The "new" Tnn

yendiSo, after two weeks of watching the new animation block on TNN, I am surprised by two things:
1. Stripperella is far and away the best of the new shows.
and
2. Ren and Stimpy is far and away the worst.
Really. Jon K has completely lost it, from what I can see. The post-Jon K eps of the old show were leagues better than this crap -- it looks like Nik actually knew what they were doing. I'm just amazingly underwhelmed.
And Stripperella is nicely self-aware, not even attempting to take itself seriously. And that's a good thing. It's got fun villains and nifty dialogue so far, and if it's not quite a top-notch show, it's still worth catching (though tivo folks should set their pass to record five minutes longer, since TNN, being an MTV network, has no fucking clue how to make their shows start or end on time).
Gary the Rat, the other show, is cute, and has made me laugh out loud more than a few times. It's also sticking around on my Tivo, although it's a lot closer to the bubble than Stripperella is.
