The GOOD 'OL or 'why cartoons now blow'
ChadTower:
I remember very clearly watching it on MTV in 1992 - and there's no way that content would have made it onto Nickelodeon. They must have been showing stuff on MTV that Nickelodeon refused to show.

Negative. It was Nickelodeon (or some channel, it definitely wasn't MTV first). I think they were caught off guard by it. The artist couldn't keep up and eventually MTV got the original 6 episodes (I think it was 6) and the newer craptacular ones.

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ren_and_Stimpy_Show
The Ren and Stimpy Show premiered on Nickelodeon on Sunday, August 11, 1991 and aired new episodes on the channel from 1991 to 1996. The Ren and Stimpy Show had a reputation for indecent humor. The controversy was mainly a result of imagery and cartoon violence.[2] Episode names included “Stimpy’s First Fart.”[3] In 1992, Nickelodeon dismissed Kricfalusi and production moved from Kricfalusi's Spümcø studios to Games Animation,[4] where it stayed until its cancellation in 1997. Reruns are broadcast currently by Nicktoons Network and also, as of June 1, 2009, MTV2 [1].

...of course, Wikipedia does say it was on MTV in 1992. :)

I remember seeing a more adult version early on on MTV, before I ever saw it on Nick. I noticed the content was a bit watered down after that.
I'm not arguing with anyone on the facts, just saying I had the same experience as Chad.
