Ren, Stimpy to make TV comeback in new Comedy Central show
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The brazen humor of 'œThe Ren & Stimpy Show'ť will be revisited in a new Comedy Central version of the animated series.
The original program that was a hit for Nickelodeon will be reimagined in partnership with Nickelodeon Animation Studio, Comedy Central said Wednesday.
Ren, a psychologically challenged Chihuahua, and Stimpy, less intelligent than your average cat, were created by John Kricfalusi and debuted on Nickelodon in 1991. 'œThe Ren & Stimpy Show'ť drew criticism from observers who deemed it unsuitable for children, citing its crass jokes and sexual innuendo. It aired for five seasons.
On Comedy Central, the show will join other adult-animation series including 'œSouth Park'ť and a revamped version of 'œBeavis and Butt-Head,'ť the channel said.
A debut date was not announced.
