How about a few nice hi-res GIFs for the Red-Dwarf FTP site !!! I mean, a 3k GIF 
of the logo in brilliant red and black is all very nice, but I'm sure I'm not 
the only one who would love some hi-res, hi-colour GIF's, of logo's & episode 
scenes ... Talkie Toaster as a background bitmap ?
Just an idea ....

  I did notice that (the episode was aired here just last week).  They even

In the series four episode, (damn! I can't remember what it was called - it's
the one with Ace Rimmer in the parallel universe [Please don't say it was
called "Parallel Universes"] ), anyway, in the series four episode, Ace Rimmer
said that the one different decision that caused his and Smeghead Rimmer's

Now, just what do you think the difference was between the two Listers?

Nick *does* own R&S 100%.  Kricfalusi sold them the rights to the
characters as part of his original deal with them.  I seem to recall
reading that that was the only way he could get them to cough up enough
money to get Spumco started.

Which makes it *completely* inane for them to get stingy on Ren & Stimpy --
it's just about the only property they own that has any chance of bringing
in money from outside licensing.  Surely there's a bigger market for R&S
merchandise than for "Clarissa Explains It All" calendars or "Salute Your

Gee, whatever happened to "give the guy a chance?"  I understand you're mad
with grief over Kricfalusi's departure, and you would prefer Camp to commit
self-immolation in protest, but most people in this world deserve at least one
chance, regardless of how traitorous you consider their conduct to have been.
If you said "Nah," remember: one day you may be in a similar situation, and
you'll be begging for a chance too.

I realize John K. is God to all of us (me included), but I do have a problem
with the way _they say_ he acted:  If he really did show the Nick management
one set of storyboards and then animated another set (with a few gross
sequences thrown in), then his behaviour was, at best, unethical, and at worst,
underhanded and sneaky.

_The_New_Adventures_of_Mighty_Mouse_ is of such higher quality
than anything Bakshi's done before or since, that I strongly
suspect that it's not Bakshi who's responsible for that quality.

It's been edited like that for months, but this morning's showing faded
faster than usual.  And I was in the other room at the time, but I could
*swear* they cut the bit in "Robin Hoek" where the father of "the poor"
decides to take off with the cash instead of sharing it with his family. 

If Nick has taken advantage of John K's dismissal to start bowdlerizing
existing episodes even further, the show is fucking *over* as far as I'm

	Hmmmm.  Your metaphorical interpretation gave me a big ol' idea.

	My idea is a little different from yours, Eugene.  Maybe "Marooned"
could be a big metaphor for life.  R&S are marooned on the planet (earth).
They don't like it; try to contact space command (God) with the radio, but
no response.  However, they have the handbook (Bible).  The Book is of no
help, and they fumble around and eventually die hopelessly.

	Kind of like the movie "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead."

	Has anyone else suggested anything like this?  R&S is so PREGNANT 
(to borrow a term from Shakespeare) that it can be scary.

	I welcome disagreements, but no flames, please.

No, you are quite wrong.
Nick fired John K. because he didn't meet >his own< production deadlines.
Remember that Nick allowed John K. to cut back the number of promised
episodes from 22 down to 13. John K. got behind on even those that he promised,
even if you count the 2 episodes that Nick nixed.
Nick >did< consider the long-time benefits- could Nick afford to keep re-
playing old episodes? No- Look at the amount of bitching that went on in
this group when Nick kept showing repeats.

It would be great, but I would be very suprised if RNS shows up anywhere
but Nick/MTV. Why? Because Nick owns RNS body and soul, not John K.
I can't see them selling all their rights to their most popular show
to anyone, not right now anyway.

	According to USA Today, John Kricfalusi has been fired from
production duties at Ren & Stimpy. According to a Nick spokesman,
"negotiations are in progress" regarding John K.'s involvement as
the voice of Ren. Nick was unhappy about the non-existence of new episodes
as promised by Spumco. I don't recall whether or not they named the
new production head. 

	Anyone have any other news about the current situation?
