I grew up watching that show, and can’t ever enjoy it like I used to. The 90s weren’t as great as they make them out on Portlandia. A lot of lower middle class kids turned to cable tv for escape when they felt like they had no allies.
This is good reporting…
But it hurts knowing what entertained you when you had very few allies came at someone else’s expense.
(Allowing someone like that to do shoe after show… shouldn’t have happened. Full stop.)
It’s so sad that people covered for this creep for so long. I could never watch Ren & Stimpy even as a kid. It was obviously the product of a degenerate mind.
I’ve never heard a bad word about, say, the creator of Rocko’s Modern Life - there was a similar vibe to the art and humor, though R&S was darker looking back.
