you so get that now that Doug is going to hunt you down, torture you with no end, and kill you. yeah, change your address, move to texas, (or colorado, depending on if angry joe is going to let you stick around for a few decades.) get a new name, and buy lots of guns and ammo. you will need them.

I dunno, I actually really liked Doug as a kid even if it wasn't too over the top funny and had simple stories. I liked Hey Arnold too but I think I preferred Doug. I guess it was cause I thought Arnold was a bland main character. Helga was a pretty cool character, she makes Doug's Patti adoration look like a mild attraction by comparison.

CR! Where have you been, man? I missed you're unique brand of humor. I've noticed the jokes seemed a little riskier in this episode for some reason, but I still found it hilarious and very entertaining as usual. Your one of the funniest contributors on this site, and FF is one of my favorite series. I honestly just wish it was posted more regularly.
BTW, loved the Yugioh Abridged reference, it totally made my day.

Hey CR nice FF, if I had to do a little constructive critisism don't use so many refrences. You keep my attention already because you annalize the character so closly and make them easy to learn about. The refrences just threw me off.
P.S. Was that Skeeter subplot where the idea for the movie came from? :huh:
-
06.08.2010 - 22:47 | Coolclaytonyok turns out i over reacted. you've only been gone a month. much longer than i had originaly to be. but it just feels like forever man. I like how you can find characters in media who where over looked by their shows writers and rarley got any decent attention when it would probobly raise their ratings more to have characters, like connie for example become a much more prominant element in the series. Thats why i dream of remaking all those under appreciated shows (or in dougs case carry on where it left off) and go in a direction with them that the writers where to stupid or to stubborn to take.

06.08.2010 - 23:00 | Coolclaytonyi personally feel that even though disney gave Connie much more attention. even changing her style and apparently emphasizing on her crush on Doug a little more. they still wrongfully ignored her. I mean they had rights to it at that point. there was nothing stopping them from encouraging the writers to make her a vital character. Hell, i feel they could have squeezed several more seasons out of the show just by doing that. That is how much i think Connie was underappreciated. My older cousins who got bored with the show after disney bought it would have protested the shows cancelation if disney had made the new sexier, rockstar-ier,and entergetic Connie a main character.

I'm glad to see more of your Show ^_^ I've always enjoyed taking a journey though my past and seeing these forgotten / over looked characters
I'm also a big fan of your animation and title cards for other critics shows / comics.
I was wondering though would you happen to know how much progress you've made with your Quest 64 Lets Play? I've really gotten attached to part 1 and cannot wait to see more.
Take care

Just to emphasize on how much i would have liked it if Connie was a main character i will truthfully tell you that i would have stabbed myself in the leg if it would convince disney to put connie in a much brighter spotlight.

Disney's Doug definitely was more progressive and I must say the idea of Connie as a main character would be awesome. If they made her new musical talent better (like having better written songs) it would have been a pretty damn awesome story to see her get a big role. She's more interesting than Patti I thought.

Disney Connie sucks. I miss her "big fat ass."
...YES that's the only reason! She was practically an extra. What else did she have going for her? I'll bet there's Rule 34 of her and it's all about her booty. *checks*...Okay, "Doug"...
A picture of a girl dressed as Quailman...Weird.
Uh, Doug with Pepper Ann, that's...oddly fitting.
Bunch of pictures of Patty. Duh.
Bunch of Doug/Skeeter, Doug/Roger. Of course.
Some weird gross stuff solely for the sake of being weird and gross...Ew.
DAMN! Only one picture of Connie, and it's the Disney one. That's bogus! I've creeped out everyone who reads this for NOTHING!

When I heard you on Transmisson Awesome hinting at who this episode was going to be on I was positive it was going to be Mrs. Dink. You mentioned it was going to be on the female that changed the most and I thought of frumpy housewife turned mayor. But then again it's been a long ass time since I've seen this show and you tend to single out the near forgotten characters. The fact that I had forgotten about Connie just adds more to that theme.
Still, loved this show as a kid and was very happy to watch this regaurdless of how stupid I feel. :confused:
-
I only watched this show for Mr. Dink. Even at 8 years old I thought Doug (the character) exaggerated too much. I came to this realization as I was using my father's 1970s monster stereo as a hybrid Ghostbusters Containment Unit/Apollo Command Module... You know... for ghosts in space... People die in space, I've read it in stories.

Great review you've done here. This is definitely one of my personal favorite shows of the original Nicktoons while growing up.
For some reason, I just couldn't get into the Disney version of Doug, tried as I might...guess with the change of hands, the growing up and all, it was probably a "bit much" for me to take in at once.
But yeah, with you mentioning about Connie for this episode, I knew you were going to do this sometime after seeing your fan pics you've done on DA.
With the way you focused on how she changed and grew up from one version to the next, that was pretty cool.
Definitely want to see more of what else you can do for FF. :)
