I will say that 90s cartoons are on a whole an order of magnitude better than 80s cartoons- you could erase that entire decade of animation and nothing of value would be lost. I never watched Teddy Ruxpin or The Raccoons so don't give me poo poo.

That’s because Regan got rid of the regulation that said you couldn’t directly advertise to kids so everything became flimsy excuse to sell toys. Who gives a poo poo about the plot? Just come up with an interesting hook and a marketable design and go nuts.

Yea Doug pretty much sucks, the OP mostly got it.

Hey Arnold is a pretty decent show that feels like the writers knew how to identify with kids and occasionally touched on some hard topics fairly well: prejudice, poverty, abuse, etc. I still remember a couple of episodes.

stoop kid left his stoop!

Hey Arnold! was a fun show. I can't remember a ton of things about it, but I do remember there being plenty of down to earth episodes that had good morals for kids.

i watched a lot of doug but can't recall much about it at all. he ate bananas with pizza sauce once I guess. it was definitely a filler show between angry beavers, hey arnold, rocko, ren and stumpy, etc. very low tier, probably even worse than catdog

I remember the banana pizza episode. Made me want to actually try it myself because my child brain could be tricked into eating sand if you made it look pretty enough on TV

The only other episode I remember clearly is the one where Porkchop bites a girl's leg to stop her from skating on thin ice, and then her rich family sues the Funnies and nearly gets Porkchop put to sleep. Which is kinda hosed up considering the stakes in most other episodes are just "I can't find a nematode" or "I hate liver and onions"

ReBoot was cool. I loved the plot driven season 3. I guess season 4 was kind of a "Futurama" style revival problem in that they made some direct to home video movies then cut them up for TV. The less said about the reboot of ReBoot the better.

:stare: Christ, he looks like a 1970s serial killer, with his "smile" that doesn't reach his beady eyes and his doofus haircut and sweater vest and that pose that looks like he's lecturing on why you deserve what he's about to do.

The only way to get huge fast is to insult a passing witch and hope she curses you with Beast-strength.


Doug had an anxiety attack about the thought of going outside soemwhete that he might see his crush. These days he’d be prescribed a gallon of prescriptions from age 8.

Does Doug grow up to be a super underemployed incel angrily posting from a basement, or a perpetual stoner grad student who’s in his tenth year of a comparative religion PhD?

Underneath he has a velvet, yummy tummy you wish you could just stroke and squish all day! Ahh! But on top... On top it's a whole different story... On top he is a scary stiff stabber!
Wait here, you remember little about Doug and you're here to napalm it to the ground yet you remember Duckman as being "tight"? I was having nostalgia about Duckman until I decided to do an LP of the adventure game last year and it's the only time that I felt like pulling out of an LP because it's humour just felt embarrassing.

You don't even seem to have made an effort to rewatch it again to form your own opinions, you've just compiled this post from other people's thoughts and reviews. "I have to watch them again..." perhaps you should have watched them again before posting this so you could have formed your own thoughts instead of saying, "Their views say this show is poo poo so you should too!". You have a lot of memories about not watching Doug which are very vague on the bad times that you did watch Doug.

This post is a Bad post - possibly the worst.

I've often thought about rewatching Doug, the dynamic changes and inconsistency have always thrown me off and made things much harder to digest it.

I worked/work at Nickelodeon (freelance now). They had big art installations of their characters- Of course SpongeBob, Ren & Stimpy, Avatar, the big stuff. But also the more left-to-the-past stuff- Ahh! Real Monsters, CatDog, Rocket Power, crap like that. There's a pretty cool eviscerated SpongeBob painting in the new building's lobby.

I never saw a Doug anything.

The most unrealistic Doug episodes were the ones where he would get super cocky for some reason and start telling people he was really good at something—his friends all believed him for some reason; in reality they all would have just said “you’re full of poo poo Doug, we know you’ve never ridden a horse before”

I assume because they ended up selling Doug off to Disney. Who then retooled it to make it more "wacky."

Definitely the former. Doug's neuroses would only get worse as he gets older, he'd hit college like a brick wall and maybe come out with an associates degree in general studies if he's lucky.

At best he'd end up becoming the Harvey Pekar of Bluffington. At worst he'd develop an opiate addiction.
