Yeah, I really hope these are the "full" episodes. This has the potential to be my favorite DVD release ever. Not to sound like a spoiled ninny saying "no log, no sale", I'll get this either way, but I'd REALLY like these to be complete.

The "cut" epidodes of R&S are the ones that originally aired. Some of the stuff just wasn't fit for broadcast when the show came out. The uncut episodes will feature stuff many of us have never seen.

Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy!

Actually there were a few episodes that were cut further after their first airing. The Powdered Toast Man segment where he did/said something unpatriotic (I forget the details) was altered after it first aired.

I think he burned the Bill of Rights. Something like that.

It was an ironic scene, of course, but the censors took it literally.

PTM wants to get a fire going and he finds "Dusty Old Papers" which he glances at and we see that they are the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He throws them into the fireplace which ignites a roaring fire.

I don't see it as unpatriotic. It was just showing how dense PTM is. Lets not forget in that episode he downs a passneger jet to slam into a truck that is about to run over a kitten. That is much more horrific.

That's the point, it's not unpatriotic... it's just everything that's even a possiblity is taken so seriously... to the point of absurdity.

From the story I read, it wasn't even "the censors", it was one single viewer that called in to complain after the first airing. Nickelodeon were so skittish about the show, however, that they went ahead and chopped the gag out.

I wonder if they'll put any of the other deleted stuff, things that weren't even in the original airings, on the dvd as well. Things like Stimpy and Sven Hoek going in the closet and playing in the litter box together, saying stuff like "look at me, I'm a sword-swallower!" :)

This series (as well as Ripping friends) had all sorts of cuts before airing. I wonder if the people who hate adult party are going to be dissapointed that these aren't the shows they remember.

People always Spout Man's Best friend and to me Cut or Uncut I found it to be a truely awful Cartoon. THe George Liquer Character isn't funny just overtly cruel. The Retraints put on R&S is what made the Team be creative and come up with things that would sneak into the eps subversivally. When all restraint was taken away on Spike the show became more cruel and Vulger and less Sly and whimsical. MBF I think leaned toward this and I can see why Nick did'nt allow it.

While it's true that there were all sorts of cuts made to "Ren and Simpy", none of the content was as extreme as the material on "Adult Party Cartoon". Since cuts weren't made to "Ren and Stimpy" until after the first airing of a show, I would imagine that seeing the episodes uncut for the first time in over ten years would actually bring back some fond memories of the show.

If anyone is interested in what was cut from R&S, this site offers a pretty good archive of the cuts that were made to the show.

This is excellent news. I like Ren & Stimpy & it is great that the season release of Ren & Stimpy will be uncut which is excellent.
