The Ren & Stimpy Show
The Ren & Stimpy Show, also known simply as Ren & Stimpy, is an American animated television series created by Canadian animator John Kricfalusi. The show debuted on Nickelodeon on August 11, 1991, as part of the Nicktoons block alongside Rugrats and Doug. The titular characters are Ren Höek, an emotionally unstable chihuahua, and Stimpson J. Cat, a good-natured, dimwitted cat. The network aired the show for five seasons. During and after its run, the show received critical acclaim and a cult following, with some critics crediting it with paving the way for satirical animated shows like Beavis and Butthead and South Park, as well as playing a significant role in television animation. The Ren & Stimpy Show was controversial for its off-color humor, sexual innuendo, and violence throughout its run, all of which contributed to the production staff's clashes with Nickelodeon's Standards and Practices department. Ren & Stimpy's "Adult Party Cartoon" aired on Spike in 2003, but was quickly cancelled.
