Doug Funny!!!!!

One of the great cartoons of my youth is back on again yall - DOUG!!! As I was flippin through the channels at 2 today - I passed cartoon network that surprisingly had old Scooby Doo on (made a mental note) but then Nickelodeon was next. Now... I have personally avoided that whole channel since I was like 16? I guess...I was part of the target audience when they started their first package of clumped together cartoons (damn - forgot what they called those 2 hours on saturday mornings). But the block included Doug, Rocko's Modern Life, Ren & Stimpy, Rugrats <-- this was the original, or at least second generation of the programming block, not in that order. Then Ren & Stimpy got too weird for Nick, Rugrats kept repeating episodes, Rocko changed its theme song - so then they brought in the new generation of toons: Ahh! Real Monsters (which I personally refused to watch b/c that was the show that originally replaced Ren & Stimpy), Hey Arnold, and around that time is when either Cartoon Network was created and those new toons just weren't good enough for me. So, like I started out saying - I basically dont watch Nickelodeon anymore - 'cept for the scant Spongebob Squarepants episode, which is actually brilliant.

But to my surprise when I skipped over Scooby and came upon this cartoon that had a woman speaking into a microphone, but something in her animation was very familiar. The figure was simple, but the color of her skin was some off pastel-ish color, and her hair was one big piece with squiggly lines. Then I heard the music... or the sound effects. There was this vocal humming and like the sound of a mouth popping, and my eyes brightened! I thought, DOUG!!!!!!! Are they actually showing DOUG!!! and then it happened, Doug himself appeared! Joyieee! - as Stimpy would say

So I watched. It was the episode when Doug has a party at his house and Rog makes them play truth or dare. Scenes at the what was it - Hog Burger? whatever there fast food joint was, and any dancing scenes are the best. Theres always a lot of boom-ba-da-da-chut-to-da-da - this crazy music made up with the creators or whoevers mouth. I loved that show! ahhhh

- weekdays at 2 people, well at least on regular Nickelodeon. Understand I have basic basic basic cable - not noggin and boom n2 thats on my sis's satellite where I was fortunate to catch Doug at like 337 in the morning.

Ahh wee oooo - killer tofuuuuuu e-ow-e <-- best episode of Doug ever, when they meet the Beets
