Answer 2

Big fights over censorship with Cartoon Network. May go directly to dvd in the future. How far? Who knows?

from wikipedia:

Spümcø 1990-1992
Ren and Stimpy was created by John Kricfalusi and produced by his animation team Spümcø. The pilot, "Big House Blues," was finished in October 1990 and the first episode, "Stimpy's Big Day," premiered August 1991 along with Rugrats and Doug. However, Nickelodeon expressed concern about the show's grossness and violence, and routinely censored episodes. For example, in the episode Man's Best Friend George Liquor adopts Ren and Stimpy who later beat George with an oar. Nickelodeon thought this episode was too violent and banned it. The network also censored certain episodes such as "Svën Höek", "Nurse Stimpy" and "Big House Blues." Kricfalusi was fired from his creative role in the show on September 21, 1992, and subsequently refused to continue providing the voice of Ren. Kricfalusi has said the firing was due primarily to the censoring Nickelodeon felt was required, while Nick executives and Billy West have said it was more a result of Kricfalusi repeatedly missing deadlines. Another possibility is that John K missed deadlines because he fought with Nick over censorship.


[edit] Games Animation 1993-1996
One of Kricfalusi's closest friends, Bob Camp, began writing and directing the episodes himself. However the Games episodes were despised by fans and was eventually canceled.


[edit] Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon 2003-2004
Main article: Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon

Logo originally used on The New TNN's website.In 2003, an adult-oriented version of the series titled Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon, featuring episodes helmed by series creator John Kricfalusi, aired briefly on Spike TV). In 2004, Ren & Stimpy landed at number 18 on UK Channel 4's list of the 100 Greatest Cartoons. It is currently being aired on Nicktoons TV.

Advertisers were "freaked out" (in Kricfalusi's own words) by some of the new show's content, particularly that of the risqué episode "Naked Beach Frenzy" (which was finished in 2003 but is unaired on American TV so far) and the show was taken off the air, partly due to the advertisers' fears, and partly due to Kricfalusi and company taking their time making new episodes. In the spring and summer 2004, Kricfalusi completed two new episodes (each an hour long), and those episodes (along with "Naked Beach Frenzy") were shown at film festivals and other such venues.

Spike TV officially cancelled APC around November 2004 (and Kricfalusi shut down his studio in Canada shortly thereafter).


[edit] Future
In 2005, Kricfalusi announced that the existing APC (both the ones that aired in 2003 and the unaired ones) were coming to DVD and that there is the possibility for new Ren and Stimpy episodes (Kricfalusi has stated to have great interest in making episodes direct-to-video) if Ren and Stimpy DVDs sell well enough (as was the case with the show Family Guy , which came back into production partially due to phenomenal DVD sales and Futurama which will come back on Comedy Central in 2008). It is rumored that the series may come to Adult Swim with the original series uncut and the Adult Cartoon Party episodes however, nothing is official.
