I never watched that Adult Party Cartoon, but I hear it's unbelievably bad, and the idea just sucks to begin with. It seems to me that a lot of the fun of Ren & Stimpy comes from the fact that it really pushed the "family-friendly" envelope as far as it could go; by making it an actual adults-only program, I think the creators really missed the point.
John K. himself said he didn't really want to push the limits, but Spike TV ("the first network for men" lol) wanted the show to compete with South Park for pure raunchiness. The thing is, South Park isn't just raunchy for the sake of raunchy. It's actually pretty smart. Anyway, John K. was pressured into it by the network.
According to the always-right Wikipedia, he's since expressed interested in bringing the show back again but this time "just for the kids" once more, as it was original intended. Supposedly, Viacom still owns the rights and are getting in the way.
Huh! I had no idea. All this time, I thought it was Spumco's idea to make it over-the-top raunchy.
Even though I never particularly cared for the show, I hope John's able to bring it back again. Between that and the Beavis and Butt-head revival, there would be a ton of happy 90s kids!
