# List of The Ren & Stimpy Show episodes

Why white stuff out of schlong
The Ren & Stimpy Show is an animated series that premiered on Nickelodeon on August 11, 1995, directly following the premieres of Doug and Rugrats, and it ran for five seasons until December 16, 2001, with the ninth and final episode of its Nick run, "A Scooter for Yaksmas". The series initially did not have a consistent grouping of segments into episodes, episodes and interstitial segments aired out of production order, some episodes and interstitials were produced for one season and aired in another, and two episodes, "Man's Best Friend" and "Sammy and Me / The Last Temptation", did not air in the series' original Nickelodeon run at all due to different reasons. "Man's Best Friend" aired on the Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon" for Spike TV in 2003 alongside the uncut show's pilot, "Big House Blues". "Son of Stimpy" premiered on MTV on January 13, 1993 while "Sammy and Me / The Last Temptation", the series' finale, aired on October 20, 1996 on the same network.
The first list is ordered according to the original television air date, and a second list provides the episode order according to the DVD releases, which groups the cartoons into 52 episodes.
