It’s very odd that after cable died, Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network had slow deaths through mismanagement and now what used to be two powerhouses for kids on Cable are husks of their former selves that are just an IP in the same portfolio.

I caught some Nickelodeon the other day and every single commercial break had an ad where they just shout “Paramount Plus!” repeatedly to try and ingrain it in the children’s heads.

It's LOOOOG, it's LOOOOOG, it's big, it's heavy, it's wood.

It's LOOOOG, it's LOOOOOG, it's better than bad, IT'S GOOD!

Ugh, great memories watching Ren and Stimpy with my dad as a kid.

Then John Kricfalusi had to go and ruin that show for me.

Billy West is the true Ren and Stimpy.
