Western Animation - Discuss American, Canadian, and European cartoons here (or just bitch about wokeshit, I guess)

[God of Nothing]

You know the parents don't do that, the type of people who have cocomelon kids just shove an iPad or kindle fire in front of their child whilst they contemplate on why they had kids or something. The modern iPad kid probably wouldn't be thrilled by classic cartoons sadly. Give the piglet its slop and it'll consume.

those kids were fucked to begin with then
the problem is adults don't care about raising their own children

Might have a hunch as to why that is..

For more context, CN really didn't do originals till Dexter's Lab, which came out after Ren & Stimpy ended in April 1996. They had a few stranglers like The Moxy Show, but Ted was pretty anal about it being a network for classic cartoons till Space Ghost opened the flood gate a little.

Right, CN wasn’t around when Ren & Stimpy was conceived. My bad. I found the cartoon okay.

I’m surprised Ren & Stimpy was never pitched to Cartoon Network.

What I want to know why wasn't it on MTV when they started adding animation on their programming like Liquid Television. And if John K complained about getting fired why didn't he move to Cartoon Network?(I'm certain they'd give him a worse time)

So, John K was involved in Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures as well. He does not have many good things to say about it.

Looking it up, it was aired on MTV, some episodes even premiered on the channel for being deemed too offensive for Nickelodeon. From Google AI:

• The Series Finale: The final episode of the show, "Sammy and Me / The Last Temptation," was deemed too intense for Nickelodeon and officially premiered on MTV on October 20, 1996.
• "Son of Stimpy": This episode also received its broadcast premiere on MTV a few years prior on January 13, 1993, before airing in a censored form on Nickelodeon later that year.

As for John K, the man had a piss-poor reputation as a perfectionist that could never complete an episode (amongst other things like abuse allegations and potential pedophilia). MTV likely wouldn’t hire him seeing as he blew it with the sister company.
Also, given the ticking-time-bomb nature of K and his inability to complete things, Ren & Stimpy quickly fell apart in ratings as other shows actually had new content. He was surpassed by Rugrats fast, along with a host of other Nick shows, making it not worth the hassle.

As for Cartoon Network, as stated above, they weren’t really doing originals till 1996 with Dexter. He would have had to go to FOX or another smaller channel if not Nick. Obviously Disney would be out of the question.

I always get this feeling if he worked for Adult Swim and blew it like he did with Nick, and blames CN and Adult Swim for it, every Adult Swim bumper after his firing would have phrases and quips taking potshots against him and his fans. Something like this:

John K has a thread here, I just remembered. Anyway, John K is practically blacklisted from the industry for obvious reasons. Well, in his words, he “retired.”
