It wants to pull off surreal humor but it never really gets there. The yuxtaposition of realistic backgrounds and crayoned characters is a huge mistake: the result is that the characters are overshadowed by the backgrounds, and it's plain distracting with the realistic, detailed textures and inconsistent lighting. The constant horn-blowing of that blue small animal is cute the first time and more annoying every time it repeats. And the conclusions the characters arrive to are completely out of the blue, this show doesn't encourage logical or coherent thinking at all. But what does my kid think? She actually doesn't like it very much. Although she loves TV, she starts squirming in her seat impatiently as the show goes on. I liked Doug, and I don't know if the premise of the show actually works in books, but as a show... um.

I loved that show. Didn’t Jim Jinkins also create Doug - one of the great Nickelodeon cartoons of the middle 90s? I loved that show.
