The only two things I saw them take out of Dog Show, were George Liquor's last
name, and at the very end when he wins the contest, the announcer says "What a
smooth butt!" and they show the close-up of George's butt... They airbrushed
out his tailbone that was noticeable under his pants...

Stimpy has ranged from twisted inventor to extremely stupid; now he's dipped
to nearly catatonic and given Ren an opportunity for a psychotic break that
nearly had me puking with laughter.

I'd rant further on the futility of expecting continuity in cartoons, but it's
time for my appointment...

Did you notice the flaw in Dog Show? Ren had is tail bobbed by rubberband, 
but later, after the power buffing, his tail was back (in skeletal form)

It was my understanding that these George Liquor episodes are the ones
deemed questionable by Nick, and subsequently led to John K's dismissal. Is it
Nick's contention that a name and a butt tail will ruin our childrens
minds???

After reviewing the tapes, here's the list of cuts in "Dog Show". Not bad,
really, except for some stupidity.

1. George Liquor's name was edited to just "George ---------, American",
and it didn't spell out onscreen. John K. said that Nick executives were
afraid it was some sexist joke on "Lick Her", and that expalins the
removal. <Nick has no clue.>

2. At the end, when George is posing for the Judege, the Judge screams
"What A Smooth Butt!!", and we get a quick picture of George's 
smooth butt. In the original, he had a tail stump bulging up and this
has been removed.

I thought that the "winetasting" of Periwinkle by Mr. Horse went on a little
longer originally, but I was wrong.

There ya go.

Apparently so, although the violence level in the other George Liquor episode
"Man's Best Friend" is way up. Course, that is where most of the humor is
coming from. Yeah, since I saw the unedited "Dog Show", my life has 
been hell, I can't afford enough crack, and I am haunted by strange voices
in my head, telling me to kill everyone I see. B}
Yeah right!

	I don't know, I like to idea behind Mad Dog Hoek, but it just
seem to me that it was laboring between each funny moment.  I remember
when I saw the first season's episodes, I could hardly breath between
each eruption of laughter.

	As for tonite's episodes: "The Big Baby Scam, and "Dog show", I 
felt they were rather flat.  Those episodes just seemed almost devoid of 
life to me.  I was told that in the original version of Dog Show, they
played up George Liquor's "Americanism"  more.  Unless I am mistaken, 
they even censored his last name.  Very disappointing...

Yeah, but for a while, using games by anyone but Nintendo voided your

You've GOT to be kidding! You're sure we're thinking of the same Sven Hoek? The
Star Trek V of the R&S set? They totally mis-characterized Stimpy! I mean, ok,
he's stupid, but he's not catatonic! I think we should just categorize SV as
an extreme nightmare of Ren's, and then just be quiet and hope it'll go away.

Since when has even the characterization been consistent? The lack of

Yeah, this was a nice return to form, IMHO. Except that "Dog Show" was hacked.
Who directed "Big Baby Scam"? My VCR didn't get the first 20 seconds or
so of it.

Yeah, always nice to see "Bob" and "Connie" again. Love the voices!
I thought "BBS" showed a return to the kind of psychosis that endeared
the show to me originally, and "Dog Show" was disappointingly, although
not suprisingly, cut. <Anyone still needing a copy of the uncut version

Yeah, I noticed that too (censoring him name). Nickelodeon's doing, undoubtedly.
What's the matter with these people? Firtst of all, do they think R&S's 
typical watcher doesn't know what liquor is? And secondly, do they think that
having any young kids who happen to be watching (and just what kind of parent
would allow their kids to watch this perverse show?) will warp them for life,
turn them into crack fiends living on the street? This country is getting
dangerously over-concerned about what is "inappropriate" to be shown on TV...

Well, I can't say I'm always fond of Watson's titles - he continually
trivializes what should be a solid academic treatise on the fine art of
detection. But since he IS the author:
A Study in SCARLET
The RED-headed League
The Five ORANGE Pips
The Adventure of the BLUE Carbuncle
The Adventure of the SPECKLED Band (this might be considered unfair)
The Adventure of the BERYL Coronet (again, possibly unfair)

SILVER Blaze
The YELLOW Face
The Adventure of BLACK Peter
The Adventure of the GOLDEN Pince-Nez
The Adventure of teh Second STAIN (unfair again?)
The Adventure of the RED Circle
The Adventure of the BLANCHED Soldier (once again, not really fair)
The Adventure of the Retired COLOURman (now this is REALLY unfair!) ;-)

Interestingly enough, none of the chapter titles from the four novels contain
any reference to colors.

According to my source, Brett will star in several
more adventures for PBS in 1993.  Sorry, but I can't
tell you which ones.  

Perhaps you might remember him as Freddy (Eliza's

Live" from the film version of MY FAIR LADY.  Then
again, perhaps you might not.  He was, after all,
very young then.  (I was disappointed that Eliza
