the episode where ren hits george over the head with the oar was aired. I saw it a long time ago aired on Much More Music. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.6.225.142 (talk • contribs)
I have a feeling that the reason George Liquor's name was edited out has to do with the fact that "liquor" means alcohol, something Nickelodeon extremely rarely to NEVER MENTIONS.

The current explanation for George's genesis is supported in a partial scan of an article from 'Film Threat' on John K's own blog:

In it's current context it is educational but does it qualify as a 'Citation'? Does the copyright of the original magazine mean it is invalid for a Wiki citation?

This is nice, with some good references, but there are some issues that keep it from meeting good article criteria.

1) I am almost certain "Dog Show" was shown on Nickelodeon. It may have even been before John K was fired. Do you know what sources Jayne Pilling used to say the episode was not aired? Do you have a second source? Done clarified - Gak Blimby (talk) 17:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
2) In "Dog Show", George introduced himself as "George" (pause for sound effect) "American". The sound effect was a record scratch used by Nickelodeon to censor "Liquor", making the character seem like he was named "George American". Some people refer to the character as "George American" because of this edit. This may be something worth noting, if you find sources of course.

3) When John K was fired from "Ren & Stimpy", it was widely publicized that it was because he routinely missed deadlines. John K has claimed he was never fired, Nickelodeon simply stopped paying him. However, the article says he claims to have been fired because of "Man's Best Friend". You may wish to verify and/or clarify this discrepancy. Clockster (talk) 09:12, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

This article is not a Good Article. I corrected a few typos but there are still numerous problems of spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Many sentences are repeats. For example, the last sentence of the Creation section is essentially the same as the last sentence of the Character section. There are several examples of poor writing, such as the phrase "him and the Spumco staff."
Further, there is a marked lack of clarity in this piece. The sentence "The Ren and Stimpy Show" was a series that Kricfalusi created." What kind of series? When stating that the show "ran" at Spumco, what do you mean: drawn, produced, managed?
Many facts are confusing. When John K's father is mentioned, do you mean his father or the character "Dad" from the show? When I read your sources, it seemed to indicate the character, not John K's actual father. Also, was the "Dog Show" episode broadcast or not? You say it was, but end the paragraph saying it wasn't.
Lastly, my biggest concern is that Gak Blimby in at least one case lifted an entire section from his source. The segment "Some fans of the series have insisted the rumor that George's last name was censored because an official at Nickelodeon believed that the name was not a reference to alcohol but a sexual act ("lick her"). Nickelodeon has denied this rumor but has not explained the censoring of George's last name" was taken straight from Forbidden Animation, as [1] shows. I have deleted that section for obvious reasons, but am concerned that there are other copyright issues going on here. Clockster (talk) 13:54, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
