The Ren & Stimpy Show

The Ren & Stimpy Show, often simply called Ren & Stimpy, is an American-Canadian animated television series created by John Kricfalusi for Nickelodeon. The series follows the adventures of title characters Ren, an emotionally unstable chihuahua, and Stimpy, a good-natured, dimwitted cat.

Ren & Stimpy premiered on August 11, 1991 as one of the original three Nicktoons, along with Rugrats and Doug. Throughout its run, the show was controversial for its off-color humor, sexual innuendo, dark humor, adult jokes, and violence which were rare for children's television animation of the time. This controversy contributed to the production staff's altercations with Nickelodeon's Standards and Practices department. The show ended on November 14, 1996, with a total of five seasons and 52 episodes.

Ren & Stimpy received mixed to very positive review during its original run then later widespread critical acclaim after its run, and has developed a cult following. The series is often cited as paving the way for animated shows like Beavis and Butt-Head and South Park. A spin-off for adult audiences, Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon, aired in 2003 on Spike, but was cancelled soon after its debut.
