Cartoon Network vs. Nickelodoen Part 2/10

Battle 2: The Ren and Stimpy Show! vs. Cow & Chicken

Ren and Stimpy, along with Doug and The Rugrats, was one of the first-ever Nicktoons to be broadcast. It ran from 1991 to 1995, and starred a psychotic chihuahua named Ren and a kind dim-witted cat named Stimpy. The show was notorious for explicit potty humor, sexual innuendo, adult jokes, and violence. It was censored for numerous reasons, such as a sequence involving a severed head, a close-up of Ren's face being grated by a man's stubble, and a segment of the United States Constitution burning to a crisp. There was even a banned episode of Ren and Stimpy called "Man's Best Friend", which featured violent imagery.

Like The PowerPuff Girls, Cow & Chicken started life as a pilot on What a Cartoon!, and eventually became its own TV show. It ran from 1997 to 1999. Cow & Chicken was a show about a cow named Cow and a chicken named Chicken, who would do all sorts of things, like going back in time and dropping a quarter in the primordial soup, discovering the fabled Grizzly Beaver, and journeying through Cow's four stomachs. Other characters included Mom and Dad, who were only shown from the waist up, Red Guy, a devious naked devil, and Flem and Earl, Chicken's best friends. It was a weird show, having a similar humor to Ren and Stimpy, though not as explicit. Charlie Adler, the voice of Buster Bunny in Tiny Toon Adventures and Ed and Bev Bighead in Rocko's Modern Life, voiced just about everyone in Cow & Chicken.

Now which one do I think is better? Well, since I've only seen like three or four episodes of Ren and Stimpy, and I heard it was disgusting, I have to go with Cow & Chicken. See you tomorrow when I compare The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy to Invader ZIM!
