Shows like the ren and stimpy show

The Ren & Stimpy Show (also known simply as Ren and Stimpy) is an American animated television series created by Canadian animator John Kricfalusi and originally produced by Spümcø for Nickelodeon that aired from August 11, 1991 to October 20, 1996. The series follows the adventures of the title characters: Ren Höek, an emotionally unstable and sociopathic Chihuahua; and Stimpy, a good-natured yet dimwitted cat.

The Ren & Stimpy Show was one of Nickelodeon's first original animated series—known as "Nicktoons"—alongside Rugrats and Doug. In contrast with other shows on the network and throughout its run to present day, the series is deemed controversial for its dark humor, sexual innuendos, adult humor, violence and shock value. This controversy contributed to the production staff's altercations with Nickelodeon's Standards and Practices department. The series ended its original run on Nickelodeon on December 16, 1995, with a total of five seasons and 51 episodes. In addition, Spümcø's failure to deliver episodes on time and their deteriorating relationship with the network led to Kricfalusi's termination from the show in 1992, with Games Animation producing the remainder of the series. One episode was initially left unaired until it was broadcast on MTV on October 20, 1996.
