What makes it different from others?

Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Sadly Over-hyped

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

DOUG! Now perhaps some of you are wondering why I think so harshly of what appears to be a relatively harmless cartoon. Well let's just say you knew someone with a very similar name. Someone who grew up with that name all his life. And happened to be raised at the exact same time this show came out. Do you think any jokes or funny remarks in connection with this show could possibly affect his life in any negative way? Do you? DO YOU?! But with that said, this was a pretty lame show. I mean the show was pretty much just about a kid who went to high school. And that's it, it was pretty much just about a kid who went to high school. Doug, or Doug Funnie if you want to know his full name, has some very odd friends, like Mosquito Valentine. Bud Dink. His dog, pork chop. And Patti Mayonaisse. What is up with these names, what you didn't have room for Johnny Pictureframe, Larry Toiletpaper, or Susie Contraceptive? Urgh. He spends most of his time going after Patti Mayonaisse because, well, she looks pretty. And apparently that's all he needs. Also, what is up with everybody's skin color in this show? Did the town get infected with radioactive poisoning? On top of that, the music always sounds like it's literally farting out its soundtrack. Listen to some music that's suppose to sound scat. There's also this bully named Roger who constantly tries to make Doug's life a living hell. Why? Because all kids with leather jackets are just bullies now, didn't you know that, it's like an official law! He also travels around with his pet cat named Stinky who probably lives up to his namesake. I think the best way to describe this show is that it's kind of like an early episode of The Simpsons. They're not funny, not well animated, and surround in a world of awkward uncomfortableness. But whereas The Simpsons got funny, Doug just psychologically tortured anyone named Doug for life.

Ahh the memories of this show just make me feel warm inside, This show really takes me back to when everything was simple. This show stars the title character Doug funny who's just an average kid with a wild imagination. This show shows most of the struggles that kids dealt with in elementary school. In this show we see all of doug's imaginations in which some good and some are bad. Along in this show are other awesome characters like his blue and hip best "human" friend Skeeter valentine, his other best friend, porkchop his dog, his love interest Patti mayonaise, and his arch rival Roger klots. The things I love about all of the character are that Skeeter is very funny, kinda dumb, but loyal and has doug's back, Porkchop is so smart and also always has doug's back and he's almost human because he walks most of the time, Patti is a sweet girl who is very nice to doug but I am a little bummed that they never kissed, And my favorite character Roger who is a bully and a asshole with a good heart and I think deep down he cares for doug and is one of his good friends. Overall this show is a 9/10 for me I really dislike the Disney version that one sucks do yourself a favor people and don't watch that one and stick to the classic nickelodeon version.

I always loved the cartoon "Doug". It was a great show and, really invigorated my love of art (as I am now working my way toward a degree so that I can perform animation).As to a comment earlier, about Nickelodeon needing to bring back 'Doug', they can't. They don't own it. They own the original episodes from '91 to '94, but after that, Jumbo (who created the show) was bought out by Disney. Remember the late nineties Doug with the longer hair, shorts and shirt? And Patti's new hairdo, and the BeeBee shaped junior high school? That was Disney's "Brand Spankin' New Doug" or "Disney's Doug". So sorry, but so many of Disney's shows get cancelled after just a few seasons, they have no real long term investment in any of their shows (with the exception of the Mickey Mouse gang, and possibly with Raven Simone's show that has been granted a "stay of execution" by being ridiculously popular, to a point that they would lose a lot of $$$ if they did)

Doug is one of the most memorable cartoons to ever air on the first kid's network. Every episode contained a simple believable plot featuring 11 year old Doug Funnie having some sort of problem that kids could relate to. This is the exact kind of quality TV that they showed on Nick back in the good old days. Shows that didn't have to frequently resort to pop culture references or potty humor to please kids and parents. Now on Nick today they mostly show boring, formulaic, unimaginative and unfunny crap that could give "quality" a bad name.Classic Nicktoon stars some of the most unforgettable characters, Doug of course but also Skeeter Valentine, Doug's goofy and likable best friend, Porkchop, Doug's independent dog and best non-human friend, Patti, Doug's love interest, Roger Klotz, a rare animated bully that is appealing and very funny, and Judy, Doug's sister obsessed with Shakespeare and arts.Doug is a Nickelodeon gem that should not (and will never) be forgotten. It's a rare Nicktoon that is wholesome, funny, endearing, and hugely amusing. Give us Doug over "All Grown Up" and "The X's" any day.
