Show Summary

  • Ended

Created by former Nickelodeon artist Jim Jinkins in 1990 and produced through Jinkins' production company, Jumbo Pictures Inc., Doug follows the life of an average kid named Doug Funnie.

''

In 1991, the Nickelodeon produced episodes began airing and we find 11 1/2 year-old Douglas Yancey Funnie and his family (Phil, Theda and sister Judy), having just moved from their former residence in Bloatsburg, to the new town of Bluffington. There he meets Skeeter, Patti, Roger and Beebe, and his new life in a new town begins! Doug writes in his journal and sometimes even imagines himself as a superhero named Quailman to help him out with difficult situations and decisions.

''

In 1994 after 52 episodes, Doug was cancelled by Nickelodeon. In February 1996, Disney Enterprises bought Jumbo Pictures, Inc. and ordered new episodes of "Doug" to be produced (re-named "Brand Spanking New! Doug" and then later "Disney's Doug").

''

Disney aired the series as part of ABC's Saturday Morning lineup in the fall of 1996 (following Disney's purchasing of the network), and the show became part of Disney's One Saturday Morning block in the fall of 1997. These episodes aired on ABC's SATURDAY MORNING block (later renamed Disney One Saturday Morning) from September 7, 1996 to September 9, 2000.

''

In 1999, after 3 seasons, 65 additional episodes and a feature-length movie, "Disney's Doug" went out of production. Doug spawned merchandise such as clothes, toys and a number of books. During the course of the show, Doug was nominated for 4 Daytime Emmy Awards.

    I got your attention! If you hate this you have no childhood. A child named Doug goes through many problems like bullying, rumors, and other school related stuff. Do I need to say more? Excuse me as I cry happily. WAHHHH 10/10

    This show is very funny. I wish that it still came on, but it doesn't. I really loved watching Doug. I liked his family, friends, neighbors, everybody. I remember this show use to come on SNICK. This show was definitely one of my favorite shows. Nickelodeon should show Doug along with other old Nickelodeon shows. I thought that his friend Patty Mayonnaise name was funny as well as his middle name Yancy and also his dog Porkchop. Doug was just a normal, average, funny kid. He really wasn't that popular, but most people liked him. I miss this show. 8-Pmoreless

  • Kind of boring.

    I do not like this show all to well. It isn't bad, it's just not at all interesting in terms of comedy and entertainment. The reason I didn't rate it lower was because I can recall one or two episodes that were decent. The rest just bored me completely. I have to say that the characters were kind of bland and uninteresting. The comedy was also very boring and predictable. One thing I will say that the show did well was plots. They were somewhat unique and out of the normal plots that were seen in other cartoon shows. Overall, it was just not my kind of show. Thank you.moreless

    This show just bores me. The characters stink and I hate the plot.

    Graphics- F( It looks like it was drawn by a five yr. old! The reception is really crappy. It looks like somebody smeared the animation. The characters' skin colors are ugly.)

    Well I've never really watched it but I can tell by looking at it. Old Nick cartoons bother me and I don't know why. Maybe because the drawings stink and the comedy is not up to date. Well let me just remind you:When you're surfing the channels and you see Doug, don't stop to that point. Period. =(moreless

    Well, doug is much like hey arnold because look at the characters:
    Doug - arnold
    Roger - Like helga except she's not as aggressive
    Skeeter - The marge simpson haired guy
    Patty - Helga except she's more like roger
    This is more truer classic than hey arnold, but hey arnold is still good though. It's a classic too.
    My rating: 10 :)
