I just found out about a 3-disc set available from Time-Life. Who knows when we'll get something else, so I went ahead and placed my order. They'll sit next to my Time-Life Beavis & Butthead discs.

Dammit you mean its not the NEW Ren and Stimpy
(ducks tomatoes)

just kidding this is excellent news! Thanks

THANK YOU for the great news.

When I first joined DVDtalk back in 2000, one of the first threads I started was asking about Ren & Stimpy on DVD.

I honestly never thought that the original episodes that John Kricfalusi was involved in would ever get on disc, due to his leaving the show over some disagreements.

I was about to say 'just about', but then I checked an episode list. Man, I had no clue this show ran for so long... 5 seaons! Wow... looking at the episode list, it looks like I bailed after season 2. I probably saw an episode or two from Season 3, wasn't impressed, and never went back.

I had no clue there were so many non-John K. episodes made. Wow.

Anyway, I'm pretty damn happy with the contents of the set. This is a definite must-buy.

You know, I started thinking about the disc-episode count here. Now, I'm loving the fact that they finally put R&S out, but. . . .

3 discs for 6 episodes? That's like 45 min a disc. What the hell? Unless all the disc's bandwidth is sucked up by alternate versions, 3 audio commentaries and a ton of trailers, there's no reason to spread them out like this.

. . . . well, aside from increasing the disc count to boost the MSRP, that is.

I dont mind the 30 buck price tag, but I wish studios wouldnt play games like this.

Dammit! No shipping to the UK....

Any of you lot wanna get 'em for me, and i'll wing you some cash?

I think you need to reread the whole thread

Um . . . why?

With 14 shorts a disc, at BEST there's only 140 min - and I know that isnt right because Log sure as hell ain't no 10 min cartoon.

So 6 episodes in the first season, 3 discs - you do the math. Something that could EASLY fit on 2 discs was spread out over three to increase the MSRP.

I'll still buy them (sooner or later) but it sucks when the studios play us like that.

I don't think that's necessary. Looks like all the classics are here. Although, I didn't see Son of Stimpy. "He talks to farts, man".

There is a line at the site which indicates it begins shipping on 9/15/03.

Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!

These are all the episodes I wanted; after John K. got the boot, I pretty much stopped watching. Can't wait to see these again.

Thanks to El-Kabong for the free shipping code.

Is 'Don't Wiz on the Electrical Fence' in one of the eps included. I almost died when I saw that show. It's the show where Rem's relative visit's and hits it off with Stimpy? I don't know what the show was called.

Yes, it's in the Sven Höek episode.

It's scary that I know these so well.
