New York Post – “The Ren & Stimpy Show” is returning with all-new episodes — 25 years after ending its original run.
Comedy Central has ordered an updated version of the wildly anarchic, dark-humored and trippy adult animated series that aired on Nickelodeon and MTV from 1991-96 and followed the surreal shenanigans of temperamental/psychotic Chihuahua Ren and his goofy, dim-bulb cat pal Stimpy. (Their proper names are Ren Hoeck and Stimpson J. Cat.) It also spawned the show’s unofficial theme song “Happy Happy Joy Joy.”
“Ren & Stimpy” will join the new version of “Beavis and Butt-Head” and the “Daria” spinoff, “Jodie,” on Comedy Central within the next year-and-a-half as the network ramps up its slate of animated revivals.
