There's...Except they're NOT self-contained. There's a pretty specific chronology in the series based on recurring bit characters (such as Fentruck) and certain developments. There are just some occasional continuity errors that pop up, which may in part be the result of episodes being made in a different order than they were released. <br /><br />And I've always thought the Hamburger boy episode, which seems to pose the most problems in the series in terms of continuity, was intended to be surreal. <br /><br />I'm pretty sure "handcuffed together" is a classic trope.ToddManning9394https://www.blogger.com/profile/01109672197429692619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779496577046359314.post-29108326008452281352011-11-14T12:51:31.319-08:002011-11-14T12:51:31.319-08:00You probably should've pointed out that this e...You probably should've pointed out that this episode's plot was basically "borrowed" from a Hey Dude episode where Ted and Brad get handcuffed together. It was later re-reused in an episode of Rugrats. <br /><br />Once again, the show's self-contained episodic format will soon be apparent, as in S4's Doug's Fan Club, our favorite sixth grade psychopath has clearly forgotten about his experience with magic in this episode.<br /><br />I remember seeing Doug's confession to Patti at the end of this episode and also being like, "Damn! He finally told her how he feels, and she gave him a positive response." Only to be immediately disappointed when he didn't finally ask her out, despite having the perfect opportunity. I think it's pretty safe to say that, a few years later, Doug was Patti's goto guy to complain about how nervous she was about asking Chalky to the school dance. Or maybe he was her rebound guy after dumping Chalky for being too much of a sex fiend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779496577046359314.post-1397789121284172952011-11-13T22:26:12.781-08:002011-11-13T22:26:12.781-08:00I always assumed this was the last episode, but I ...I always assumed this was the last episode, but I guess it wasn'trubber cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14625795236697246069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779496577046359314.post-16350927334574894592011-11-13T09:32:49.135-08:002011-11-13T09:32:49.135-08:00Funny to think we're down to the last season n...Funny to think we're down to the last season now.

If that doesn't work, I will find another way. I really wish they were on the dvd though.<br /><br />2.

Only season 4 of the Nickelodeon version remains.<br /><br />A few things:<br /><br />1) How are you gonna be able to cover "Doug's Bum Rap" and "Doug's Babysitter"? Neither of those episodes are on the season 4 DVD.<br /><br />2) I'd suggest you cover "Doug's Halloween Adventure" and "Doug's Christmas Story" as the 4th and 10th respective episodes of season 4. Not only were they the 4th and 10th episodes respectively in terms of production order for season 4, but it was recently confirmed through a few researched articles posted on wikipedia that they actually aired in 1993. Again, just a simply suggestion.vnisanian2001https://www.blogger.com/profile/10573983486399817130noreply@blogger.com
