Speaking of this, does MTV have any intention of airing the new R&S
episodes in general?  My cable guide made it look like MTV is not.

Just had to be a geek and post.  I thew a party for a Wayne's World/
R&S screening (yes, thew, we had beer, so there!).  There were quite
a few die-hard fans, and we all pretty much agreed that the Army
episode was a bit under par.  It needed more dialogue.  The only
time that there was sustained, uncontrollable laughter was at the
end when Ren started raving.

Powdered Toast man was *way* cool. It did seem like the show was just
a _tad_ short.

I noticed that the ITA episode ended rather abbruptly. I wouldnt be surprised 
if they cut out the part where RnS explode into oblivion after thier tank

Not all episodes of Ren and Stimpy have featured "the usual juxtaposed 
classical musical <sic> score." I thought the blues tunes used in ITA were
a nice change of pace from the norm. But thats how I felt about the whole
episode...

As he does this, he says, "Alley-oop".  I'm very curious about the origin
of this expression, and the spelling (if there is any standardized spelling

  Anybody know (besides Dr. Stupid)?

Has anyone heard anything about future cartoons (full length movies?

the local paper (Minneapolis Tribune) that was an interview with 
John K.  He hinted at future work that would feature Jimmy, but gave
no details.

FYI (if you don't already know)  Jimmy the Hapless Boy (aka Jimmy
the Retarded Boy as he was known some time ago) is one of John K's
favorite characters.  He's the guy with the dribbling nose who appears
after the credits of R&S episodes.  Also, <RUMOR ALERT> I heard that
Spumco has or is thinking of making a large statue of Jimmy to place
on the roof of their building.  Is this true?!?  If yes, then will
someone take a picture and post it to the net.

I disagree about the music.  The song with the trumpet and the other ones
were more up to date, but just as good.  Remember: They wanted to get you
to feel the army, not Star Trek or Muddy.

The first part with no dialogue was bad.  There was no explaination about 
them standing there nude (!). :)  We can blame Bob Camp for this bad cartoon
because he wrote and directed it. :)

Well, Let's Hope For Another Great Episode Saturday!

Some people have commented on the "poor" music used in In The Army.
For those that don't know, it was a selection written by Raymond
Scott, written in the late 30s or early 40s.  If you listen to his
music, you're realize just how unoriginal Carl Stalling was when he
composed music for the old Bugs Bunny Cartoons.  Most of the good
stuff was borrowed from Scott.

The credits for ITA do list him, and the music used was taken from
"original" masters at CBS (my sister was lucky enough to sit in on the
re-recording sessions CBS did for Spumco, which is why I know this).

What!  This is ridiculous!  He wasn't complaining about R n S being nude!  He  
was complaining about not knowing WHY they were nude!  He doesn't know that the  
military makes you stand in line naked while you get your shots!  (I don't know  
this either, except its a cliche in the movies).  

Great recovery though with the Pat Buchanan comments.  I'd comment further, but
