"Man's Best Friend" aired on the Ren & Stimpy Adult Party Cartoon for Spike in 2003 alongside the uncut show's pilot, "Big House Blues". "Sammy and Me / The Last Temptation" aired on October 20, 1996 on MTV.
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".
