Fun Fact: In the Japanese dub of Doug, Doug was voiced by none other than Masako Nozawa (the voice of Goku)

[@alyxgraff9121]

I didn't know the guy who made Doug had such an influence on 90s/2000s kids channels. That's amazing.

[@akganimationstudioproducti3779]

[@magnetoonproductions9541]

Doug inspired a lot of slice of life shows in the 90s and 2000s.

Doug was ass.

[@corduroycrook]

Jim is legitimately a legend, I loved all of these series. I was like 12-13 and still checking in on Pinky Dinky Do. Thats how I learned the word flabbergasted 😂

[@MovieMadness23]

Fun fact: the actor who voiced Ricky Raccoon in PB&J Otter actually grew up to be the lead singer of 21 Pilots

[@RyanMcKennaGosling]

I did not know that. And also the actor who played Peanut became a TikTok star, i'm sure he has other roles like Supernatrual and Malcolm in the Middle.

[@JaydenLibranVO]

Wow I never realized just how similar all those characters designs looked!

[@nyanpirethecat2257]

You can tell Jim Jinkin's art style easily since characters in Jumbo/Cartoon Pizza's shows usually have a single eyebrow.

[@mechajay3358]

Kinda really feel bad for Jim, first Nickelodeon screwed him over by canceling Doug despite it being a hit and keeping the rights to the show, then Disney later screwed him over the exact same goal despite making a ton of shows for them.

[@BluffsCastle]

I like how all of the Jumbo/Cartoon Pizza shows have something in common, like how they all have black dots for eyes, and the recurring word "dink" (examples: Doug's neighbor Mr. Dink, Dinky the elephant from Jojo's Circus, Pinky Dinky Doo) which stands for Dual Income, No Kids.

[@kevin10001]

For me after my recent rewatch of brand spanking new Doug on Disney+ I noticed as the show went on they relied heavily upon quailman segments to fill out episodes unlike during the Nickelodeon seasons where quailman wasn’t used like a crutch to just fill an episode’s runtime something I didn’t really notice as a child watching Doug on Nickelodeon and abc but noticed as an adult

[@christurner4799]

I remember watching Pinky Dinky Doo at my grandma’s house when I was a kid with some other kids she’d used to babysit after we got out of School and we all liked and laughed whenever that blue (i think it was a genuine pig or hamster or something like that) would shake his butt when they’d all sing and dance

[@cassiebrock7376]

I remember most of these shows growing up I never knew their were from the same company.

[@magnetoonproductions9541]

Nick used to give the IPs back to the artists when they had 65 half hours or less? That’s quite a policy. Unfortunately, from the looks of things, it didn’t last very long, since all the shows after Doug’s first few seasons are still owned by them.

[@markfacebook]

IIRC 65 half-hours was the metric for syndication. After 65 episodes of a 30 minute TV show, companies could sell those packages to local channels to play. I assume back then Nick just didnt see the value in any show they couldnt sell to other stations to play on the weekday afternoons or weekend blocks.

Few times on KZbin have I ever subscribed so fast. The informative style, the seamless editing, the raw reporting, the background knowledge, the inevitable nostalgia waves because of the subject matter, not to mention it’s a channel by a fellow POC who also seems to be a fellow Millennial to boot. My girlfriend agrees. All of the factors for a successful channel. You’re literally The Gaming Historian, but for TV and film.

[@somebodyelseathome]

Excellent video. I never knew Jim Jenkins and his studio was involved with so many different shows with different art styles . Hope your 2024 is going well.

[@taejasper1343]

Damn it, Disney! When Disney took over Doug from Nickelodeon, they also had a deal with Jumbo to produce shows like PBJ&J Otter and Stanley! I'll always have fond memories of Jumbo and watching their shows, but I'll always hate Disney and how they screwed up both the company and Doug, man! I hated most of Disney's run of Doug expect the finale episode, that was great and probably the only other good part about that run of the show besides the movie that they made in 1999 months before the series ended later in like May-June of the same year! It's sad to see them like this, bro! It really is! Rest in peace, Jumbo!

[@AnthonyChobotdoespopcultresand]

Even I don’t understand why Disney took Doug from Nickelodeon?, ever since when I was a kid I have been watching Doug on Nickelodeon, until later it’s now Disney’s Doug!

[@Ihartwalrusguy]

Why can’t Nickelodeon buy back the rights to Doug from Disney? Just give em the rights to the first Indiana Jones films, that’s how Disney Got Oswald back.

[@StagehandMotel6]

Cause Nick doesn't own it Jim does. If the show was like Spongebob. Nick would have a case. But that was their policy back in the day.

[@mattschehr163]

@@mattschehr163 Do some research into lawsuits. Nobody sues just because, especially if they don’t have a feasible case to win, much less if they know there’s no grounds for the suit to be pursued in the first place. Plus, do you realize how big of a corporation Disney is? I can guarantee they rarely lose a lawsuit, especially if it’s involving an IP that they legally already own.

[@StagehandMotel6]

@@mattschehr163 what would be the point? Disney made their money with Doug and they even got a movie out of it. But again has to be if Doug had the popularity on the level of certain shows. The problem is Jim has his Doug IP but it's only from Nickelodeon. He owns that. Disney however owns the other form of Doug. The one that failed to bring in residuals.

[@razorblademask]

@@mattschehr163 so they can bring it back as a sad shell of its former self but the execs hope everyone will be blinded by nostalgia and just accept it? Nah. Doug has long lost a real popularity.

[@razorblademask]

I was a kid with the first Doug series and loved it. Then 1SM Doug came out and it was some adjusting, but having watched some of it as an adult I think it was perfect for me. First episode is all about how the world changes around you at that age and boy did I need that assurance that change isn't necessarily bad haha.

[@honeybnoir824]

Great video! I learned a lot from this! I had no idea that Jim Jinkins was involved in all these shows I grew up watching aside from Doug. Also, the original Doug that was on Nick took place in an elementary school. The Disney series took place in a junior high school. It was mentioned in the graduation episode way before Disney’s Doug became a thing. Just something I wanted to clarify.

I think that's unfortunate for the company and Jim. Ending due to bigger company being more greedy and the type content you want to make (which isn't controversial) not welcomed due to the change of the tide.

My sister and I grew up with Nickelodeon's version of Doug. Disney's, not so much. By the late 90s, I was entering adulthood, and she was entering her preteen years, so we weren't looking for these shows after a while. By the 2000s, I was already in my early 20s, and she was in her teens, so we don't know what kids were watching at the time. But I do feel like Jumbo Pictures was a staple of our childhoods. Oh, 90s Nick, you will be missed.

Doug was in Elementary School in the Nick run, Middle School in the Disney run.

[@YakkoWarnerTower]

Doug wasn't my favorite but oh man it still is probably witty and I do watch it once in a good while.

[@TheRareware64]

As it's true that Disney did shut down poor Jumbo in 2000, I mostly blame Nick/ViacomCBS for under-utilizing it since Nick couldn't produce the last 13 episodes of their version of Doug. And to think with how popular Jumbo Pictures was to both Nickelodeon and Disney, I'm shocked that Cartoon Network didn't see the potential of what they could've saved, that being Jumbo Pictures. If they got to make their Doug (with Jumbo at their helm), I guarantee you Doug would go down in history as the one cartoon to jump all 3 TV juggernauts: Nick, Disney and CN, hopefully bringing peace to all crossover enthusiasts.

[@sp123]

All media eventually loses it's popularity and trying to revive it leads to diminishing returns. Shows that last generations like The Simpsons and Dragonball are exceptions to the rule

[@TheRareware64]

@@sp123 I'd argue with your point, but look at what Disney did for Doug. However, I have a counter-argument for that; since both Tom Warburton and John Dilworth were in Jumbo Pictures and made successful CN shows, they can help Jim revive Doug for CN, and it's likely Billy West can't say no to reprising as his previous roles from Doug. Plus, imagine CN Doug in the early 2000's as being a part Cartoon-cartoons; having his own bumpers before commercials, interacting with the other CN originals in CC Fridays and possibly having Doug himself make Easter Egg appearances in CN shows. The possibilities are endless!

[@remixchild]

[@muppetsretrofan8873]

Jim deserved so much better. He was on Nickelodeon before it was even Nickelodeon and they just dumped him and his studio, and then Disney treated him like trash too. Nick doesn't even acknowledge his role as Minus from Pinwheel. His story reminds me a bit of Will Vinton's story in a few ways. At least Jim didn't have his company stolen from him.

[@CubeAtlantic]

i haven't watched Doug in yrs that Jumbo logo or something interconnected kind of boosted-up Doug nostalgia.

[@himonightbreeze]

For the longest time I thought Doug was in high school but found out he's only in the 5th grade. Which means in the episode where he and Skeeter go to see The Beets, his parents let their 5th grader go to a concert in another city, and his only companion IS ANOTHER 5TH GRADER! The first episode, they send him to get food IN A TOWN THEY LITERALLY JUST MOVED TOO, like stuff is still on the truck, and they sent this kid off ON HIS OWN. Why not just give him to a kidnapper? So many Nicktoons had unaccompanied minors and child endangerment that's just laughed off later. (Except that one episode of Rugrats we don't talk about.)

[@honeybnoir824]

Yeah, a lot of unrealistic stuff happened on this series. We don’t really think about this stuff as kids, but as an adult, it’s clearly not a good idea to let 10-year-olds go out and about like that even if the town is pretty safe.

[@blinkowarner3117]

@honeybnoir824 I don't think you realize how common it was. Kids had bikes and skateboards. They went off by themselves all the time. This helicopter parenting thing now is relatively new. A kid like Doug, who was trustworthy and wouldn't get into mischief, would have been allowed to wander about and explore the town. Especially at age 11-12. It's not especially unrealistic for the 90s.

Try watching "A better schedule for Nickelodeon's main block" by Evan Rosman.

[@Attmay]

It doesn't matter if I watch it if nobody at Nickelodeon watches it. Either way, the reputational damage is done and is likely irreversible. There's no coming back from multiple child Cosbying accusations with evidence to back them up. These were not low-level employees doing this, even if they kept the ball rolling for it for longer than it should've been going on when it never should've been allowed at all. Even if the inventors of Nickelodeon had pure intentions, they were long gone from the company by the end of the 90s and the peak of the hegemony of Dan Schneider over the network. And *Little Bill* was also on that network.
