Actually, this may *not* be a coincidence. STTNG is noted for its many
TV
show references....you can check out the TNG FAQ on RAS (enough of the
TLA's!).
Some refs include: Dr. Who, Star Wars, The Dirty Pair (a Japanes
anime),
and many more.

Still, I would need to see something a bit more concrete. Perhaps a 
heeedeeeeous black hole, or Picard yelling at Riker-- "You disgusting

a differnet Mr. Horse because he wears a suit. Or that the Ren in

Well, everybody seems to be proclaiming there opinions out there
guess i'll add mine too the bunch.  I loved the old episodes and 
maybe the show never can be the same now that John K. is gone.
But with Bob Camp remaining on Nicks production staff, I think
the show can still retain most of the old magic it has had in the
past.  I liked the new episodes i've seen so far, and though
there have have been peaks and low points in some of them,
I think it may well be just the result of the staff trying to
return to a routine that was upset by the dismissal of John K.
They have a lot of there own decisions to make about production 
now that John probably made before...and there just trying to
develop in themselves the 'spice' that made the Ren and Stimpy
show what it is, which left with its creator, John K.

So I'm looking at the shows this season as groundbreaking for a
maturing production staff, and the shows next season to have better
quality and development, and maybe be alot funnier and explore
new territory...

Then again, maybe the show will go down the tubes...who can predict?

"Iss eet stinkee?"
"Just the way yooouu like it!"

P.S.  For you fans of Yak-Shaving day...I have a 93' R n S calendar

I just got back from Orlando where I visited the Disney MGM Studios.  While
taking a tour of the cartoon production area, I passed a room that had 
various drawings from various cartoonists on the wall, and lo and behold
there were our beloved Ren and Stimpy, drawn by John K. himself (it was
dated 11/23/92).  Ren was covered in Stimpy's coughed-up hairballs, and
it said "Disney makes me so Happy Happy I can't contain my own juices!! (or
something very similar).  What a treat to see that!!

Well, my friends and I were quite happy with the new shows last
weekend.  We realize that a show will never remain the same and we enjoy
whatever we can get.  Ren's voice may be different, but who cares?  Why
can't all the people who complain about this show either stop being
so picky and start appreciating what you get or just turn the channel?
Is there someone forcing the people who complain about each and every
show from watching something different?  If I don't like the taste of

Actually, that is a squirrel with an acorn, not the beaver... look at his
tail. He also has a reddish pink face. Also realize that squirrels and
beavers are both rodents (I believe) so they should look quite a bit alike.

This doesn't have any relevance, but I think that John K. wasn't really
fired because of his scripts.  Apparently, he was spending far too great
an amount of money, thus going over budget, and Nick thought they could
do just as well as John did, so they canned him.  He must  have spent quite
a bit, cuz there were a lot of studio recordings made especially for the show:
Happy Happy Joy Joy, Muddy Mud Skipper, etc.  I venture that the animation
was also a bit more expensive than, say,  the animation for a show like
Beetlejuice.

They cut out three things:

1] Silenced the word "Liquor"
2] Took off the words "George Liquor American" off the welcome scene
3] Took George's tail off the butt shot

Well, at least they didn't cut off the part where the poodle says "He makes me

BTW, George Liquor is played by Michael Patacki.

In the December 17 issue of the San Jose Mercury News, an aticle by Mike
Antonucci tells about some of the various Ren & Stimpy paraphernalia available.
(article reprinted without permission):
Nickelodeon wishes you a happy, happy, joy, joy holidays
"You can have yourself a Ren & Stimpy Christmas - if you hurry.
The Nickelodeon cable network has delivered a sackful of new products featuring
its psychotic Chihuahua and moronic cat, but some are threatening to become
scarcer than the cartoon's elements of good taste.
     And yes, the products are sometimes as scatalogical as the TV jokes.
     For instance, a just-released poster asks a real Ren & Stimpy kind of
question: Who cut the cheese?
     Or there's the plastic-sealed first issue of the Ren & Stimpy comic book
from Marvel, which includes a free 'air fouler' (We've been afraid to open it
at the newspaper, and besides, the comic now goes for as much as $7.50 in mint
condition, after originally selling for $2.25.)
     Sandie Lowenstein, Nickelodeon's vice president of consumer products, said
90 percent of the Ren & Stimpy items the network has licensed only became
available this month.  But demand has been so heavy that it's already getting
hard to find some T-shirts, watches and, surprise, the "Rude Toot" dolls that
fart.
     'The boxer shorts are doing well, too.' Lowenstein noted.
     Other items include 'Space Cadet Adventures' for Nintendo's Game Boy
system, a post card book, a 1993 calendar, key chains and a magazine entitled
'The Ren & Stimpy Show Exposed.'
     Specialty stores - comic book and T-shirt shops, for example - have some
of the merchandise, but Lowenstein also recommended the J.C. Penney, K Mart
and Toys R Us chains in the bay area.
     If you're appalled but curious, check out the watches.
     Avoid the dolls.

I remember once when I was a child, I heard someone say 'liquor' on a t.v.
show and immediately I had an overwhelming urge to grow up and be an 
alcoholic father who beat his kids. Thank goodness it was only a dream. 
Anyway, I thought this episode was great. Ren's voice was definitely John K.,
or a darned good imitation. It was much better than Haunted House and Mad
Dog Hoek. Didja notice at the end, they showed the Spumco logo complete with
snot. There was another logo displayed after that one with Stimpy in it; what
was that?

Yes, I just checked The Boy Who Cried Rat and heres the opening credits:

Story by Vincent Waller & John K.
Story Board by Vincent Waller
Directed by John K.

we need to see more of the beaver though (you remember, the buzzsaw in
the boy who cried rat, with his Mighty Incisors (sp) and the tooth beaver
in Ren's Toothache)
(he was also in the 2nd comic book, with the beaver pizza, which I though
was hilarious, esp at the end with the good beaver fairy)
