I printed a copy of the episode guide posted here, but I haven't had the
chance to watch R&S the last three weekends.  (The last episode I saw was
..hm, I can't remember!)  Anyway, what episodes have been shown these past
few weekends?  Any debuts?

Thanks,

If it helps, I'll write, too. I'm good at it. 

We just got R&S up here (Toronto, Canada) a month ago and we're damn well not
gonna give up on it now!

By the way, while I'm writing to Nick, I'll write to the network that airs it
up here (MuchMusic -- our version of MTV) who have the NERVE to air R&S once a
week for 10 minutes.  Talk about trying to stretch!!!! Geez.

It's comfirmed--I saw an announcement in the tv section of the Houston Post
today.  The above times are correct for Eastern time.  Does anyone know if
a schedule of episodes has been released?  In my paper there was only a 
blurb with the above info.  

Has Nick pulled "The Boy Who Cried Rat"?  I haven't seen it in a while and

     Last week I was telling John K. about the posts on Usenet since
the debacle of a couple of weeks ago.  He's aware, of course, of the
myriad "Ren & Stimpy" fan groups on various computer BBS systems(Prodigy,
etc.).  Anyway, I was impressed by how supportive and just plain pissed
most of you were, and I told him so...he wanted to see copies, and though
by that time the first wave of indignant posts had passed, I did manage
to save a good number to disk, which I'll show him.  Meantime...

   I wanted you guys to keep in mind that at the time of the "takeover"
there were already a number of John's shows in various stages of completion.
This means that the first *new* R&S episodes that'll air will still have
John's influence.  If a show is going to be aired that John wasn't able
to finish to his liking before getting out of it, his name won't be on it.
There were 4 remaining shows in the layout stage when Nick pulled R&S.
   The "consultant" title is misleading, inasmuch as it will only apply
IF John's asked by Nick to "help" on one of the unfinished shows, and
if he agrees to do so.  Nick publicized this to squelch all the 
negative publicity/feedback they'd gotten for their brilliant
decision to take Ren & Stimpy away from John. I'd say it's STILL
more than worth it to keep hammering away at Nickelodeon to reinstate
him.

Hello,

OH PLEEEEEAZE!!

Everyone knows the endings to Ren and Stimpy in which Ren say "Go on Stimpy,
Say Goodbye!" "Where are we going?"
What I need is a list of what Ren suggests Stimpy can do until "Next time!"
I need both what is suggested and what Stimpy actually does..

I realize that this is very trivial, but I do NEED this information.
ANY help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

According to E! Entertainment Television, John Kricfalusi will no longer

to get new episodes out, and this is one way to get him to concentrate more

>					--Judex--

i like seeing traces of a human hand in animation, as well.  i like
the rougher texture and the subtleties found only in traditional
animation and even though i work with computers a lot, my last film
was done entirely by hand.  there's still a lot of us out there
who see the merits of hand drawn/done animation.  using computers
to do the coloring is a first step in what may veer towards a sad
and scary automated system that is about as passionate as computer
music.  but it is one particular step that does use the computer 
to do something that is hard to achieve - namely, getting the
exact color the artist has in mind.  i personally prefer the old
technicolor look but almost nobody uses that anymore these days.
back to the Ren & Stimpy line of things, Kricfalusi feels that,
by using computers, more of the art work could be done at the
studio rather than shipping them off to Korea or somewhere far
away in which the creative control of the animator is separated 
from the inkers and the painters.  that's a good point.

it's a difficult issue.  computers can be used well if used
creatively.  it could really hurt the artform if used as a
shortcut.

I agree!  It's unfortunate that John K's gone, but R & S is not quite
dead.  Let's see what those who remain can do instead of condemning them
out of hand.  After all John K did NOT  single-handedly produce, direct,
write/storyboard, pencil, ink, paint, inbetween, shoot, do all of the
voices and play all of the music on the show.  He was the creative force
behind it of course, but if he really built a good production team (and
enough of them remain), they can take what they learned and work with it.
It WON'T be John K, but it might be good too.

For the record, the Black Hole/Stimpy's Invention episode is my favorite
too.

Now can we get some other R & S threads going?   I for one would like to
see an R & S episode guide posted.  Has anyone complied such a guide?  Was
there actually an entire episode devoted to Powdered Toast Man, or are people
referring to the Powdered Toast commercial at the beginning of the Robin
Hoek/Fire Dogs show?  What are the various things that Ren suggests Stimpy
can do until the next show?  How many episodes has Mister Horse appeared in?
Is it true that Mr. Horse makes a cameo in EACH show a la Hitchcock?  Is
anyone tracking this stuff?  Is there an R & S FAQ with all of this
information?   Enquiring minds want to know...

Actually, I just read in the most recent edition of TV Guide that the time
for MEGA-NICKTON Monday for Ren-n-Stimpy will be from 3-8.  The question
I'm wondering is are they going to repeat an episode or two to make the
full time slot.....if anyone has any idea what the list and order of shows
being shown is PLEASE POST IT!!!!  I'm very interested!

Someone I work with said they heard an actual advertisement on Nickelodeon
