[DianaGohan]

Actually in the Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon It's suppose to be "Ren Seeks Help" AND "Man's Best Friend" that air tonight? Or is that another night or something?

It just says "Ren Seeks Help" at the TNN schedule.

It changed.

Which sucks, as "Man's Best Friend" is actually an old episode.

Too bad, I wanted to see Ren beat the crap outta George Liquor again.

EDIT: ACK! Now he's beating the crap outta Mr. Horse. Ren's gone MAD!

Gary's on... pretty funny dream sequence tonight.

I thought the strip is pretty good so far only sen Ren and stimpy adult party cartoon. I didnt see what all the fuss is about it seems like the orginal ren and stimpy but geared toward adults. seems like the same gross stuff as was in the nick toon but unedited as I am sure it was on nick. Gary the rat is good so far good dream sequence

The only good part of last week episode of Ren and Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon is when they were in the mouth for the first half of the show, that was fuuny. But this week, it was all good, especially the end, man I cracked up.

 

[Yuss]

I missed most of Ren & Stimpy, but I caught the last few minutes and it seemed pretty funny.

And I don't care what anyone says, I'm loving Gary the Rat.

This is my first time seeing Stripperella, so I like it so far. Cheapo reminds me of the Penguin. If TNN ever decides to release Stripperella on DVD, I can see them unblurring the strippers' breasts, and what not. I also like the animation. It reminds me of X-Men Evolution, only with a TV-MA.

"The Strip" is a lot better this week.

Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon - After Ren left the house during "Ren Seeks Help", the episode picked up considerably. As a matter of fact, this is a great episode. There are some scenes I didn't like, like the opening with Stimpy, the scene with Ren's dad making it with Ren's mom, but the other scenes involving the frog and the Horse were hilarious. Especially the last five minutes. Funny, the entire episode focusing on Ren (and not Stimpy) made it much better. Rating: B+

Gary the Rat - I love this show. I was cracking up during this entire episode. Kelsey Grammar's acting is superb, and the constant twists and turns were great, especially the last scene with Marjorie. Rating: A

Stripperella - I've seen about 15 minutes of this show, and while the animation is still top-notch, the rest of it is STILL total crap. Rating: F

Classic Ren & Stimpy (Uncut) - It hasn't even come on yet, but what the hell. "Black Hole" and "Stimpy's Invention" are both classic. Rating: A- (not A+ because of the commercials)

1. Although I was hoping it was gonna be "Man's Best Friend" (Where Ren beats George Liquor senseless with an oar) I was pleasently surprised when I saw Ren just DESTROY Mr. Horse.

2. I especially liked the dream sequence ("I gotta lay off the Nyquill)

3. Yeah, gotta agree with you there

4. Especially Stimpy's Invention (The Happy Happy, Joy Joy song is one of the best, if not THE best, in cartoon history.)

This R&S was better, but still not too great. It wasn't as disgusting as last week, which is a plus, but there really weren't that many funny parts. I actually don't think I laughed at all.

At least Gary the Rat was good. Kelsey Grammar did a great job again, and most of the episode was pretty funny, particularly the ending. The only problem I have is with the weird guy and the cat, they aren't very funny. But, I suppose they help move the plot along a little.

Didn't watch Stripperella, as last week's did not interest me in the slightest, and I'd rather watch Futurama. I'll definetly keep watching Gary the Rat, and I'll watch R&S in the hope it will improve, but mostly because nothing else is on at that time anyway.

 

[Alaskanbullworm]

Ren and Stimpy- Well, it was better than last weeks, and we finally see Ren's parents. I missed the beginning however. The ending was great, and there wasn't as many gross things as last week.

Gary the Rat- Well, I'm hooked for the show. It has great quotes, jokes and characters. Best Quote of the show: "Somebody should tell her it's a vagina, not a clown car!"

Stripperella- Haha, the beginning was great with the guard holding up the baby as a body guard. Wow, Cheap-o is really cheap, checking all of the vending machines and stealing from a 89 cent store.It has great quotes and characters as well, too bad it's cancelled.

 

[JeffTMBG]

Ren and Stimpy was pretty good after the slow opening sequence. Pretty much picked up where John K. left off on Nick. Gary the Rat had one laugh again. Stripperella was okay. Cheapo was a fun character. I think I'd like this show better without the stripper gimmick.

 

[NeueZielZeon]

R&S:APC- "Ren Seeks Help"
Wow, this was a good episode. It seems that everyone else was right, "Onwards and Upwards" was just a "trial" episode to see what John K. could get away with. This episode had all the humorous disturbingness that made the old show so great, and didn't focus on really grossing the viewer out like last week. The animation quality has greatly jumped up also.
Great moments include Ren torturing the Frog ("Go ahead! Finish the job! I can't go back to my family looking like this!", or something to that extent) and Ren's mother suggesting to use a chainsaw instead of a handgun. This episode has totally redeemed the show in my eyes.
Grade: B+/A-

Gary the Rat- "Spring of Love"
Decent, but still not great. Not much else to say besides Grammer's voice acting continues to impress.
Grade: B

Stripperella- Didn't watch like usual

Classic Ren and Stimpy- "Black Hole/Stimpy's Invention"
"Black Hole" may be the weakest of the Commander Hoek segments IMO (not to mention one of the wierdest R&S episodes ever), but it's still good. "Stimpy's Invention" however, contains the classic Happy Happy Joy Joy, which alone, makes it a classic.
Grade: A

This block really isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be. If they just replaced Stripperella with an actual good show...(sorry to those who enjoy it)

 

[Condiment King]

"The Strip" wasn't as bad as last week, but still pretty bad. I actually don't even know why I watched. Oh well, I guess I was bored. Heh.

Ren and Stimpy's Adult Party Cartoon - The Horse sequences showed what they were trying to do last week with Dr. Stupid last week. While not as bad as last week, it still was not very good either. D-

Gary the Rat - Kelsey Grammar is great, but unfortunately, the animation just stuck out to me more this week. The animation isn't very good, but that still didn't deter from the story which was good. The dream sequence was great, and Kelsey has some very good lines. The meaningless deaths were done well. B+

Striperella - The villian was good. The animation is still good. The rest...still sucks. D-

I'm taping Family Guy and watching Ren & Stimpy Classics, which will probably be the best again tonight.

 

[Chrono1995]

Way too many commercials. I didn't mind it at first, but it seemed to take forever during "Ren & Stimpy." (Classic version, mind you).

Still, it was worth it. The entire "Happy Happy Joy Joy" sequence remains the best thing ever animated. I didn't realize until now how trippy the old R&S is, especially during "Black Hole."

I don't know what they're talking about with a digital restoration. Did anyone notice how bad the print looked when Stimpy was handed his underwear from Ren? Constant scratches and dirt marks all over the print.
