Doug was an American animated sitcom created by Jim Jinkins and co-produced
by his studio, Jumbo Pictures (now known as Cartoon Pizza). Doug centers on the surreal and imaginative exploits of its title character, Douglas “Doug” Funnie, who experiences common predicaments while attending school in his new hometown of Bluffington, Virginia. The series lampoons several topics, including puppy love, bullying, and rumors. Numerous episodes center around Doug’s attempts to date his classmate Patti Mayonnaise.
Doug originally aired on Nickelodeon in the United States. It, along with Rugrats and The Ren & Stimpy Show, comprised the original three Nicktoons, premiering simultaneously on August 11, 1991 and ending on January 2, 1994. Following the acquisition of the former Jumbo Pictures by Disney in 1996, the series aired on ABC as part of the former Disney’s One Saturday Morning programming block. The second series premiered on September 7, 1996, and ended in 1999 while having a feature film adaption. In 2011, the Nickelodeon series became syndicated on TeenNick’s then newly-debuted The ’90s Are All That block.

Doug on Nickleoeon was great!! It was funny and well written. But the move to ABC ruined it. All the characters had a complete personality change! Roger isnt even a bully anymore, Patty’s her hair is all different and Skeeter has became smart now. Everythings changed for the worse. The voices sound all weird and nervous. Way to fuck things up Disney. Disney ruins everything it touches.

Disney fucking ruined Doug. Annihilated might even be a more correct term for what they did to a classic cartoon. I remember when they changed the animation, voices, personalities and a whole slew of other shit about Doug, i was pissed.

I think Doug jumped the shark when Disney’s Doug was created. Disney’s Doug was just too different from the original Doug and the show wasn’t as funny as the original Doug.
