  I too am one of the few and proud that thoroughly enjoyed ITA.  I'd give
  it a 7 (where the LAST season's episodes average out to be a 7.5).

   I'm surprised more people aren't disappointed with "Ren's Toothache".
  Although it grows on me the more I watch it, I really thought it lacked
  to be good solid episode.  Save the GREAT sound effects in the episode
  (like Ren's reaction to opening his birthsay present).

What the @#$%?

I'd never caught Big House Blues before last night, and I was
delighted with both my good fortune in finally seeing it and with
the quality of the segment itself. The problem is, even though I
knew the segment had been edited, I was still jarringly,
frustratingly shocked when BHB ended immediately after Stimpy's
announcement of his pleasure at receiving his first material
possession. What the heck was going on? There was no standard
closure of any sort, at least to my weak little brain. Is this
the way BHB has always ended? OR did Nick just run out of time
and decide to cut the episode wherever it was convenient. They
didn't have to run the three mini segments last night, if time
was a consideration. :-(

Will someone enlighten me, please?

I compared the two characters with my VCR, and I think they are the same. The 
beard is exremely distinctive, and identical between the two characters.
As for the resemblance between Muddy and The Yak? To each their own...

I remember the Three Stooges episode; however, if you look at the
way the bull is drawn, and the background, the barn, etc. it is
classic WB style and there were several Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck
cartoons that used this same premise to end the short. Yes the
Three stooges came first, but WB used it as well and to great
advantage...

Squeak I tell you! Sqeak...

I'm glad that it is made by a Canadian! It brings a little extra spice to
the proceedings. But, it was made by a Canadian who lives in the US, and
was made for an American Cable network, and with American money.
Very glad to hear that Ren and Stimpy is being Re-Patriated, so to speak,
in Canada. I hope that someday, Everyone, everywhere, will be able to
behold the wonder that is Ren and Stimpy.

Organization: University Of Kentucky, Dept. of Math Sciences

Yes, Friends! It may or may have not occured to anyone before,
but The Ren and Stimpy Show has had not one, BUT TWO guest
appearances by the First SubGenius Family of Jehovah-1,
J. R. "BoB" Dobbs and his wife, Connie! They appear first in
the 1st season episode, "The Boy Who Cried Rat!" as the
married couple with the pipe-smoking, lazy slob husband and his
wife of the Holy-Church-Of-Donna-Reed Clench, Connie, dressed
in the height of 50's television mom fashion.
 
The second appearance of BoB and Connie is in the R&S 2nd season
episode, "Rubber Nipple Salesmen". This one focuses more on the
slackly nature of BoB and Connie. Again, BoB wears only his underwear
and socks with garters and slippers. Connie, again is in her holy
robes of the worship of Donna Reed! It also is meant to be the first
taste of SubGenius propoganda that John Krisfalusi will give to
the viewers of Nickelodeon!
 
I will post further updates of any more Dobbs Sightings on
Ren & Stimpy! And remember, KEEP ON SLACKING!!!! ;)

  Here's the lineup for the 8-21 show, for those who missed

   REN'S TOOTHACHE ***
   Sugar Frosted Milk ***
   Ask Dr. Stupid -- Beans ***
   (Butchered) Big House Blues
   Log For Girls

   *** indicates new episodes

   Well, I guess I'll be the first to spill the first mitochondria...

   I thought the new episodes absolutely SUCKED.

  True True True. Ren's Toothache was one of the most twisted and sickest
  cartoons to date. Unfortunately, it was also the least funniest episode
  to date as well.
     What's really sad about it all is that there were GOOD ideas too.
  The Nerve Ending Fairy, the Tooth Beaver, the flies in Stimpy's litter
  box, etc.  But the execution was absolute shit.
     The main problem is that the episode moved too slowly.  The scenes
  with the beaver and the flies complaining about Ren's mouth went on TOO
  long, that whole 2 minute scene could have been done in 15 or 20 seconds.
  This episode teaches an important lesson: SICK is not necessarily equal to
  FUNNY.
     Though I DID think the fairy music played backwards was a bit eccentric.

   "Sugar Frosted Milk" was also lacked in getting laughs, although just
   the LOOKS of that little boy at the end, was quite amusing.

   "Ask Dr. Stupid" was never one of my favorite drop-ins, and this one
   confirmed why it wasn't.  The patented Stupomitron Helmet was a bit odd:
  A normal Helmet with a bear's paw on top on it.  Activiting it required
  a poke in the eye.... Huh?


   Then of course BBHB and Log for Girls.  Ending the show with a Log
  commercial wasn't exactly a prime move as well.


   Summary: Rejects nights.  All the new episodes and drop-ins seemed to be
 rejects from the last season.


  I'm surprised many people enjoyed Ren's Toothache.  Perhaps I should give
  it another chance.  But Ren's Toothache left a pretty bad first impression.

                                                                    K!z!K

The one that still makes me laugh after seeing it dozens of times
is in "Stimpy's Invention" right after Ren says "I'm losing my
patience!".  His jaw clenches and his lips pop inward just like a
2-year-old threatening to hold his breath.

>Favorite Stimpy facial expression

My fave is a set of similar expressions, several of which are in
"Nurse Stimpy", where he lets us know that he isn't as stupid as
Ren thinks he is, such as when he shows us the All-Purpose Icky-

I saw Ren the other day!

I was walking down the street, and this woman was walking towards me
walking a rat.  Which became a dog on closer inspection.  I stopped to
pet it, and asked her what kind of dog it was.  After she told me it
was a chihuahua, I just had to ask, "Is it an asthma hound chihuahua by
any chance?"  I was fully prepared to be laughed at, because I had had
no idea that there really was such a creature.  But she said that yes,
her precious little Fifi (or whatever) was indeed an asthma hound
chihuahua!  They look just like Ren, too - tiny, tiny, brown dogs,
with pointy ears and scrawny little legs.

Pretty neat, huh?
