So this was the first Nickelodeon animated show they produced. And by the way this is for the 52 episode-run, not the Disney run. Anyway, it's about a boy named Doug going on realistic situations. As you can see, it is a slice of life show. Honestly, to tell you the truth, Doug Funnie isn't really the most relatable character ever, but there's a few times I did. Just not as much as Arnold Shortman. Animation wise, it's very sloppy in the beginning. But it got better as it went on. The writing can vary depending on the episode, but like animation, it got off to a very slow start. Characters aren't that memorable aside from Doug, Porkchop, Skeeter, roger, and a few others. Music is done in an unique way in that Fred Newman provided it and also does the sound. Voice acting can be wooden to most people and I don't really know who most of them are. That said, Newman and Billy West steal the show, performance wise. All in all, not the best way to start off the Nicktoon brand, but it's no near the worst 90s Nicktoon either.

Eh.... I say this was the bad start of the nerd protagonist, I mean, all this is , is a kid in high school. Nothing much. It would be YEARS before they got the nerd protagonist right, I mean, take a look at Friendship is Magic, and Diary of a Wimpy kid! They get it right! Here, they just made an average life. Friendship is Magic and Diary of wimpy kid made the nerds funny and likable, Doug is just life! I don't want to watch life, I want to LIVE it! Nothing much to say, it's just bland, uninteresting and, as Rainbow Dash, said, NOT COOL! I know some of you are fans of this show, And I don't hate for doing so. But, we have our opinions, and I say, it's bland. P.S. WHY DOES THE TOP TV SHOWS SAYS THAT THIS IS BETTER THAN FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC?!?!?!?

Doug was great: Good lessons without being preachy, subtle pokes at pop culture, and likable, all-too realistic characters (what school didn't have an overachieving Chalky Studebaker type, or a pair of nerdy Sleech brothers? My school sure did!). I don't think there's any age group or demographic who can't sit and watch and enjoy Doug over and over. From Doug's daydreaming about being Quailman or Smash Adams to solve his dilemmas, to trying to find ways to woo Patti Mayonnaise, I think everyone one of us can relate to excitement of the average world seen through the eyes of an 11 year old.My only complaints about Doug: I wish the episodes were longer and that there had been more seasons. That's it though.

This was an abysmal show. In short it was about this kid called Doug who guilt-tripped a lot. Seriously he could feel guilty over killing a fly then feeling guilty over feeling guilty for killing the fly and so forth. The animation was grating and unpleasant and the jokes cheap. It aired here in Sweden as a part of the "Disney time" show and i remember liking it some what but then i turned 13.I never got why some of the characters were green and purple too. What was up with that? Truly a horrible show. Appareantly it spawned a movie which i've never seen but i don't have any great expectations for that one either.
