Les nouvelles aventures de Doug

When I first heard about a new series of "Doug" I was thrilled since I loved "Old Doug". After I saw the first episode I thought it was really good. It wasn't as good as the NICK series but it was still pretty good. I liked the 12 1/2 year old Doug (he got cuter) and Doug being in middle school. I didn't have a problem with this new series tho many people said it wasn't very good and that Disney destroyed it. I liked the fact that Doug got older and more mature since I and many other viewers also got older and more mature.

My favorite "New Doug" episodes are "Doug's Dream House" and "Doug on the Road". They're both really funny and entertaining.

I wish this series wasn't canceled since I really loved it. But maybe one day they will make a new "Doug" series about him in High School. I give "New Doug" 10/10 stars.

So I never watched Doug growing up despite being a 90's kid. I started to rewatch the classic Nickelodeon Doug as an adult, and it was great. A kids show I can actually enjoy. Moving on to Disney Doug (which growing up, I did not even know existed). I was expecting it to be bad from the reviews but was pleasantly surprised. Sure there are changes but it still feels like Doug. Perhaps Doug a little grown up since he is now in middle (or is it junior high) school. The biggest change to get used to is Doug's new voice which is noticeable, once you accept that it is still a great show. Nice music, no new annoying characters (Fairly odd parents, Rugrats) that ruin the show. The episodes are longer but now there is more likely to teach you a lesson. The first episode actually teaches you to embrace change.

Brand Spanking New Doug is just plain stupid, and i hate it how disney just got their grubby hands on the great Nicktoon Doug, and mangled it into a lousy, horrible excuse of saturday morning television! I mean let's face it: Some of the things that were there on "Doug" (like the honker burger) cease to be on the old show. Roger's rich, i mean what's up with that? He's trailer trash on the original(and more better) show, but then, he's a snob on the disgrace show! Let's face it: Nick should have renewed it WAY befor Disney took it off their hands. And besides, Nick would have made it better! Well, maybe a little better. But way better than what disney whipped up! But the bottom line is that disney proved with this show that you can sink much lower to the brimey deep with a cartoon like this, and that is a fact jack!

This cartoon is a continuation from the fan favorite Doug from the 90s. Only difference is it's produced by Disney and not Nick.

Takes place a year after the events in the first series. Where Doug and his friends enter Junior High. With a load of changes that give Bluffington a total twist. We see some familiar faces along with Doug, as well as some new ones. Not to mention the usual lifestyle, problems, and activities involved in each episode like the in the previous series.

Designed, and animated by the same company: Jumbo. Voiced by the same actors except for Billy West who didn't want to be part of it. Same multi color characters. But it all feels entirely different from the cartoon I knew from the early 90s.

A lot of other fans don't compare this to being equal to the original. Which I agree too, as the Disney Doug contains no charm or brilliants what-so-ever. most of the episodes are good to watch, but like 3/4's of them are very uninteresting, out of character, misleading, poorly written, as well as unoriginal.

You might ask why in the word a great cartoon like Doug could receive a less-worthy sequel. For me it could either be A. There's no Honker Burger(which was bought out in this series under the name of the cheesy French restaurant), B. Doug involved in rather stupid situations than before, C. Adding Dirtbike as the new member of the Funny family rather pointless, or D. Having the whole series under the name of Disney.

Whatever the real reason is, Disney's Doug fails to be a fan favorite for most of the other Doug fans. I'm perfectly fine watching the original countless times as I find that one more appealing than this. If you hate this second series, then stay away from the movie. See my review on that one for more detail.

The lead comment was that this show was a low point for ABC. I didn't see it that way back in September of 1996. We'd lost cable 8 months earlier and I was really missing the Nick version of "Doug". I was more the extatic to find out they were bring the show to a channel I still got. Then I saw the Trailer, and yes the show's plot, theme song, and everything else about it get turned upside-down. I maintain however the basic theme of the show was still the same. Doug still lived in Bluffington and still wrote in his Journal. That's all I needed to know.

This show depends a lot on seeing the Nick series but before long really becomes its own force as we are introduced to life at a Junior High-School that is under-construction. My favorite episode was the one where they were trapped in the school by a blizzard, and one of the kids goes off to find a secret paradise room, hidden in the Principal's Office. I've yet to find other shows that come close to story lines like that. The theme of my life for a long, long time. In fact, to this day, in my ENG classes at TCC I still will write my Narrative Stories in the "Doug" format of normal life adventures gone wrong. It works!
