To me, it's great news that John K. is manning the helm of the new "Ren and Stimpy" episodes on TNN. (I'd call the channel by its new name, but I'm afraid that Spike Lee will sue me for using his name without paying him a royalty. Sheesh.)

But I'm still wondering about the voices. My guess/hope is that JK will resume his duties as the voice of Ren. Billy West did a fine job taking over this role after JK's dismissal by Nickelodeon, but I can't think of anyone who could take over BW's voicing of Stimpy.

Does anybody know - for certain - who'll be doing whose voices when the series returns?

(Yes, this is the second time I've posted this message. The first post still hadn't shown up after twelve hours so I thought I'd try it again. My news server has been acting strangely lately. My apologies if I've double-posted.)

I can confirm it. West and John K. do not get along and West will not be involved with the new cartoon in any way.

yeah im not sure about the whole story but from what i understand it went something like this (if im wrong please correct me).

john and billy were friends after they met in the animation industry. thats one of the reasons billy was hired to be stimpy. after nick booted out john most of the other people left with him but billy stayed and even did the voice of ren and after that they didnt speak anymore. ive gathered this from numerous sources and as far as i can tell its what happened.
