This encyclopedia doesn't take the place of the Ren And Stimpy guide and FAQ;
on the contrary, it should work with these documents. This encyclopedia puts
all the shows in perspective with bumpers and cartoons. A bumper is a short
commercial spoof or a short piece. All times are Eastern U.S.A. times unless
specified. All Trademarks are owned by Nickelodeon, MTV Networks, and Viacom
(C) 1991, 1992, 1993. This guide was known as "The Ren And Stimpy Extra" but
I think "Encyclopedia" is a better explanation of this guide. It is a
depository for miscellaneous facts about Ren And Stimpy and its showings.
Anything not covered by the FAQ or Not-So-Official-Guide is covered here--if
not, E-mail and request it from me.
Posting Information: This will be posted along with the other Ren And Stimpy
documents kept by me (FAQ, guide, and encyclopedia--not comics or ftp site)
on the net every two weeks. Look for it around Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday
nights.
FTP Information: This guide has been uploaded to aug3.augsburg.edu and is
updated fairly often. If you want more on Ren And Stimpy, please consult the
R&S FAQ and/or Episode Guide, both posted on alt.tv.ren-n-stimpy. It was
kept by Nick Sayer at mrapple@quack.sac.ca.us, but I have taken over for him.
E-mail me at ngsippel@miavx3.mid.muohio.edu with your comments, suggestions,

September 25, 1992...John K. gets fired from "The Ren And Stimpy Show."
According to the L.A. Times, Nick has fired John Kricfalusi because of
tardiness with the new episodes. Loyal fellow artists left with him (at
least over twenty), so Nick has moved production to a new studio to be headed
up by Bob Camp, a former partner at Spumco. Apparently, John K. had it with
Nick about censorship; four of his cartoons were nixed. Further updates will
be added A.S.A.P. and non-Spumco shows will be marked thereon.
November 1992...John K. has been offered a position as "Creative Consultant,"
but he plans to continue working on his future feature-length movie with "The
World's Most Manly Man." John K. has announced he will not be doing Ren Hoek
anymore. :( Nick has banned "Dog Show," "Man's Best Friend," "Powdered
Toast Man," and "Out West." Nick has, since the last update, kept playing
repeats of the show including variations of cartoons for shows but will start
new ones bi-weekly on November 7, 1992. Nick is still playing the edited
version of "Big House Blues." Maybe "Sven Hoek" is a prediction about Nick's
mis-management of R&S; they may go to heck if Nick's not careful. (I kind of
hope so; let John K. buy them back for a song and let them come back better
than ever! Joy!)
December 1992..."Game Productions" is working with Spumco to make the rest of
the second season shows. Their emblem has a picture of Stimpy in a painter's
cap. At this moment, details are sketchy about this. One of the people on
this group claims to work for an animation company that is working on
"Stimpy's First Fart" (aka "Stimpy's First Trouser Cough"
and "Son of Stimpy"); the main action (in this 30 minute cartoon) is about
R&S running around the world searching for Stimpy's sentient fart. John K.,
on the other hand, is hard at work putting together his next project. He has
several deals including one with FOX for a show about Spumco's official
mascot "Jimmy The 'Hapless' Boy" or unofficial mascot "George Liquor." My
vote goes for a show about George Liquor. Since John K. has retained the
rights to George, Nick cannot say his name on the air or stop him from doing
the show.
February 1993...According to "You Filthy Worms" By Richard Gehr in Village
Voice magazine, John K. got George Liquor because Nick didn't want its image
ruined by him. John K. calls Games Productions (now known as Games
Animation) "milkmen" because they and Nick are trying to "milk" out as much
Ren And Stimpy as possible; this explains why Stimpy is in a milkman's
costume in the logo. (Besides, Nick already has the trademark for Milkman by
Nick-At-Nite's commercials.) According to net sources, rumor still has it
that John K. is working for FOX; official word is that John K. is making
three new shows for the fall.
April 1993...Some of the first non-John K. cartoons have been aired. They
are funny at times, but without him, they aren't the same. Ren and Mr. Horse
are both played by Billy West. Two of John K.'s shows for the fall will be
"George Liquor" and "He Hog." MTV played a surprise rotation of the second
season shows, except the three most recent cartoons; its finale was a second
airing of "Son Of Stimpy" on the last night of the rotation. It seems, after
going through my list of aired episodes, that Nick premieres a new show every
three weeks, and during sweeps month, it tends to follow up a three-week wait
with a new episode one or two weeks sooner than the usual rotation.
May 1993...Nick is starting to finish the rest of the season by playing new
episodes. Hopefully, the season will end soon so we all can reLAx!! :)
Summer 1993...R&S Desert. No new shows have aired since May, but thankfully,
"Stimpy's Fan Club" and "Visit To Anthony" have been repeated on SNICK and
Sunday Morning. "Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen" has yet to be replayed.
Videos are scheduled to come out soon! (See FAQ for more information on it.)
October 1993...Billy West came to Miami University on October 6, 1993!! New
episodes are coming November 20! Further details about the speech are in a
post which is looking for a ftp site currently.
November/December 1993...The new episodes are out with mixed reviews. Let's
give Bob Camp a chance! (Actually, show #31 was good!)

Much Music's Ren And Stimpy-athon Information
=============================================
This information comes from our weekly satellite guide (OnSat)
One thing that I don't understand, is that one weekly guide
say that the Ren and Stimpy-athon is on Aug. 7th, and the next guide
says that it's on August 14th. Both guides are from OnSat, maybe
the Ren and Stimpy-athon are on both Saturdays! (Joy!)
It's probably just a printing error, and it might just be on the 14th,
but keep your eyes peeled anyway this Saturday.
Here are the times for the various shows (All times are for the Eastern time
zones)
(Editor's Numbers)
12:00 p.m. Stimpy's Big Day/The Big Shot 3
12:30 p.m. Robin Hoek/Nurse Stimpy 6
11:55 p.m. Space Madness/The Boy Who Cried Rat! 2
1:25 p.m. Fire Dogs/The Littlest Giant 5
1:50 p.m. Marooned/Untamed World 4
2:20 p.m. Black Hole/Stimpy's Invention 7
2:45 p.m. In The Army/Powdered Toast Man 8
3:15 p.m. Ren's Toothache/Big House Blues 9
3:40 p.m. Out West/Rubber Nipple Salesmen 10
4:10 p.m. Sven Hoek and Three Shorts 14 (a or b?)
4:35 p.m. Haunted House/Mad Dog Hoek 15
5:05 p.m. Big Baby Scam/Dog Show 16
5:30 p.m. Son Of Stimpy 19
6:00 p.m. AlMusic "Weird" Al takes over MuchMusic
Similar to MTV's AlTV (Good call Toastman!)
The whole thing then repeats at 8:00 p.m. with AlMusic repeated at 2:00 a.m.
The guide for the 14th has the exact same show listing, so I think
the way it's posted is the way it's gonna be. I'm just not sure if
it's on the 7th, or the 14th, or both. I hope it's both! =OP
For those with satellite dishes, here's how to get MuchMusic.
MuchMusic is located on the Canadian Anik E2 satellite, transponder/
channel 6. Anik E2 is located beside Spacenet 4. Here is the location
with respect the other satellites...
G3 T301 (or T1) G6 S4 E2 E1 M1 T303 (or T3)
^^
|| Right here!
Now, because MuchMusic broadcasts in stereo, you'll have to change
the audio frequency (or subcarrier) to tune in the audio. The frequencies
are..
5.41 Left Channel 6.17 Right Channel
On some satellite recievers you can select the type of stereo,
if you can, make sure it's on Discrete Stereo.
Also, MuchMusic has a mono audio frequency, it's 6.67. I don't
know if it works, I am always listening to MuchMusic in stereo. =O)
Well, that's it. If anyone has any questions, either E-Mail me
or post it up on the newsgroup and I'll answer it there.

From Kerrin Rhys Jones <Kerrin.Jones@comp.vuw.ac.nz>:
Sorry I've taken a while to get back to you with this - I dug through some
old issues of The Listener and discovered R&S have actually been lurking on
our screens in little watched timeslots for a lot longer than anyone seems to
realise.
I've written up all the details I have at the moment - I'd like to give you
episode listings for some of the earlier stuff, but have been unable to find
anyone with such a thing. I emailed the two NZers who you have included
comments from in the current version of the FAQ, asking if either of them had
any more details, but I haven't heard back from them (and it's been a
while)...
So here you go... It's all I can come up with at the moment, really... Feel
free to edit, chop, cut and paste as you see fit, include as much or as
little in the FAQ as you like... I'll let you know if I find out anything
further or if R&S return...
Spot you later,
Kerrin.
===================================================================
THE REN AND STIMPY SHOW in New Zealand
The Ren and Stimpy Show gained widespread popularity when it screened for a
while in a 6:00pm Saturday time-slot. It was quite well publicised - a
full-page article in the 17/4/93 issue of The Listener (NZ TV magazine) did
the usual "it's gross, it's disgusting, but it's popular" bit and gave the
background on the Nickelodeon/Kricfalusi breakup.
This was the first time the show had been publicised widely, and the first
time most viewers (including myself) discovered it. However, checking through
old issues of The Listener, it appears that Ren and Stimpy had actually been
on our screens for quite a while before gaining their widespread popularity...
It seems that R&S was first screened on WHAT NOW, a Saturday morning kids
show. R&S was listed as running for 10 to 15 minutes on the following dates:
14/11/92 10:00-10:15am
21/11/92 10:00-10:10am
28/11/92 10:00-10:10am
05/12/92 10:05-10:15am
It seems that 05/12/92 was the last WHAT NOW for 1992.
The next week, Ren and Stimpy resurfaced in a 4:30-5:00pm Saturday timeslot,
where they ran on the following dates:
12/12/92 4:30-5:00pm
19/12/92 4:30-5:00pm
26/12/92 4:30-5:00pm
02/01/93 4:30-5:00pm
09/01/93 4:30-5:00pm
16/01/93 4:30-5:00pm
23/01/93 4:30-5:00pm
30/01/93 4:30-5:00pm
06/02/93 4:30-5:00pm
I believe Show #16 ("The Big Baby Scam" and "Dog Show") and Show #14
("Sven Hoek") were both shown in this run, among others.
WHAT NOW came back on 06/02/93, screening 8:00am-12:00pm on Saturdays.
Once again R&S was included in it, from 10:35-11:00am.
06/02/93 10:35-11:00am
13/02/93 10:35-11:00am
20/02/93 10:35-11:00am
27/02/93 10:35-11:00am
06/03/93 10:35-11:00am
13/03/93 10:35-11:00am
And then finally, Ren and Stimpy made it to a decent timeslot and got a bit
of publicity. Here's the episode listing of R&S from their 6:00pm Saturday
run. Episodes are titled as in the Ren and Stimpy Extra, with some comments
on cuts where we know they've been made - there are bound to be many others.
17/04/93 6:00-6:30pm Show #3
24/04/93 6:00-6:30pm Show #6 (Missing PTM Bumper)
01/05/93 6:00-6:30pm Show #2
08/05/93 6:00-6:30pm Show #5
15/05/93 6:00-6:30pm Show #4
22/05/93 6:00-6:30pm Show #7
29/05/93 6:00-6:30pm Show #8
05/06/93 6:00-6:30pm Show #10 (Missing "The Hangin' Song" from Out West)
12/06/93 6:00-6:30pm Show #16
19/06/93 6:00-6:30pm Show #19
26/06/93 6:00-6:30pm Show #9
03/07/93 6:00-6:30pm Show #12 (Haunted House ends with "...end it all")
Then with no warning or explanation, R&S disappeared from our screens to be
replaced by DEEP WATER HAVEN, a new 26-part NZ drama series, (or at least
what passes for drama around here...) Ren and Stimpy have not been sighted on
our screens since.
An article "Censored!" on TV censorship in the 7/8/93 issue of The Listener
talked about the cutting of various TV programs by TVNZ. R&S got the
following mention, referring to the cutting of "Haunted House":
Like THE SIMPSONS, the shamelessly subversive REN AND STIMPY has felt the
censor's knife for it's deliberate battering at the taste barrier. A cutting
notice from June orders the following: Delete "I couldn't even scare a
paranoid schizophrenic". Delete suicide scenes. Delete "There's only one
thing left to do, I'm going to end it all", "Sweet Lord No" (Spike shown
through head), "You can't do that ... Do this" (A bottle of poison handed
over and swallowed, followed by writhing and death.)

These airings are from Network Ten's Big Breakfast from Darren O'Shaughnessy
(darren@cs.anu.edu.au). The first two weeks were Monday through Friday, and
now it is shown every Monday. I edited the format slightly to agree with
date stamps and episode numbers to match my episode numbers. This
information was accurate as of September 1, 1993.
** The times are Australian time. **

I haven't got a TV guide for next Monday yet (I'll have one
tomorrow), so the episode to be screened is anyone's guess. I fear R&S may be
temporarily suspended Down Under, but I live in hope.
You Eediot! is getting airplay on JJJ, mainly thanks to
Maynard F# Crabbes. The album is only available on import here, however.
