LOS ANGELES The brazen humor of The Ren & Stimpy Show will be revisited in a new Comedy Central version of the animated series.
The original program that was a hit for Nickelodeon will be reimagined in partnership with Nickelodeon Animation Studio, Comedy Central said Wednesday.
Ren, a psychologically challenged Chihuahua, and Stimpy, less intelligent than your average cat, were created by John Kricfalusi and debuted on Nickelodon in 1991.
The Ren & Stimpy Show drew criticism from observers who deemed it unsuitable for children, citing its crass jokes and sexual innuendo.
On Comedy Central, the show will join other adult-animation series including South Park and a revamped version of Beavis and Butt-Head, the channel said.
