And I think they succeeded in that goal. Some of the most memorable things about Doug are the little riffs that would accompany each character, the theme song, and the music of The Beets a play off the Beatles. Disney obviously missed the memo. The first thing they did was change the awesome original theme song, composed by Fred Newman Okay, maybe that's not the worst thing in the world. But this is: Disney ended the popular band The Beets. You could totally argue that A.
And maybe it was. But for an OG Doug fan like me, it was a total misstep just like their decision to close the burger joint The Honker Burger. Nickelodeon is responsible for that shit, not Disney. They ruined the characters. One of the best things about Doug was that every character on the show was fully developed.
Patti Mayonnaise wasn't just the girl he was crushing on — she was a tomboy, the daughter of a single parent, and living with a father who had a disability. All these things made Patti more interesting than just generic, cute girl next door. And you could say the same for every character on the original show.
But when Doug moved to Disney, the new network decided that almost every character needed some kind of change. One of the most glaring examples: Connie Benge was a fun secondary character on the Nickelodeon show who hung out with Patti and Beebe. She was also fantastic because she didn't have the same body as every other cartoon girl on the show. Connie wasn't skinny; she had curves. They never made her body central to her storyline, but it was still part of who she was. When the show went to Disney, Connie became noticeably thinner.
Okay, so that last one isn't a character shift as much as an adventure in beauty. Good for you, Patti, trying new hairstyles. But meh on everything else. They ruined the formula. One of the most genius things about Nickelodeon's old cartoons is that each minute episode actually had two different stories. This show is about a kid named Doug Funnie who moves with his family to the town of Bluffington from his old town of Bloatsburg.
Doug immediately feels uncomfortable in this new town, that is until he meets Skeeter Valentine and two become best of friends. The show follows a lot of Doug's experiences as he adjusts to living in Bluffington. Doug meets a lot interesting people, gets hassled by Roger Klotz and even falls in love with Patty Mayonnaise. As I said before, this show and,"Hey! Arnold" are the two remaining decent shows on Nickelodeon. Idiotic crap like The Wild Thornberry's, Spongebob Squarepants, and Rocket Power, are without a doubt, taking over what was once, one of the best children's television stations on cable.
