@Bugs:
Pass. Ren & Stimpy was lightning in a bottle that where part of why it worked was because of how different it was from what came before it, and now a lot of shows have since copied much of that. It didn’t work well without John K, it turned out awful when he came back to it later on (and in a similar environment as this), and he’s a pedophile, which is a bigger dealbreaker, so even though he’s not involved, it’s still going to get him attention he doesn’t deserve. Greenlight something original.
That part is a myth that he spread after he was fired four episodes into the second season. The show got made despite him, since he was terrible to work with in every way. It was the rest of the staff on the show that made it what it was, and that is evidenced by how bad every John K thing has been after Ren & Stimpy. The best episodes of the show happened after John K was fired. Even if he has a credit on it, that's more like a saying there was a deadweight chained to that ep's production.
I agree, though, that Ren & Stimpy was dated and this reboot is a weak cash grab that's just giving one of the shittiest people in animation attention. It sucks knowing how many incredible pilots don't get greenlit, but this gets rushed to production.
