Nick is still COMMUNIST! Censorship in any form for any reason is wrong.
Granted I liek Dragnet, I still oppose their posture taken against
teh Ren N' Stimpy folks. They wouldn't know a good show if it won an
Emmy award.
Down with Nick! Another, more liberal, less political network will
pick up R&S!

The folks in rec.games.video have been absolutely NO help, and I'm stuck
jumping around on the console after the first Muddy Mudskipper Coin Toss
[in the R&S Gameboy game].  I figured that I have to jump someplace odd
on the console, but I can't find where [I haven't reached the Ren-head

Thanks.

(1) Do the original creators of R&S get royalities from merchandise?  If so, 
then bootlegging is wrong: you are taking money from their more-worthy-than-
your pockets.  However, if nick is making profit from pillowcases and no 
money is getting to the creators, then why not?  All you're doing is making 
it harder for a suit to make house payments, and I have no problem with 
that.  And I thought John K. (hope I got that right) sold the rights to R&S 
to finance the show; maybe i'm wrong.

(2) I found a line in "The Hobbit" that was pretty darn close to "I'll teach 
your grandmother to suck eggs", if not the same.  It was spoken by Gollum 
during his first encounter with Bilbo (I forget the page#).  Maybe i'm wrong 
again.

JOY!

With all of the posts about the R&S marathon on MTV -- and so many
conflicting times -- I decided to call MTV myself and get the full
story.  They wouldn't tell me if the shows were edited or if *every*
show was in fact included, but they did give me the times when R&S
would be airing.  (In fact, I was transferred to a recording; I guess
they're getting a lot of requests for the information. :-)  The info
I was given doesn't say which shows air when, so I guess you'll have
to watch them all.  (More joy!)

BTW, if anyone else wants to try calling MTV for more information
(someone who's a bit more persuasive :-), the number for MTV's
Viewer Services Department is (212) 258-8700.

All times are Eastern and Pacific.

Sunday, Jan. 10: 10:00 pm - 12:00 Midnight
Monday, Jan. 11: 10:00 pm - 11:00 pm

Organization: Bowling Green State University
Date: Wed, 13 Jan 1993 01:09:52 GMT

As some of you may have seen, there was recently a post by people involved
with the magazine FPS, looking for submissions. 
I have been toying with the idea of an article for them for a couple of weeks
now, and would like to propose a team up, with some of you on line.
In the last issue of FPS that I received, there was an article on censorship
of Warner Bros. Cartoons that have hit television. I would like to write a
similar piece, except focus on the censorship of Ren and Stimpy that has
been seen, and its effect on John K. 
What I would like, is to gather up all the lists created here that point out
the censored scenes. I'll be interviewing some MTV execs and others for the 
bulk of the material, but will need the censor list for the sidebar. 
Anyone who donates/gives information that I use will be listed as a co-author
of the section it's used in, namely the sidebar (and possibly more, I can't say
for sure yet).
Since I'm not gonna get any money out of this, I'm not offering any payment,
but will make a copy of the finished work available (copyright laws permitting,
so send me E-Mail for details on that).
 
Now, this is a serious project for me (I'm a graduate student studying Popular
Culture), so unless you really want to help some, don't bother to answer . . . 
but if you want to add to the collective knowledge of mankind, and get a real
neat resume item to prove that watching R'N'S is worthwhile, send me E-Mail

MTV consistently avoids putting commercials between shows (not just
R&S) at the hour and at the half-hour.  I think it is a strategy they
use to capture viewers that are scanning channels after a show is over
on another channel.  Most other channels are running commercials just
before the hour and the half-hour, so the channel scanners landing on
MTV find something other than a commercial, and they stop to watch.

I still find it irritating, and I have accidentally paused the VCR a
couple of times during the second episode of each show when I'm
anticipating a commercial.

Apparently both of you have not realized that Nickelodean, or any commercial
TV company, is free to air whatever they like.  You may not like it, but big
fat hairy deal -- it isn't your decision.  You don't pay for the Ren & Stimpy
channel -- you pay for basic cable, whatever that currently means.  And it
isn't censorship.

Having a complaint is a bit different from whining about the Evil Corporate
Masses.

While you're busy condemning Nick for not showing a few episodes (and they may
show them in the future, if there is demand, and there obviously is), why not
COMMEND Nick for allowing the show to exist in the first place?

Well, before you go nuts complaining about MTV, you shuold make sure you
are correct (sorry about the flame ;^). But Black Hole doesn't have the
Captain Hoek intro like Space Madness and Marooned do. I just checked my
tape from Nickelodian that I taped over the summer, and they are identical
Black Hole has a different intro, showing them getting sucked into the
black hole.

I do find the commercials in the middle of episodes irritating also though,
esp to see a Madonna commercial. I only hope they show Powdered Toast Man
and Out West (hopefully tonight!)
