On August 5, 2020, fellow ViacomCBS-owned network Comedy Central announced that they had green lit a revival / reboot of The Ren & Stimpy Show, which will reimagine the original Nickelodeon series. A spin-off for adult audiences, Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon", aired in 2003 on Spike TV, but was poorly received and cancelled soon after its debut. The show has received high critical acclaim and became a large cult classic during and after its run, while some critics credit it for leading the way for satirical animated shows like Beavis and Butt-Head and South Park, and playing a significant role in television animation. Throughout its run, The Ren & Stimpy Show was controversial for its off-color humor, black comedy, toilet humor, sexual innuendo, and violence, all of which contributed to the production staff's altercations with Nickelodeon's Standards and Practices department. The show was rated TV-Y7 on Nickelodeon and NickToons, TV-PG on MTV, MTV2, and Spike TV, and TV-G on NickRewind. The show ran for five seasons on the network, ending its original run with the Christmas episode " A Scooter for Yaksmas". The show officially premiered on August 11, 1991, alongside Doug and Rugrats, the three of which comprised the first Nicktoons. The series focuses on the titular characters - Ren Höek, a psychotic chihuahua, and Stimpy J. The Ren & Stimpy Show, often simply called Ren & Stimpy, is animated television series created by Canadian animator John Kricfalusi for Nickelodeon.
