The GOOD 'OL or 'why cartoons now blow'
leapinlew:
so, it seems it was on Nickelodeon first (how weird is that?), and then they showed it on MTV. I remember the promo's of it being on MTV after it was already off the air and I recorded them for a while.
Who would've thought that show would ever be on Nick? It was on at like 9 or 10am too!

The (my) saturday morning line up when I was a punk kid:
Justice League
Bugs Bunny Road Runner Show
Thundar the Barbarian
Fat Albert
I think I came too early to get into the Transformers and G.I. Joe always bothered me that they apparently fought their war with Cobra with laser tag guns.
I didn't watch them back in the day, but now that my kids do, we watch the later 90's versions of Spiderman, Ironman, and the Hulk. Pretty good stuff, although they seems to shoot with laser tag guns too.
I remember Ren & Stimpy on MTV when I was in college. But I had heard of them (never seen) before that and it was my understanding they were on Nick.

I was just looking at a timeline at http://www.rugratonline.com/time9095.htm
Found this:
1991
August 11: Rugrats was among one of the first 3 Nicktoons to air on Nick, along with Doug and Ren & Stimpy. Doug was the very first Nicktoon to be seen on Nick on this day -- it debuted at 10AM ET, followed by Rugrats at 10:30AM ET, then Ren & Stimpy at 11AM ET
1993
January 10: Ren & Stimpy is picked up by MTV, where it ran intermittently for about 3 years. MTV carried some episodes that were either banned or edited by Nick. Ren & Stimpy is the first Nicktoon to be seen in the US on both Nick and another channel.

Except when there is a marketing interest... in which case the marketing firm watches Wikipedia like a hawk and makes sure all of the info they want seen is proper.

I just loathed that show for the few minutes here and there that I caught. Just loathed it. I just kept hoping someone would take out the little girl.

Correction. EVERYONE is yelling/shouting/screaming on that show almost ALL the time. That show requires the remote holder to turn the volume down to accommodate the elevated decibel levels.
Classic SBSQ is where it's at nowadays. I'll agree about the current seasons mostly blowing. I do love the bits of humor they throw in there that only the parents understand.
