The Ren and Stimpy series premiered

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.
