Nothing, but there are some on VHS. Check Amazon.

Well, only if "nothing" means "nothing except for the three _Best Of Ren &
Stimpy_ discs from Time-Life that collectively contain the first season and
eight episodes from the second season". Those discs certainly aren't the
greatest-quality releases in the world, but they certainly constitute _R&S_
on DVD.

Time-Life has lost the rights to _R&S_ and no longer offers these DVDs for
sale on their site, but there are still used copies floating around on eBay
and other sites. For example:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6302126118


You might want to hold off hunting the Time-Life discs down, though:
Stephen Worth of Spumco has claimed (in this thread, among others)...

http://groups.google.com/groups?thre...0pqs%404ax.com

....that Spumco is producing its own three-DVD set for Nickelodeon, with
uncut versions of the cartoons and other supplemental material. If that set
ever comes to pass, it should be superior to the Time-Life releases.

HTH,

Are the Time Life sets edited in any way?

no, and they include the original pilot, "Dog Pound Hop", which became the
opening credit sequence. I do wish Time-Life had included the holiday episode,
though, and some supplements...

My mistake. Thanks for correcting it.

There was a Columbia House set or something, but nothing over the counter. :^(

I believe they are *slightly* edited, but I'm not really familiar enough
with the various versions of _R&S_ to be absolutely certain.

A quick check on DVD-Basen, however, turns up a couple of DVD reviews...

http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/read.php?ID=8654
http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=5718

....both of which discuss the edits in some detail.

Long past, IIRC. I seem to recall R&S began in late summer of 91. If
nothing else, maybe a 15th annv. set in '06?

I'd actually like to see MTV's The Maxx get the DVD treatment pretty
soon. The 10-year for that is pretty much around the corner and has
been unaired for almost that long.

Ren & Stimpy?
 

What's available on DVD?

Thanks,
