What if Ren & Stimpy was moved to MTV?

The Ren & Stimpy Show, commonly referred to as simply Ren & Stimpy, is an American animated television series created by Canadian animator John Kricfalusi for Nickelodeon. Originally produced by Spümcø (later Games Animation), the series aired from August 11, 1991, to December 16, 1995, spanning a total of five seasons and 52 episodes. The series follows the misadventures of Ren Höek, an emotionally unstable and psychopathic Chihuahua dog; and Stimpy, a good-natured and dimwitted Manx cat. It is the third of Nickelodeon's original animated series—known as "Nicktoons"—alongside Rugrats and Doug—and is considered to be one of the progenitor series of the brand.

Remember that, this show was horrifying.

Of course, we all known that the cased was solved, i saw them because Ren & Stimpy is banned from Nickelodeon due to the episode The Boy Who Cried Rat! with Ren disguised as a Mickey Mouse imposter. (see, did you know that MCA filed a lawsuit against Nickelodeon? because MCA won a lawsuit and Blackie the Lamb is way better than Ren & Stimpy, i think MCA decided to forced Nickelodeon to stop making bad things and gets more censorships.)

That means, i decided to make Ren & Stimpy moved to MTV in the same year of the show’s debut.

This theory is interconnected to Paramount Cartoon Studios/Harvey Comics/Universal (AU) and What if Viacom and MCA co-owned MTV Networks.

Spümcø would still evolved for Ren & Stimpy.

Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon" wouldn't exist, with most of the produced/unproduced episodes and segments being integrated into The Ren & Stimpy Show.

All the bad shows made to imitate Ren & Stimpy would be produced instead for MTV and Comedy Central.

In 1996 due to the Time Warner/Turner merger and Hanna-Barbera being folded into Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios, Cartoon Network would be aimed at Kids to Adults, meaning that Adult Swim wouldn't exist, with its animated shows aired on Cartoon Network and its live-action shows aired on TBS.
