a 15 minuter

PS: I got both Ren and Stimpy dolls for my birthday! I love them!

Attention Ren and Stimpy fans!!!
It is time for your first update on the VOTE AGAIN! poll. For those who are
unaware!, I am taking a new poll on which was the WORST episode of R&S. 
The Response has been good, but I want more. I want each and every one of you
to email me a vote. Vote for your pals if you'd like, but please keep it 
accurate!

And Now, the EARLY Results...

1) The Littlest Giant
2) Haunted House
3) Mad Dog Hoek
   Big Baby Scam (tie)
4) Eight episodes tied w/ 1 vote

The Littlest Giant has broken away with a large early lead. I must confess that
I felt this was the odds on favorite, but you can prove me wrong. I have been
getting a regular response regarding Mad Dog Hoek "good Idea, Poor execution"
Haunted House is in 2nd place and can catch up with a rally. The tied episodes
are Son of Stimpy, Dog Show, In the Army, Stimpy's Big Day/Big Shot, Robin Hoek
(?), Nurse Stimpy(?!), Powdered Toast Man(!?!), and Stimpy's Invention(?!?!).
It is interesting to see such a wide field. Thankfully, no one voted for
Space Madness!

Please email me those Votes. Feel free to post any comments on the update.

C'mon man!

About those TMs on the calendar.."No sir, I don't like 'em". I only
realized now because I was too busy preparing for Liederhosen Pride Day

According to the Film Threat interview with John K., George makes 2 cameos
during the first season.   I believe this is supposed to be one of them.
The other is Robin Hoeck.    (GL is the Sheriff of Nottingham).

The trash quote is very George-ish.  I just hope JK is serious about a 
GLA cartoon!

Brother,

You fail to grasp the meaning of Ren and Stimpy.

Approach that you may see.

Boot to the head.

Whooomp...thump!

I feel entertained by R&S. I am rarely shocked. Take a chill pill.
Don't analyse so much. Enjoy something for a channge.

That little story leaves me with the impression that Billy West thinks

MTV lied!   Like several others, I have a bad 3rd generation copy of
"Man's Best Friend".  (I got it from a friend, who had obtained from
someone out here in Usenet-land).  It is clearly the favorite of every
person I've shown it to.    
  
I suspect that there were several other episodes which were finished, also.

Actually, the episode you are thinking of is "The Boy Who Cried Rat" (I
just watched it last night on tape).  And altho the character you are
referring to is very similar to GL,A (short, stocky), I don't think you
can definitely say it's the same character.  For one thing, the voice is
definitely different - GL,A's voice is low and harsh (I mention this because
I think it's his voice which really gives this guy character).

I have a question.  Some months ago, I got a list of episodes for RNS, 
which I have been checking off as I've experienced them.  After the recent 
MTV-every-episode-ever-made marathon, there are still some missing.  Were 
these meant to be made, but were not finished when John K. left, or did 
something more insidious happen?

Man's best friend			Fake dad
Kilted yaksmen				Visit to Anthony
The cat that laid the golden hairball	To salve or salve not
A yard too far				Stimpy's fan club
Lair of the Lummox -- Untamed world 2	Monkey see, monkey don't
The great outdoors			

(and 3 to "look for in the third season")

I didn't print the list out entirely, the author is unknown, but he or she 
got the descriptions of all the episodes I've seen right.

Anyone??!?!?!

In the unedited version of "Dog Show," his name appears at the top of the
screen as he says it.  (The Nickelodeon version zooms in closer on George
so that the words aren't visible, and replaces the spoken word "Liquor"
with a record-scratch sound.)  As I recall, the way the name appears is
"GEORGE LIQUOR, AMERICAN," so it seems like "American" isn't his last name,
it's just a word he uses to describe himself, sort of like "Pastor Toastman,
the cool youth deacon."

   for both of the actors who have portrayed Watson, so this would seem to be a
   widespread opinion.

I haven't heard this before (of course, my only contact with this
whole world is right here in this newsgroup...) -- what are the
objections to Brett?  Which other Holmes is preferred?  In my nearly
uneducated opinion, Brett is exactly the Holmes I picture when reading
Doyle...

	The policy definitely has changed, although I don't have specific
dates; I recall Phil Shreffler (who just stepped down as editor of the "Baker
Street Journal") telling us all about it at a Noble Bachelors meeting a year
or two ago.
	In any case, Phil (and several other BSIs) will be in attendance at
the Noble Bachelors' annual Holmes birthday do tomorrow night (for which I
and a fellow actor-type are preparing a presentation), so I'll make a point
of getting the gory details.

	So were many of us.
