The Ren & Stimpy Show (also known as Ren & Stimpy) is an American animated television series created by Canadian animator John Kricfalusi for Nickelodeon. Originally produced by Spümcø, the series aired from August 11, 1991, to December 16, 1995, with a total of five seasons and 52 episodes. The series follows the adventures of Ren Höek, an emotionally unstable and sociopathic chihuahua dog; and Stimpy, a good-natured and dimwitted manx cat.
The Ren & Stimpy Show is the third of Nickelodeon’s original animated series—known as “Nicktoons”—alongside Rugrats and Doug. In contrast with other shows on the network, it has generated controversy for its dark humor, sexual innuendos, adult humor, violence, and shock value. This controversy contributed to the production staff’s altercations with Nickelodeon’s Standards and Practices department, in addition to Spümcø’s failure to deliver episodes on time, all of which led to Kricfalusi’s termination from the show in 1992. Games Animation would produce the remaining three seasons of the series. One episode was initially left unaired until it was broadcast on MTV on October 20, 1996.
Nevertheless, The Ren & Stimpy Show received highly positive reviews during its original run and has since developed a cult following. It is considered by many to have had a long-lasting influence on television animation.
A revival for adult audiences, Ren & Stimpy “Adult Party Cartoon”, was produced by Kricfalusi and Spümcø and aired in 2003 on Spike TV. Only three episodes were aired before the series was cancelled due to both production delays and negative critical reception, with three additional episodes (all incomplete at the time of the cancellation) being released straight to DVD in 2006.
On August 5, 2020, Comedy Central announced that they had ordered a second revival of the series to be produced without the involvement of Kricfalusi.
The series centers on Ren Höek (voiced by John Kricfalusi in seasons 1–2; Billy West in seasons 3–5), a short-tempered, psychotic, “asthma-hound” Chihuahua Dog, and Stimpson J. “Stimpy” Cat (also voiced by Billy West), a dimwitted and happy-go-lucky cat.[4] The duo fill various roles from episode to episode, including outer-space explorers, Old West horse thieves, and nature-show hosts, and are usually at odds with each other in these situations. While the show was sometimes set in the present day, the show’s crew tended to avoid “contemporary” jokes about current events. The show extensively features off-color and absurdist humor, as well as slapstick.
The show features a host of supporting characters. Some appear only in one episode, while others recur and occasionally appear in different roles. They may either be part of the storyline or make cameo appearances with little bearing on the plot. Some, such as Mr. Horse, are exclusively cameo-based, spontaneously appearing as a running gag.
* To be honest, I never encourage mystery decks – not even King Star’s. I don’t believe in gambling, or the chance of odds, or even surprises. All my collectors know exactly what they’re getting. With mystery decks, I cannot guarantee that you’ll get a rare deck, so please get this only if you enjoy the retro kitschy artwork and intend to display the packaging along with your collection.

Nickelodeon, also known as Nick, American-based cable television channel, focused on children’s programming. It is among the top-rated networks in the history of cable television.
The channel launched as Pinwheel on December 1, 1977, originally airing educational fare from around the world for 12 hours a day, without commercials. Rebranded as Nickelodeon in 1979, the channel expanded its lineup of original programming, which eventually included the sketch-comedy show You Can’t Do That on Television. The Canadian-produced series, which had first aired on a local station in Ottawa, is notable for originating the channel’s iconic and frequent use of green slime in its early years.
Though that show became a modest success in the early 1980s, Nickelodeon as a whole suffered from dismal ratings and was largely unprofitable, which prompted the network to reinvent itself once more. In 1983 it began airing commercials, and the following year it embarked on a campaign to shed its image as a family-friendly educational network and promote itself instead as an entertainment channel devoted to the actual interests of children. Within months, Nickelodeon had gained its footing and, with the popularity of cheerfully unsophisticated programs such as the kids’ game show Double Dare, it soon became the top-rated American children’s television station. At the same time, it introduced a block of evening programming called Nick at Nite, which aired reruns of classic TV shows favoured by older viewers. By the early 1990s, the network boasted a production facility at the Universal Studios Florida theme park as well as its own magazine.
In 1991 Nickelodeon began to air original cartoons, namely, Doug (1991–94), The Ren & Stimpy Show (1991–96), and Rugrats (1991–2004). By the mid-1990s the network had become the number one cable channel as measured by total daily viewers, and later programs, such as the animated SpongeBob SquarePants (1999– ) and the live-action sitcom iCarly (2007–12), frequently ranked among the highest-rated cable programs in the United States. Nickelodeon’s offerings aimed at preschoolers, a key element of its success, included Blue’s Clues (1996–2006), Dora the Explorer (2000–14), and Go, Diego, Go! (2005–11).
Several networks have been spun off from Nickelodeon, including TV Land (launched 1996), which, like Nick at Nite, aired old broadcast-network programs; Nickelodeon Games and Sports for Kids (1999–2007; revived as Nick Games in 2019); Noggin (1999), for younger viewers; Nicktoons (2002), which showed current and older animated series; and the N (2002), for adolescent viewers. In 2009 Noggin and the N were renamed Nick Jr. and TeenNick, respectively, after long-running programming blocks on the parent network. Nickelodeon has also lent its name and concept to numerous international versions.
Since 1995 Nickelodeon Movies has produced children’s films, many of which have been adaptations either of popular books or of the network’s television series. The Rugrats Movie (1998) became the first non-Disney animated movie to gross more than $100 million, and Rango (2011) earned an Academy Award for best animated feature film. In addition, a Broadway musical based on SpongeBob SquarePants ran from 2017 to 2018.
Nickelodeon Studios was a production studio and theme park attraction run by the television network Nickelodeon at Universal Studios Florida.
Opening on June 7, 1990, as The First World Headquarters for Kids, the studio attracted young tourists as contestants and audience members for Nickelodeon’s live-action programming. At its peak, the studio employed 400 people and was the largest production studio in Florida, bringing $110 million in business to the state by 1994.
The studio closed permanently on April 30, 2005, after much of Nickelodeon’s production had moved to Nickelodeon on Sunset. Nickelodeon Studios ended its run having produced over 2,000 episodes of original programming. After The Studio closed down permanently, they’re reopening the studio in 2023.
