Ren & Stimpy are staging a comeback.
The animated dog-and-cat combo, who created a stir on Nickelodeon in the early '90s with their graphically gross antics, will romp in a series of new adventures airing on Nick sister network TNN, TV Guide reports in its June 8 issue (on newsstands June 3).
TNN will produce new episodes of the series and will bring back series creator John Kricfalusi, who left Nickelodeon in 1992 in a nasty clash with management. Kricfalusi voiced Ren, the Chihuahua - a part that was subsequently taken over by the voice of Stimpy, Billy West (the only guy I've ever heard do a dead-on impersonation of Larry from the Three Stooges).
TNN will air the new "Ren & Stimpy" episodes, as well as 52 previously aired episodes, in early 2003 as part of a prime-time animation block, according to TV Guide's Max Robins.
