I thought it was painfully obvious which scenes in "Haunted House" were
done post-John-K:  most of the beginning was very lackluster, both in
terms of writing and animation.  Something got mangled in the "starving
shaven yak" scene, I think.  But it really perked up halfway through: the
shower scene's PSYCHO tribute (the fade to B&W was hilarious!), the 
Bloody Head Fairy, Ren freaking out ("STOP SLEEPINGG!").  I started
*laughing* again at this point.  And "Mad Dog Hoek" was magnifique'.

Look, keep repeating to yourself:  "there's *no* continuity, there's
*no* continuity".  Ren-making-Stimpy-shower was likely written by John
K. before he left.

Except for "Dog Show", where George Liquor refers to stimpy as a SHE.
"Atta Girl, Rex". There is little proof either way.

And Ren vomits when he kisses Stimpy  in the uncut "Big House Blues", so
that shuld end rumors that they are gay.

So, John Camp spoke at UNC-Chapel Hill tonight and showed "Man's Best
Friend" and a new one "The Pet Show."  I imagine this has been completed
for some time as months ago TV guide stated that this was the episode to
be shown, and we were treated to a re-run (can you say "pulled at the
last monent?"  By now, I thought you could...)  He also talked about an
upcoming episode called "Ren's Brain" in which Stimpy gets tired of
experimenting on the less-than-perfect brains he finds out back of the
hospital, so he decides to use the most perfect brain he can find.  So,
while Ren is asleep, Stimpy removes it, operates on it, and gets too
tired to finish, so he puts Ren's brain in a jar until he can get a nap.
Ren's brain wakes up, exclaims "Cripes!  I'm late for work!", and hops
out the jar, puts on a hat, and heads out to work.  After a while, Stimpy
wakes up next to Ren's corpse, realizes what has happened, and
transplants Ren's kidneys into Ren's head.  Mayhem ensues.  Sounds good,
although J.C. seems to be leaning on the "Stimpy the Scientist" theme a
little.
  Scenes to look for not being included in the final cut of "The Dog
Show":
1)  Ren getting his tail bobbed via a rubber band (great rotting
sequence).
2)  Ren and Stimpy getting their coats polished with an orbital sander,
resulting in Ren's ribs and spine being exposed.
3)  An inadequate yappy dog being tossed into the jaws of a waiting dog,
who then "urps" back up the eyeballs.
Such is life.

My 2 cents worth:

Ok, so we agree that both stories had funny moments...  I thought that last
night's show was worth watching, but definitely not up to the old standard.

First and foremost, and a major gripe:  WHERE WAS DR. STUPID?  WHERE WAS THE
ENDING?  You know, 'boo hoo hoo, what'll we do 'till then'?  Unfair!

More pervasively, another gripe:  the animation was OK, but I really noticed
that Ren and Stimpy both looked, ummmm, cuter--- not as strangely drawn as
they used to be.  Ren smiled too much.  Stimpy didn't have his usual stupid
expression.  Usually, Ren looks either vacant or slightly annoyed, but this
last show he had an idiot smile pasted on his face most of the time.  I 
thought that Ren was supposed to look grotesque when he smiles, viz. "Stimpy's
Invention."

Overall, the drawing doesn't have the same unusual look to it, and I'd agree
that the humor moved more to slapstick this show.  I like the (pardon my
presumption) more cereberal gags in the earlier shows-- Ren's ravings, 
misspeakings ('no use crying over spilled mitochondria'), and the weird
zooms ('organisms').  The last show looked more like Warner Bros, which is
fine, but just not as good as it used to be.

I wonder how our overall perception of the show would have been different
if we hadn't known that John K. didn't do the animation?

-- Oh, and didn't Ren's voice seem different this show, or is it me?

If you taped it, please notice some differences between Old Man Hunger and 
the Nerve Ending Fairy.  First of all, John K. is playing with us by having men
play women's parts like these fairies.  Old Man has a drumstick for hair, while
the Nerve Ending has blond hair.  Nerve Ending has did his nails, while Old Man
has not.  Old Man has a different face shape than Nerve Ending too.

    I believe that it was said that only the final 'What will we do
till then?' segment was re-dubbed with a different voice for Ren, and
not the entire episode.

    It was also my impression that the voice was not done by John
K.  Perhaps this segment did have John's voice in it originally, but
then Nickelodeon re-dubbed it as an experiment to test a new voice.
The entire show, before this one segment, sounded fine, and I don't
think it was because of poor dubbing or voice stress.

Subject: Re: Maaaaan! That sucked!

I must say, I am in the "thumbs down" camp on these new episodes.

I especially agreed with the Marmoset,  that Haunted House crossed the
line from paying tribute to classics, into being just another formula
cartoon. The Haunted House episode could have fairly easily been a
Scooby-Doo episode, with the exception of the Yak/fish sandwich scene. 
Just replace Ren and Stimpy with Shaggy and Scooby, and it's the same
old stuff.

I also found most of the "in" jokes just sort of annoying...

I can see why some people might react to the end as a racist thing.  I
thought the rendering of the black man was very reminiscent of the way
blacks were drawn in the old cartoons, when racism was practiced far
more openly than today.  Ever seen "Coal Black and the Seben Dwarves"? 
Pretty scary.

Still, drawing a black man this way is not necessarily racist; R. Crumb
had some characters that he drew like this, but the content of some of
those cartoons was definitely anti-racist.  The bad part is, that this
is the only time I've ever seen a black character on the show, and it
was taken from one fairly offensive stereotype.  White people, in
contrast, get abused and degraded in a wide variety of ways on R-n-S.

With Mad Dog Hoek, I think that *REAL* wrestling is far more
entertaining  (with the exception of Stimpy's closing rant).

I was able to catch a C-B logo on the lower left hand corner of the box, also
with the words "Your key to fun" and a skeleton key.  This is a rip-off on
Milton-Bradley games, as "Your key to fun" was (and maybe still is) their
logo.  I didn't catch what the C-B stood for, but the next time I watch my
tape I'll be extra vigilant during that scene.

Did anyone notice that Sven, although counting to 8 in his own way, seemed
to land back on the square he started from?

	I was looking through the Ren and Stimpy issue of Film Threat
last night (looking for a grease spot, of course), and I noticed something
that I missed the first time (I don't know how). It said John K. is throwing
the idea around Hollywood for a feature length animation called The Ripping 
Friends. I was wondering if anyone out there has some kind of word as to how
John's efforts are coming. Will he devote more time and effort to it since
he is not on R-n-S anymore? If this movie makes to theaters or even video, I
will stop at nothing to see it.

  Somehow, I feel the Ren-going-mad part in "Sven Hoek" is something
  influenced by Jack Nicholson in the movie _The_Shining_, (just thinking
  off the movie makes me shout "Heeeeeeeeere's Johnny!")

  Just a blind stab.                                  K!z!K
