From what I gather, there will be 13 half hour episodes shown during
the MTV "Ren at Ten" marathon: four tonight (Sunday), three Monday,
three Tuesday, and three Wednesday including "Son of Stimpy".  I
decided to take my Film Threat episode log and add it up.  Not
including the filler stuff, 0.5 counts as half of one show, and 1.0
counts as a whole show.

1st Season
----------
Big House Blues		0.5
Stimpy's Big Day	1.0
Robin Hoek		0.5
Nurse Stimpy		0.5
Space Madness		0.5
The Boy Who Cried Rat	0.5
The Littest Giant	0.5
Firedogs		0.5
Marooned		0.5
Untamed World		0.5
Black Hole		0.5
Stimpy's Invention	0.5
---------------------------
TOTAL			6.5 shows in first season

2nd Season (shown)
----------
In The Army		0.5
Powdered Toast Man	0.5 (banned by Nick)
Out West		0.5 (banned by Nick)
Ren's Toothache		0.5
Rubber Nipple Salesmen	0.5
Sven Hoek		1.0
Haunted House		0.5
Mad Dog Hoek		0.5
The Big Baby Scam	0.5
Dog Show		0.5
---------------------------
			5.5 shows shown (at least once) in second season

2nd Season (not broadcast ... yet)
----------------------------------
Stimpy's First Fart	1.0 (Film Threat says 30 minutes)
   (aka Son of Stimpy)

Kilted Yaksmen		0.5
Man's Best Friend	0.5 (banned by Nick before being shown)
To Salve or Salve Not	0.5
A Yard Too Far		0.5
Stimpy's Fan Club	0.5
Lair of the Lummox:
   Untamed World 2	1.0
Monkey See,Monkey Don't 0.5
The Great Outdoors	0.5
---------------------------
TOTAL			5.5 shows not broadcast

3rd Season 
----------
The Big Switch
The Cellulettes
No Pants Today or 
  That Nasty Little
  Naked Boy

So adding it all up ... there are 12 shows that have been aired
before, including the now banned "Powdered Toast Man" and "Out West".
Adding "Son of Stimpy" makes it 13 episodes, so it looks like those
two banned episodes will be shown again.  I don't think MTV would want
to pass up the opportunity to show Frank Zappa playing the voice of
the pope.  It doesn't look like "Man's Best Friend" will be shown
unless they don't show one of the already shown episodes, so MTV
wasn't accurate when they said "all episodes ever made".  Let's hope
they don't repeat any episodes.  Comedy Central repeated episodes in
their "Kids in the Hall" marathon, and it really ticked me off.

Even though I have all the shown ones on tape, I'll be recording them
again off MTV since it is stereo.  The 1st season episodes that I got
from MTV sound like they have stereo soundtracks.  Some of the music
was probably originally in mono, so it's not all in stereo.  Some of
the music and soundeffects do come out in stereo.

I wonder if they'll be showing them in chronological order?  I guess
I'll find out tonight.

Have fun everyone.
