This is a list of episodes of the animated series The Ren & Stimpy Show. The show premiered on Nickelodeon on August 11, 1991 directly following the premieres of Doug and Rugrats, and it ran for five seasons until December 16, 1995 with the finale "A Scooter for Yaksmas". The series initially had no consistent grouping of segments into episodes; episodes and interstitial segments aired out of production order, some episodes and interstitials were produced for one season and aired in another, and two episodes, "Man's Best Friend" and "Sammy and Me / The Last Temptation", did not air in the series' original run at all.

The first list is ordered according to the original television air date, and a second list provides the episode order according to the DVD releases which groups the cartoons into 52 episodes.[1] The list does not include episodes from the spin-off Ren & Stimpy "Adult Party Cartoon".

"Man's Best Friend" is included in the first & second season DVD set.

John Kricfalusi cites the violent imagery—Ren beating up George Liquor with an oar—as the primary reason for getting his production company and himself fired from The Ren & Stimpy Show.[2]

Season 3 (1993–94)

This season's episodes were interspersed with the short segments "Cheesefist", "Chicken in a Drawer", "Dog Water", "Flod", "You Are What You Eat", and short segments from previous seasons.
