Ren & Stimpy Marathon, Part two was shown on Monday from 10pm-11:30pm.
They showed:
  
  5. Marooned/Nature Show
  6. Black Hole/Stimpy's Inventions
  7. In the Army/"Butchered" Big House Blues


I was a >bit< annoyed that they didn't show Powdered-Toast Man with "In
the Army".  I was also a bit suprised that they only had a 1+1/2hrs.  I
guess Tuesday & Wednesday will also be 1&1/2hrs too.

I REALLY had hoped MTV would show the episodes Nickalodean no longer show.

Which intro?  The "Hey Stimpy, what's on TV tonight" one?  If so, the several

Nick's decisions to cut episodes in part or wholly, however misguided, is not
censorship. The whole idea of freedom of speech/press/expression to me is, Nick
has the right to show or not show whatever they want, and you, the viewer, have
the right to watch or not watch. Censorship would be if the government told
Nick they couldn't show something. Appropriate responses to TV networks doing
something you  don't like include: changing the channel, shutting off the tube,
canceling your cable subscription ( and letting the local co. know why),
writing a letter to Nick, writing a letter to the sponsor(s) threatening to
never buy their product again, etc. (What do you mean Blammo isn't a real
company?)

I really get annoyed when refusal to broadcast, print, fund or sponsor by a
private corp. is labeled "censorship." The Constitution guarantees you the
right to write or say whatever you want, it doesn't require anybody else to pay
for it, buy it, read it, watch it, etc. Censorship DOES occur: witness the
FCC's recent ruling against radio talk-show host Howard Stern. The other side
of it is parents' groups running to the govt. to regulate TV shows and
advertising: didn't they ever hear of shutting off the damn TV if they don't
like what the kids are watching? Everybody's for freedom of expression until
something offends THEM - then they cry for the govt. to censor it.

BTW - There are Ren&Stimpy episodes I personally would hesitate to let my kids
watch (if I had kids). But then I've never considered R&S a kids' show.

MTV has changed its recording and the times for the marathon are now as

So don't wash those lederhosen, keep them nice and steenky, just the way you

Ranger, has a bad cold and is going to be rubbing his lederhosen down with
all the lung butter he's been coughing up.  I only offer this information

The closest to the Toronto/Hamilton area where you'll find R'n'S 
merchandise is most likely Niagara Falls/Buffalo.  As far as I know, 
there's not yet any Canadian distribution for the dolls, watches, 
t-shirts, etc. since R'n'S has only been on MuchMusic up here for a couple 
of months.  However, since R'n'S seems to be doing rather well on Much, 
I'd expect to see the stuff hit the stores here within the next few 
months.

I could be wrong but the way I heard it was "EVERY EPISODE EVER MADE".  Then
they said that for the grand finale on Thursday they would show an episode
never before shown.  My guess is that this will be "Man's Best Friend".  
They've got this great episode lying around, nothing to do with it.  Why not
show it on MTV?  Hell, why not make a whole big deal out of it and show all
the episodes?  They made it sound like they would be showing them all,
including "Out West", "Powdered Toast Man", etc...  Let's hope they don't wimp
out!  Also, I thought they said that it would start Thursday at 10:00 PM.
