Yes, that's hard to miss! At the end of last week,
we had the scoop that
Ren & Stimpy were coming back to DVD...two whole seasons' worth! The question was, "Is it cut episodes, like the Time/Life offerings, or are they uncensored for the first time on home video?"
Now, with the cover art we've revealed above, you have an answer that's hard to argue with! It will be a "happy happy, joy joy!" moment for long-suffering fans on
October 12, 2004, when they can purchase Paramount's release of
John K. Presents: The Ren & Stimpy Show - The 1st and 2nd Seasons Uncut Collector's Edition Box Set.
Whew! What a mouthful! Here's the copy from the studio that describes this release:
They're baaaaack! The demented cartoon that kick-started the animation craze is finally available uncut for the first time ever on DVD! Ren, the tempermental Chihuahua, and Stimpy, the naive cat, invite you to slap on a happy helmet for hours of twisted entertainment! It's the complete first 2 seasons of the cult classic series in a collectible box set. Over 30 classic, over-the-top episodes are included, such as "Man's Best Friend," the rarely-seen "banned" episode, and "Stimpy's Invention," considered by many fans as one of the best Ren & Stimpy episodes of all time
