Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon" (a.k.a. "Ren & Stimpy's All New Adult Party Cartoon") was an adult animated television series created by Canadian animator John Kricfalusi for the cable network Spike (previously known as TNN). The series was an adults-only-revival, spin-off to the original animated series, The Ren & Stimpy Show, which had previously aired on the American children's cable network Nickelodeon. It aired from June 26, 2003 to July 24, 2003, when Spike's entire animation block was discontinued. The last 3 episodes never aired on Spike and originally intended to end on August 14, 2003, but the 3 episodes are available on Ren & Stimpy "The Lost Episodes" DVD and 5 episodes were ultimately cancelled. The series is rated TV-MA for explicit sexual dialogue and sexual references and innuendos. The series was produced by Spümcø and Spike Animation Studios.
The original Ren & Stimpy Show aired from 1991 to 1996 on the children's network Nickelodeon. The show's creator, John Kricfalusi, had many altercations with the network, eventually culminating in his termination. Nickelodeon took it upon its newly formed animation studio to continue the series for the rest of its run. About a decade after Kricfalusi's termination, in 2002, Viacom contracted him to produce a new version of his series for an updated version of the TNN network devoted to programming for male audiences. Kricfalusi said that TNN wanted an "extreme" version of The Ren & Stimpy Show. TNN gave Kricfalusi greater control of the writing and contents of the episodes than the control given by Nickelodeon. Kricfalusi produced seven new cartoons aimed at adult audiences. Some of the head storyboard artists, screenwriters, and animators returned from the original Ren and Stimpy series, such as Vincent Waller, Eddie Fitzgerald, and Jim Smith, but most of the animation and writing team were a new team of artists, specifically instructed and headed by Kricfalusi himself.
