August 11, 1991 –

The first regularly scheduled episode of The Ren and Stimpy Show premiered on this date.
Series creator John Kricfalusi was adamant about Stimpy not having a thick dopey sounding voice commonly seen in dim-witted cartoon sidekicks, having already chosen Billy West to provide Stimpy’s voice, Mr West tested a variety of voices until John Kricfalusi finally settled on a Larry Fine type voice.
