Season 3 is the third season of The Ren & Stimpy Show, the series was renewed for a third season, however this time, creator John Kricfalusi, along with his studio Spümcø, won’t attend this season as John ended up being fired from Nickelodeon, after being fired for Man’s Best Friend (from the second season), for being infamously difficult to work with, and as well being reasoned to be fired for missing deadlines. Plus, it was confirmed that John K. won’t voice as Ren Hoek anymore after his firing back then, instead, Billy West will be taking over for John voicing as Ren, as well as other actors playing as other characters that were created at Spümcø, old or new, but apparently, George Liquor (the mascot of Spümcø) did not return after season two because of the fact that Nickelodeon hated the character and so, many plot points featuring him were rejected, George was meant to appear in more episodes, but Nickelodeon objected to the character due to his name and character, with Bob Camp stating that Nickelodeon disliked his name referencing alcohol and sounding like ‘lick her., as of season three, he is replaced by Wilbur Cobb for later seasons due to Nickelodeon’s hatred towards George Liquor.

Also, episodes were drafted from Spümcø to Games Animation (NIckelodeon Animation Studios’ name back from the early 1990’s to 1998) after John Kricfalusi’s firing.

Jimminy Lummox - After Ren does way too much cruel things to the habitat (prank calls, infecting the tap water, yelling at baby birds, trying to prank Stimpy, and almost killing a fly by trying to rip one of its wings off), Stimpy then lends his conscience to Ren to set him right, but it seems to upset him more.
