Doug is an animated television serial created by Jim Jinkins and produced by Jumbo Pictures. The show focuses on the early on boyish life of its title character, Douglas "Doug" Funnie, who experiences common predicaments while attending school in his new hometown of Bluffington. Doug narrates each story in his periodical, and the testify incorporates many imagination sequences. The serial addresses numerous topics, including trying to fit in, ideal and romantic relationships, cocky-esteem, bullying, and rumors. Many episodes center on Doug's attempts to impress his classmate and crush, Patti Mayonnaise.

Jinkins adult Doug from drawings in his sketchbook that he created over the class of the 1980s. Doug, a mostly autobiographical creation, was largely inspired by Jinkins's childhood growing up in Virginia, with well-nigh characters in the series being based on real individuals. He first pitched Doug as a children's book to uninterested publishers before Nickelodeon purchased the testify. Post-obit this, the series underwent farther development, in which Jinkins meticulously detailed every aspect of the evidence's setting. Jinkins was insistent that the series would have a purpose and instructed writers to annotate each script with a moral. The bear witness's unusual soundtrack consists largely of scat singing and mouth noises.

The series premiered on Baronial 11, 1991, on the cable network Nickelodeon, as the channel's outset Nicktoon alongside other original animated series Rugrats (which premiered directly later Doug) and The Ren & Stimpy Show (which premiered after Rugrats). The original run consisted of 52 episodes over iv seasons that were broadcast from 1991 to 1994. Nickelodeon opted against renewing the testify for a fifth season,^[2] so in 1996, Disney dark-green-lit the fifth season after acquiring Jumbo Pictures. Jinkins made several creative changes during this time. The show moved to ABC'south One Sat Morning for three years, likewise taking 2 championship changes to differentiate the new episodes from the Nickelodeon seasons. It became a summit-rated prove, inspiring diverse books, merchandise, a live musical stage show, and a theatrical feature, Doug's 1st Movie, released as the series' conclusion in 1999.

Premise [edit]

The series revolves effectually Douglas "Doug" Funnie, an xi (later 12)-year-erstwhile boy who wants to be another face in the crowd, but by possessing a vivid imagination and a strong sense of correct and incorrect, he is more probable to stand out.^[3] He keeps a periodical, which he treats equally an autobiography, as he records numerous experiences over the series, which range from learning to trip the light fantastic toe to getting a bad haircut.^[4] Doug Funnie and his family (which consists of his parents Theda and Phil, sister Judy, and dog Porkchop) movement from the town of Bloatsburg to Bluffington after his dad receives a job promotion.

Episodes [edit]

Characters [edit]

Beyond the title grapheme, Doug features a large ensemble bandage of characters. Many of the serial' ancillary characters, amidst them Ms. Wingo and Mr. Spitz, are based on authority figures from Jinkins' childhood.^{[half dozen]}

He has talents for writing, cartoon, making music (he plays a banjo), and caring for animals (he owns a dog named Porkchop). While Doug just wants to fit in with his peers, he has a vivid imagination and an unparalleled sense of morality that both brand him stand out amongst them. Doug narrates every episode and writes his experiences in his journal. He has an alter ego, Quailman, who was inspired by Jinkins's and Roberts's childhood dwelling movies in which they posed equally superheroes.^[six] Billy W, the original voice backside Doug, was assigned by executive Vanessa Coffey, to Jinkins's initial reluctance, only Jinkins would eventually come up to view it equally the best possible vox for the grapheme. Westward, in recording lines for Doug, noted that "In that location's a lot of me in there, because I'm going through my own experiences in at that place, considering I take a conscience."^[vii]
• Porkchop (voiced by Fred Newman): Doug's anthropomorphic pet canis familiaris that is one of Doug'south sidekicks and accompanies him about everywhere he goes. He sometimes assists Doug in making decisions and acts as his conscience. Pork chop is very talented in many things such as acting. He lives in an igloo-shaped doghouse in the Nickelodeon series, and a tipi in the Disney series. During a Christmas special, it is shown that Doug got Porkchop as a Christmas gift and that Porkchop once saved Beebe Bluff'southward life when she was most to fall through some thin ice. Porkchop, along with Doug, originally first appeared in ID spots for the Usa Network children's block, USA Cartoon Express.

The character was based on Jinkins' high schoolhouse best friend, Tommy Roberts.^{[6] [8]}
• Patricia "Patti" Mayonnaise (voiced by Constance Shulman): Patti is an intelligent, lovely, talented, and athletic girl who is Doug's female person all-time friend and love involvement. She is kind and helpful, only she does take weaknesses, such as a tendency to be competitive, being gullible, and to anger easily if pushed likewise far. Jinkins based the character on his adolescent beat from junior high and high school,^[six] and culled her name from two girls from his babyhood, Pam Mayo and a daughter named Patty.^[9]
• Roger K. Klotz (voiced by Billy W in the Nickelodeon series, Chris Phillips in the Disney serial): Roger is Doug's nemesis, and a school slap-up. He is not much of a nifty, however, as he usually makes fun of anybody and plays practical jokes. He is older than others in his grade, equally information technology took him three years to graduate from sixth grade. Roger has a crush on Doug's sister Judy and in certain episodes tries to woo her. Roger and his divorced mother lived in a trailer park in the Nickelodeon series; in the Disney serial, Roger'due south family unit becomes wealthy from a existent-manor deal struck between the owner of the trailer park and the Bluff family. Roger was inspired from a cracking who lived in the aforementioned neighborhood as Jinkins. He adopted the bully'southward neighbors' last proper name, Klotz, for the graphic symbol.^[6]
• Beebe Bluff (voiced by Alice Playten): The heiress to the Bluff family fortune. Beebe is the daughter of Bill Bluff, the richest man in the town and a friend of Mayor White. The Barefaced family is the namesake of the town of Bluffington, and in the second series, the school is even named after Beebe. Despite a certain air of superiority over her peers, Beebe maintains friendships with Patti Mayonnaise and most of her other contemporaries. Doug had his first osculation with her in the episode "Doug'south Hole-and-corner Admirer", although it was out of gratitude rather than dearest, since she already has a crush on Skeeter. Beebe was Alice Playten'due south final blithe role before her death in 2011.
• Judith "Judy" Anastasia Funnie (voiced past Becca Lish): Judy Funnie is Doug's older sis. Judy is very intelligent and particularly dramatic. Unsurprisingly, she attends the Moody Schoolhouse, a school for artistically talented teenagers. Judy often gives or directs performances at Bluffington Simple, which Doug initially dreads out of fear that Judy volition embarrass him (as she has done in the past). Judy is usually seen wearing just imperial and black, and rarely takes off her beret or her sunglasses.

• Connie Benge (voiced by Becca Lish): A naive schoolgirl who is best friends with Patti and Beebe, and also i of Doug's friends. She had a pocket-size crush on Doug in the Nickelodeon series. Although she was rather heavy-set in the first series, she lost weight between the 2 series and received a new wardrobe and hairstyle subsequently visiting a beauty farm, making her look quite different in either show. In certain episodes of the first series, the color schemes for Connie's hair and skin are switched, giving her lime green hair and violet skin instead of indigo pilus and stake green skin.
• Al and Moo Sleech (voiced by Eddie Korbich): Nerdy twin brothers and two of Doug'due south all-time friends. Doug looks to them for technical help whenever he needs information technology.

They are each shown to have a trounce on Judy. The ii try to hide the fact that their father is non as intelligent every bit they are and is a hardworking doughnut baker.
• Mr. Bud Dink (voiced by Fred Newman): A slightly odd, regal-skinned, dimwitted, retiree who lives next door to the Funnies with his wife and foil, Tippy (voiced by Doris Belack).

In afterwards Nickelodeon episodes, Mrs. Dink becomes mayor of Bluffington, a office she continues in the Disney version.

Production [edit]

Evolution [edit]

Doug was created by animator Jim Jinkins.^[10] He was built-in in Richmond, Virginia in 1953, and grew upwards fascinated past drawing. He went on to blitheness and filmmaking at Ohio Country University, and upon graduation, got a job working at PBS in their children'southward programming unit. Jinkins get-go sketched the character of Doug while doodling without thought, not aiming to create a character based on himself.^[8] In the 1980s, he began working on an autobiographical character named "Brian", which he later changed to "Doug", as information technology was a very general, mutual proper name. He began to view the character as his "change-ego", cartoon him in variously cynical and silly scenarios in his sketchbook.^[6]

In 1984, Jinkins's career took a turn for the worse, every bit well as his personal life: he had a rough breakup and suffered injuries in a biking accident.^[11] During this fourth dimension, he gained a new outlook on life.^[nine] Desiring to "create a place where there was no overdue hire and no delinquent telephone bills," he began doodling and formed the basis for Bluffington, the cardinal location in Doug. The character'due south early designs were solidified aslope friend David Campbell at a small Mexican restaurant in New York. He later credited the character's odd coloring choices from being in a "margarita daze".^[ix] Campbell suggested he make Doug into a children's book, titled Doug Got a New Pair of Shoes, which was rejected by all of the city'southward publishing houses.^[11] Simon & Schuster was interested, but direction changed before it purchased the pitch.^[7] The character fabricated its offset animated appearance in a 1988 Florida Grapefruit Growers commercial,^[viii] and it was also used for a 1989 promotional bumper for the United states of america Network.^[6]

Meanwhile, cablevision network Nickelodeon, aiming to expand its content and observe creative auteurs, began a search for animators to develop their first original blithe series. This was very unusual for the time period, which often consisted of pre-licensed characters, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Where'southward Waldo?. Jinkins had actually worked at the network before it was renamed Nickelodeon; he was employed in the late 1970s, on their first prove Pinwheel. ^[8] Jinkins set up up a meeting with executive Vanessa Coffey to show her the book prototype.^[11] Coffey ran out of the room ("which is, you know, disturbing," Jinkins would call up), but only to inform her boss that "This [Jinkins] guy is the real deal, and we're taking him to airplane pilot."^[7] Employing voice artists and writers from New York, Jinkins created a pilot for Doug, titled Doug Can't Trip the light fantastic toe.^[7] Information technology was i of three vi-minute pilots called out of viii to premiere every bit Nickelodeon's debut blithe series, or Nicktoons.^[iv] The long contract development took nearly a year to complete. Jinkins fabricated sure that his contract allowed him to accept the series to some other network if Nickelodeon did not consummate the evidence's society.^[12]

In another unusual move, Nickelodeon immune their purchased pilots to be animated at independent studios. Jinkins founded Colossal Pictures to produce Doug. He would after recall the oddity of the deal, remarking, "that was a moment in time where nosotros were able to be an independent production company and evangelize those shows."^[8] Coffey was the main executive in accuse of the series' production, and Jinkins would after requite her credit in bringing the show to air.^[8]

Writing and pattern [edit]

Jinkins characterized the serial as non entirely autobiographical, but emotionally accurate to his babyhood experiences.^[11] The testify was designed and based on his experiences growing up in Virginia, designing it every bit such to give the viewers "a roller coaster of emotions."^[3] Each character in the series was based on people from Jinkins' life, with some exaggerations. Prior to the show's premiere, Jinkins sent messages to each bailiwick of inspiration, notifying them of their inclusion.^[viii] Jinkins' religious upbringing also fabricated its style into the series, albeit without straight reference.^[12] For example, if an episode is attack Sunday, Doug'south family is dressed in their church clothes. Jinkins felt information technology was of import to non insert overly religious themes into the series, merely he viewed information technology essential that each episode incorporate a moral.^[12] The serial was also inspired by Peanuts.^[8]

The show'due south design was labor-intensive, intended to convey a sure logic to the prove's universe. In the show's pitch bible, which Jinkins described as "huge," comprise floor plans for each main character'due south homes, as well as maps of each street.^[12] In addition, Jinkins and the series' developers paid detail attention to more hidden elements inside the series, such as the founding fathers of the show's fundamental town.^[12] In writing the series, the production schedule was built around spending several weeks writing the series' scripts. Jinkins asked each writer to place a central theme at the height of each script — what result Doug is dealing with, and what he learns.^[8] Jinkins ofttimes told staff that he wanted the show to remain relevant "in thirty years," aiming for a timeless effect. While developing the serial, Jinkins wanted to change its name from Doug to The Funnies, simply the network encouraged him to stick with the original proper name.^[viii] At that place was a "cross-pollination" amid the network's writing staff. This involved story editors existence assigned to the show, amid them Mitchell Kriegman of Clarissa Explains Information technology All and Will McRobb of The Adventures of Pete & Pete. "There was definitely camaraderie and a quirkiness virtually who they were hiring," Jinkins afterward said. "Sometimes information technology didn't piece of work quite so well, only working with McRobb was awesome!"^[12]

In translating the show into animation, the characters' designs were solidified. "Jim Jinkins is an illustrator and non an animator, and then his initial drawings were a little bit more of a wiggly line," said Yvette Kaplan.^[13] The designs were inspired by Jinkins' catamenia working for R. O. Blechman at the Ink Tank, incorporating Blechman'due south nervous line quality.^[13]

Music [edit]

Jinkins was also very involved in the bear witness'southward music. One of the show'due south most notable elements is its unique soundtrack, which consists of various oral fissure sounds by vox actor Fred Newman. "Fred showed me how yous could have out a guitar and use a tuna can filled with water that you'd thump with your finger," said Jinkins.^[half-dozen] In the series' Doug's favorite stone group is the Beets, a play on the Beatles. The band'due south members also visually resemble Ringo Starr of the Beatles and Robert Establish of Led Zeppelin, and their penchant for endless reunion tours owes to the Who. Jinkins viewed the series' music as an accent to the storytelling.^[vi]

Creating the music for the series was a deliberate effort to deviate from the standard for blithe cartoons, which traditionally followed the works of Carl Stalling.^[thirteen] The most complicated slice of music created for the series was for the opening sequence, which was recorded preceding animation, rather than the typical method of composing it afterward. Newman's scat singing plays over transitions in the series. The show also incorporated homemade sound effects.^[13]

In the closing credits for the first season of Nickelodeon's Doug, two different pieces of music would play: the start piece would be taken from the second story in the episode, and during the last third, Porkchop would don headphones and listen to music from the get-go story, immediately drowning out the original background music angering Doug, sweats from his reaction, and runs off to the left with Doug post-obit him. Subsequent seasons, however, use a single piece of music for their closing credits (despite using the same blitheness). Starting with the Disney series, the credits accept used Doug chasing Porkchop to the left and right but for Porkchop to hunt Doug to the left while the credits play.

Disney acquisition [edit]

The official championship bill of fare of Disney's Doug.

The original bargain required Colossal to produce 65 episodes of Doug, which Nickelodeon would air in blocks of xiii per season.^[xi] After four seasons and 52 episodes of Doug, Nickelodeon declined to order the additional 13, citing the evidence's expensive budget during a budget freeze. The network had a two-year window in which it could contrary the conclusion. The duo received strong interest from several networks, amid them ABC. Each time they received interest, they would notify Nickelodeon in order to speed up ordering the series' fifth season.^[eleven] In 1996, The Walt Disney Visitor, having closed on its purchase of ABC before in the twelvemonth, purchased Doug in a multimillion-dollar deal with Jinkins and Campbell. The deal involved ownership Jumbo Pictures and "signing them to five-yr contracts, with stock options, to exist Disney executives." The company too purchased the Doug trademark and its rights to all future merchandising. Nickelodeon was allowed to retain the rights to the episodes produced from 1991 to 1994.^[11]

Due to the length of time between the series' run on Nickelodeon and its beginning on ABC, there were several artistic changes. Production of the series relocated from New York City to Los Angeles. This meant the vocalism actors recorded their lines remotely instead of together in the studio. Billy Westward was replaced by Tom McHugh as the voice of Doug, while the role of Roger was taken over by Chris Phillips. Disney could not afford West, as his fame had grown from voicing characters in Ren & Stimpy and other animated backdrop.^[12] Jinkins argues that he worked hard to proceed West on the series, claiming that the deal the company offered him was breaking their upkeep.^[7] In 2013, despite not returning to the Disney version, West mentioned that he would exist open to returning as the function/character.^[14]

Several original staff members of Doug accept openly regarded the Disney run as inferior to the Nickelodeon run. Jinkins was less hands-on regarding the product of the evidence's Disney episodes due to other responsibilities. "I mostly hold with Doug fans who retrieve the original 104 xi-minute Doug stories made for Nick were the all-time", Jinkins after said. David Campbell felt the Nickelodeon episodes were "quirkier" and better, while Constance Shulman, Patti Mayonnaise'due south phonation actress, felt voice recording sessions were not the same in the show'south newer incarnation: "I missed all the gang crammed in the studio, waiting for their turn for the big grouping scene. Someone simply dimmed the magic a bit."^[thirteen]

Some other factor in Doug going to Disney might have been Nickelodeon's high expectations for the series not being met, something that has been acknowledged by Jinkins as well as Ren & Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi.^[11] Among Nickelodeon'southward three original Nicktoons, executives were banking on Doug to exist the network'south breakout hit. While Doug proved to be popular, it was by far Nickelodeon'due south least pop original Nicktoon, as Ren & Stimpy would (alongside The Simpsons and Beavis and Butt-Caput) assistance revive the adult blitheness genre that had been largely fallow since The Flintstones ended in 1966. Meanwhile, Nickelodeon's other original Nicktoon, Rugrats, would instead exist the network'due south breakout hit and would remain on the air until 2004, long after the other two series ended product.^[11]

Since the conquering, Disney has owned the rights to produce any future material in the Doug franchise. In 2016, Jinkins stated that Disney had "no interest" in revamping the show.^[xv]

Doug and Porkchop announced on a billboard in the Fleck 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers picture show, released in May 2022.^[xvi]

Themes [edit]

The series covers aspects of desiring to exist different while coming of age.^[7] According to Jinkins, honesty is the series' master theme:

We put ourselves through enormous hurting to avoid hurting and I had this notion of: 'What if we didn't do that? What if we just told the truth?" he said. "Only that's complicated. In the adult world, the notion of truth and non-truth is complicated, just I didn't want to debate it. I didn't desire to show all of the ambiguity of the developed globe to kids. I wanted to show kids a world where anybody took honesty seriously."^[seven]

For example, the episode "Doug's in the Coin" finds the titular graphic symbol coming beyond an envelope of cash and returning it to its elderly owner. It created a heated debate among the series' writers regarding honesty. In the episode, Doug is rewarded with a stick of gum. "It comes down to how we call up near who is involved in a story. In that example, I wanted Doug to practice something that injure where there was no tangible advantage," said Jinkins.^[7]

After the series' completion, much of the online contend ensued over the race of Doug's best friend, Skeeter, who some viewers felt exhibited traits stereotypical of African Americans, and who subsequently drew conclusions that the character was intended to be African American. Jinkins did non envision this discourse on the series' colors.^{[ description needed ]} When creating the show, he came across his 200 design markers and employed an assortment of vivid, wild colors for the characters.^[12] Jinkins later on told The Huffington Mail in 2014 that the serial' colors "came to symbolize the irrelevance of race."^[seven]
