???

It was just a boomer reflecting on his life in small town America. What's the fuckin' problem? I think you'd have to be deranged to have a genuinely negative opinion about this show.

For me it's the episode where Mr. Dink tells Doug he needs his help satisfying his wife and he learns they're a cuckold couple.
>Ha-HA! The thinking man's fetish, Douglas! Very high brow, my boy!

I'm actually old enough to remember watching Doug and I don't think I've heard or read anyone say that, ever, before you. In 30 years. Are you okay anon?
>>
>>221364009
I grew up watching Doug too and liked it. Other kids definitely said fuck Doug and thought it was a boring show and Doug was a weak pussy.

Everything people hate about Doug, Hey Arnold did as well, but people aren't for that conversation.
>>
>>221364154
Hey Arnold had that ever-present badass urban vibe and his room was what every kid wished theirs was..that's almost a unfair comparison.
>>
>>221363737
My favorite episode is the one where Porkchop becomes a pimp and Doug has to find homes for the puppies that look like Skeeter one of the bitches gives birth to.
>>
>>221363437
Yeah Im confused by all the hate. I thought the show was fine and relatable. I didnt find it any different than hey arnold.
>>
>>221364167
It wasn't cool. As a kid who liked Doug when it was airing I remember other kids hating Doug because it was boring and Doug himself was a loser.
>>
>>221364167
Nah, Hey Arnold was better.
>>
>>221363437
The show is extremely boring, but not terrible or anything. Admittedly, I never saw the Disney episodes.

Nobody cared about Doug.
Doug didn't ruin anyone's childhood, he ruined their Saturday morning cartoon line-up. You had shows like Recess, Pepper Ann, Lloyd in Space, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, The Weekenders, and later on Lizzie McGuire. Other channels had X-Men, Transformers: Beast Wars, Power Rangers, Batman, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Batman Beyond; even classics like The Bugs Bunny/Sylvester and Tweety show popped up from time to time.

What did Doug ever bring to the table? Animation wise, most of of those other shows blow it out of the water. Doug ended up being the least interesting and memorable character in his own cartoon. He's an imaginative and creative kid, sure, but the best he can come up with i a self-instrt superhero named Quailman which is just his usual outfit with his underwear inside out? The whole show is him simping over the towns 5/10; if kids wanted that, they should have waited until primetime for Frasier to come on and watch Niles do it better. And long after you have grown up and these stupid Doug threads start popping up on /tv/ long after it had faded from memory and you read about how the character is a paint-by-number recreation of the creator and he simped for some bitch named Patti for decades before she finally wnet on adate with im and introduced him to her husband. ALl of a sudden the dismisall and disdain you had for the cartoon and character in childhood comes flooding back and you feel the same anger and annoyance you did when his annoying themesong came on the TV and you compound that by how much you despize the pussy the creator of the show is and it just makes you hate him all over again.
Seriously; these threads suck as much ass as the cartoon did.
Fuck Doug and the whole Dougieevrse.

What do I remember most about Doug? The Halloween episode. It was pretty good, but Nickelodeon absolutely refused to play it outside of October despite being know at the time for rerunning the shit out of their shows. I always thought that was odd. I'm pretty sure that the extremely depressing Christmas episode wasn't in the regular rotation either.
>>
>>221363437
It was mostly boring shit I left on as background noise while I played on the computer.

>>221364641

That show never existed, Anon.
>>
>>221364641
Also as mentioned >>221364575
I can't even remember Doug's cast of characters compared to Hey Arnold's which I do.
>>
>>221364167
It was extremely dull. It tried to be more grown up in the way it presented itself but that just made it boring; like it was on the fence between being fun/childish and thematic/thoughtful so it ended up the worst of both. The plots were like the weakest b-stories of some 90s family friendly sitcom like the one where Doug trains himself to eat liver and onions because he's having dinner at Patti's and is worried about not liking it.

Just a really boring dull show.
>>
"the nostalgia critic" hates doug because they share a same first name, and he said he was ridiculed for it.
his fans/shills fabricated the anti doug sentiment, which hit this board several years ago and took on a life of its own. it's not unlike how rlm shills/fans created the ' prequels were shit ' narrative that retards fell for and continue to propagate. that's pretty much all there is to it

Doug is a lame show. I thought it was lame when I was a kid, too.

Not the worst show in the world. Not offensively bad or anything. Just lame.
>>
>>221363437
The only show I liked less than Doug at the time on Nick was Rugrats. I know Rugrats was very popular, but it felt like a show moms liked more than any kid I knew. Every time some mom would be like "ooooh, Rugrats, I love that show." To me, it was just babies aimlessly wandering around while mispronouncing words and not much more.

i'm not seething at all, people resorting to a deliberate mischaracterization like that usually implies that the facts don't side with them. that and insecurity is where name calling and otherizing type stuff comes from.
i just know when something is fake, that's all.

You're angry about a bunch of ecelebs because they got lots of views making fun of media you like years and years ago. That's evidence you're a cringe faggot which itself is evidence Doug and the Star Wars prequels are for cringe faggots.

Pepper Ann was better even when I was watching as a boy. Doug was whiny, Pepper Ann was funny.

Girl Doug, Dog Doug, and Alien Doug were all better than Doug.

He's a wishy-washy soft nice guy, and because this type of man makes pussies immediately dry up, modern women have thoroughly demonized these type of men, and since we live in a gynocentric society, men have followed suit (even guys who are like Doug, because they're in denial and/or don't want to run the risk of women thinking they're one of "those" guys)

>>221365647
>who is actually seething
You. You're mad a couple ecelebs got views making fun of media you like years after the fact.
>desperate
Again, you. You're mad people make you feel silly for liking corny man-child movies about space wizards and a cartoon about being mid.
>lies never win
According to you the ecelebs lied about the media you like sucking and that's the only reason people dislike it. By your own cope you're wrong once again, lol.

Rugrats was the first time I felt a show was "jewish", even though I didn't have a word for it yet.

Biggest difference is that being a anxious simp wasn't Arnold's defining character.
Sure there was Ruth and Leela, but the obsessive simp role was ultimately taken by Helga.
And Arnold was a lot more proactive than passive. Arnold was a leader in ways that Doug wasn't.

well, when things are only about winning to someone, the truth takes a backseat to their primary motivation, which is to be right or to "win" by any means necessary.
this hinders growth at a profoundly deep level and can manifest into some truly ugly traits. i would sincerely suggest you not waste time being this way, since little can be learned from this sort of behavior, it's only a poison for your soul. but do whatever you like

I don't disagree with the spirit of your first sentence. But the mechanics, and the rest of the content that follows, confirm a supremely faggoty disposition that you will continually be mocked for on 4chan until you fix it.

i've been here a long time and while it can be rough at times, the overly meanspirited nature of this website has always been overstated, and it's actually the newfags trying to fit in that out themselves as tourists by pretending to be as vile as the 4chan stories they're told about on reddit. idc anyway i post sporadically. thanks anyway later 4real
