Description
Request a cartoon scorecard here: spongeguy11.deviantart.com/art…In 2001, Ren and Stimpy began airing reruns on VH1 as Ren and Stimpy Rocks. The show did very well in rating which caught the ratings struggling network Spike TV's attention. Since they were struggling in ratings, Spike TV contacted John K and Spumco (who got the rights of the series back) to make new episodes for the network and thus, the spin off was born. Eric Bauza replaced Billy West as Stimpy due to West refusing to work with John again while John reprised his roles as Ren and Mr. Horse. However despite doing well in ratings, the negative reviews is what got the show canned after just 3 episodes aired with the remaining 3 being released on DVD three years later. Spumco closed down shortly afterwards due to a lawsuit with Carbunkle Cartoons and John K has since become a freelancer.
As for the franchise, APC's bad reception killed any chance at a revival so we're stuck with this as our grand finale to the franchise. Let's just ignore this and consider season 5 of the original series (or season 2 for the more harsher fans) the grand finale.
This show (Mr. Horse's gray fur) SUCKS!!! The writing's terrible and is too random even for the show's standards. The episodes drag on way too much and show why the original series needed the bridging segments in the half hour episodes! The wit of the original series is now replaced by blatant sexual innuendos and terrible gross out humor. Ren went from a jerk that had a moral compass to a full blown pscyopath and Stimpy's even dumber. Even their voices are off! The only remotely tolerable aspect is the animation but even then the terrible content still ruins it!!
For fans of the original, never watch it! Not gonna do rankings since the series is so short.

The only truly awful episode of APC for me is Naked Beach Frenzy. Every other episode ranges from Mediocre-Good for me.

Only because I liked this part of the episode:
Mr. Horse: I'll tell you what's wrong with you. (beat; punches Ren in the face) YOU'RE FUCKING CRAZY!!! THAT'S WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!!!
Ren: Crazy?
Mr. Horse: That's right! You need to be locked up, away from decent, normal people! What kind of a lunatic are you!? You just walk up to strangers on the street and tell them "Hey mister, YOU WANNA HEAR SOME SICK STORIES OF MY TWISTED YOUTH!?"
Ren: I don't understand. I came to you for help! I bared my soul to you, I told you my darkest secrets, AND NOW YOU TELL ME I'M CRAZY!? What kind of a psychologist are you!?
Mr. Horse: Psychologist!? Are you nuts!? I'M A HORSE!

I liked that part too, but I don't think it saves it from being the worst cartoon episode I've ever seen.

Stimpy's Pregnant was way worser with out it basically crapped all over Son of Stimpy.

Believe it or not, I actually find the "Adult Party Cartoon" to be not that bad. It's not good either, what with all the padding and grossout, but it doesn't do anything heinous enough to be bad in my opinion. "Meh" is the perfect word to describe it.
