In 2003, Kricfalusi successfully brought the pair back to TV when ''Ren & Stimpy: Adult Party Cartoon'' debuted on Spike TV. However, there was some [[Executive Meddling]] still—for starters, and much to his chagrin, he was forced by Spike to shove a lot of, in his words, "unnecessary adult themes" into it due to Spike wanting another money-maker along the lines of ''[[South Park]]''. The show was fairly well received in ratings and reviews (although many fans hated it for its excessive gross-out jokes) but due to John only being able to complete three of the nine requested episodes on time, the show was canceled after just a ''month'' of airtime. Plans for a second season for ''Adult Party Cartoon'', three episodes were drafted. Spike however decided to cancel those plans on the last second.

At the height of its popularity, ''Ren & Stimpy'' also started airing on Nickelodeon's step brother MTV. As one of the few non-music shows on the channel at the time, it thus unwittingly played a role in MTV's [[Network Decay]] even before ''[[Beavis and Butthead|Beavis and Butt-head]]''.
