Doug

Since drgon78 is posting topics on old cartoon shows, I thought I'd bring up one. Doug. I wouldn't say it's on my top 5 Nicktoons but I have been rewatching the show recently thanks to reruns and I think it's held up pretty well. Some say it's boring but others say it's pretty chill. Doug's alter egos kinda helped make the more memorable moments like Quailman, Smash Adams, Race Canyon, The Chameleon, and Durango Doug.

Fred Newman was the vocalist and sound effects maker for the music and that man's pretty talented. The music was pretty catchy and helped made the show a bit cool.

Around 1996, Jumbo Pictures took the property to Disney and ABC and revived the show. The theme song was catchy but the series itself really lost it's uniqueness to me. What's funny is that when I watched the Disney run at the time, it was called "Brand Spanking New Doug". By the time they changed it to "Disney's Doug" is when I stopped watching it. Nickelodeon still owns the rights to the original series and still airs it on channels like NickRewind and it's currently on Paramount+ while Disney has the rights to their run, Doug's 1st (and only) Movie, and the IP rights. Jim Jinkins, the creator, said in an interview that Disney has no future plans for Doug. In my opinion, him or Paramount/Nickelodeon should buy the series back, if they can.
