    Ren and Stimpy advance reviews

    I doubt he likes the remastering or commercial fades. But considering he made at least a couple of the cuts in question himself, I'd bet he prefers them to the Nickelodeon versions. That's not to deny that mistakes might have been made... with some combination of choices made from what was...

    These are comments after watching the first disc: 5 out of the 6 episodes are the "Digitally Remastered" (SpikeTV?

    Yes. Things were not only cut, but alterations and additions were supposedly made before airing by Nick. Here's one possibility regarding a known alteration that John K. disapproved of: the 'whistling grandpa' segment where Nick added the Mountain King/'M' reference, which was excised for the...

    Can't all the puppets and martyrs just get along? Jason, it's been suggested that the set should have been labeled "Director's Cut." If John K. himself approved these versions, that does provide a clue as to how significant the edits in question are. One of them has already been noted as a...

    In his statment, John K. very clearly said, He also stated that he will look further into the matter. Jack, I'm not bashing anyone. Teasing a little, yes. I know I know, what's the fun in martrydom if it's not self-inflicted? Here's another review, from Digitally Obsessed

As I understand it, your enjoyment of the 27 officially uncut shorts will be ruined since they share the same digital space with the 5 (allegedly) edited shorts. That's absurd. It's like the comparison made between this...

    Then I'll just have to say 'neener neener' to you all doing without, while I enjoy the 27 uncut shorts with extras. I would be hesitant in screaming "fraud" as there is no evidence of a deliberate misleading. I am forgiving them somewhat for their sloppiness, it's true. But I am also rewarding...

    Point taken, Kevin. I think Paramount will hear plenty from fans about this mistake, and hopefully make amends (corrected disc exchange). But if you don't really care about the edits, as the poster had stated, why not buy it? I mean that and see nothing wrong in it. He knows what he's getting...

    Ren and Stimpy advance reviews

    ...and I would say that historical revisionists sometimes like to rationalize evidence that a beloved entity has a not so squeaky clean past. I think we're living in an era of extreme rationalization... at least here in the US. The adjectives "racist" and "contemporary (of it's time)" are not...
