The Ren & Stimpy Show / The First and Second Seasons Uncut : 5 of 5
1.15.2005 6:31 PM \| Link	I can remember being a Ren and Stimpy fan from the very beginning - I can even recall the commercials before the premiere (I was saying "What is it, man?" before it was a catch phrase!). I recorded lots of episodes on VHS, but of course I don't even have a VCR to watch them now. So, I was totally excited that these DVDs were finally being released, and really happy to get them for Christmas! There's been some controversy about calling these shows "uncut". Some episodes do have restored scenes that no one has seen before, but some other episodes are the Spike TV versions, which had some scenes shortened and commercial fade-outs inserted. Kind of a shame, but it's not too annoying to me. The shows themselves are awesome, and the commentary (which includes John K. himself) is hilarious (except for the guy who keeps laughing non-stop!). There's a short documentary that reveals that Stimpy's voice is an impression of Larry Fine from The Three Stooges - I had no idea, but now when I listen it's uncanny! (By the way, Ren is an impression of Peter Lorre, but everyone knows that.) It was so much fun watching these episodes again - I always fall out of my chair during The Boy Who Cried Rat when Ren comes out wearing Mickey Mouse's pants! Labels: dvds
