Alright, welcome everyone and it's great to see new friends and very dear old friends to our keeping badging weird, so I'm glad that this attracted everyone today to bad summit so. Mark and I participate reached out to Doug and Laura and vice versa around thinking about a learning experience around around badging so there's lots of conversations we've all been working on this for I feel like forever. But new people keep blowing in and we had participate I've been focused on building and supporting communities of practice so our current focus is really diving into kind of open recognition and recognition of each other. And understanding how communities of practice work and how badges could kind of play a role in that and so some of that was self serving to work with Doug and Laura to really think about like, how could we design learning experiences that engage a much larger community around badging digital credentials. Eliciting the help of old friends like Carrie and Cheryl and others and helping us really think about this stuff and moving this work sort of forward and so that's why we started this project and then batch summit we had all planned on. Coming anyway and we thought that this would be a really fun way to launch an open learning experience that we would just start here to play around and. Mostly also just to get all of your feedback and really kind of understand where people are coming from and what their interest is in badging what what you hope to achieve with them. And really kind of develop our own little community practice right here even within within the badging community so that's sort of our, our impetus for for bringing you all here to our little breakout session. Doug Laura. Oh, I was going to share a screen. And you know you're very welcome to mute and face mute at any point if you want to and not and also unface mute and unmute anytime as well if you've got any questions.  So basically I talked through this slide already so Doug is there anything or Laura anything else on this mark anything here around what we're sort of what our focus has been with with the keeping badges weird community. Well I think the main thing is that we're what we're trying to do with we'll talk about this in a moment but talk about kind of where badges came from we can't go through the whole history lots of you already know this. What we're trying to do is to think about the overlap between open badges digital credentials micro credentials wherever you want to call them today, and communities of practice now I think that lots of people will be quite familiar with one of those, but potentially not with both, and the overlap them is particularly interesting for participate, and we are open. Laura, you want to introduce yourself we are open mark any other words about who we are and then I'll move off this slide pretty quickly. Sure. So I'm going to introduce myself, I am Laura Hiliger from we are open, but I'm actually not going to introduce we are open I'm going to introduce participate because that's what Mark told me to do about 10 minutes ago. So for those of you who have not experienced the super awesomeness that is participate. They are an organization that are really looking at how online learning and one of my personal passions online communities join up. So they, they have a platform but they also work with teachers educators more broadly nonprofits a whole spectrum of different kind of organizations to build the kinds of spaces that brought me into the ed tech community. Over a decade ago I'm sharing my age. And they've been a joy to work with, we are open has been working with participate for a number of years and where we, I am very excited to be part of this keep badges weird project because it feels like a good time to kind of play around with some of the more innovative innovative ways that we can think about badging. Now that badging has kind of got mainstream. Well, I thank you. And I'm just going to change my mind I'm just going to participate again. Just just kidding, of course, as Laura mentioned, you know, our two organizations we are open participate have been, you know, around and working together but it's just been recently that we've had the opportunity to collaborate really deeply with we are open and we're talking about this yesterday it's just absolutely enjoy this organization to work with and so if you are looking for a group of people that a do amazing work and then be are just a blast to work with I think we have more fun on those meetings than we do pretty much anything all week long. So, helping organizations make sure digital transformations, some of the smartest people we've ever worked with and then when it comes to badges, there's really no one better, and then when it comes to like illustrating those Brian, amazing. And so, fantastic, talented group of individuals. All right. Thank you, Mark. So what we're going to do today is we're going to introduce you to kind of what participate call and what we're starting to call LXP so learning experiences. And we're trying to do something a bit different so keeping badges weird now, I could give you a lot of kind of academic background to this dive into the deep history of badges and digital credentials. So instead of doing that instead of going into all of that so we can, you know, go through that another time. We've used that experience to build an LXP, which we think will help people understand badges and communities of practice and how the two intersect. And we've done that in a community which we call keep badges weird. Now, we're going to let you loosen this community in a moment, you're going to be the very first people other than people who work for we are open or participate to go into there. So let's be back as to how you find that. So let me just talk you through a couple of things to begin with. In fact, law is going to talk you through the LXP in a moment. But I'm going to talk you through Brian's badges. Brian, as Mark said is a very talented illustrator, but more than that Brian has a deep understanding, not only of how to represent ideas visually, but all of the abstract ideas behind that having a background in computer science and having built and sold to companies. So these badges, the kinds of ones that you can earn in the keep badges weird community. And we hope that they these not only stimulate discussion, but they also represent you at a distance on social media, wherever you want to represent this and as you can see, it kind of reflects, not only the logo, but also has this kind of whimsy and slightly different from the, the official participate style of guide as it were. So the very first one, which we're hoping that you'll learn today is the one center at the bottom. So the badge at the bottom in the middle, the keep badges weird badge that's going to be the first one that you earn. Some of the rest of them go through as law is about to show in kind of a slightly linear fashion, but other ones are ones that you can dip in and out of so I'll hand it over to Laura to go through the learning experience. So as Julie mentioned at the beginning of our breakout session here. What we're trying to do is talk about the intersection of open badges and communities of practice. So it's, it's sort of meta. When you start thinking about this but what we're doing with this community is we have a community of practice that is focused on learning the, the sort of academics and theoretical frameworks and insights around a community of practice, as well as open badges so it's kind of a sort of thing so we broke the learning into two separate parts on the little, I guess it's left my left. It's collaboration so this is participation in the keep badges weird community. And as you are just being a everyday community member you're going to be doing things that are actually earning you badges around the theory and the practice of communities of practice. So, as you join the community when you introduce yourself when you interact with other people you're actually doing something that's creating value for other people, which is part of what a community of practice does at a theoretical level so you're as you do those things you're able to earn badges that shows that you understand how you're creating value within a community. And then there's a secondary part that's sort of the more theoretical part where you can self study to learn what are those values, value cycles in a community of practice what does that actually mean. What does it mean to be in cycle one or cycle to how they mingle together. And there's a another component of that earning is learning which is about self study. And, or sorry self study about badges, which a lot of you in this room probably know a lot of the basics that are there but you can actually earn a badge. It's something that you understand what that what open badges are what it actually means to award badges and there's also a designing badge component so if you've never made a badge before you can learn that in this community as well. And part of what we're doing with both of these things is trying to push people to the edge of this community but also make a leap into other communities because where the value cycles really come into play is where there's crossover and communities. So that's kind of complicated to look out really quickly, but this this graphic becomes quite simple and clear when you get into the community yourself, which is what we're going to do next. Can I take over from you. I can but I also dug I know you wanted to do a little activity it'd be great to know who's here we have a small enough group did you want to start that first in the chat did you want to do that. We could do or we could just get straight in and let people and choose themselves, those in the discussion that'd be great. Okay, all right, I will stop sharing and go ahead Laura. So, if one of my co facilitators would be kind enough to put the link into the zoom chat. I did. Does everybody see that. Did everybody see it. Yeah, you're good. So, so when you go to the link you're going to enter the community and in the upper left hand corner there's a joint community button. But you can also click on the get started by introducing yourself button. And when you do that it's going to ask you to log in or sign up. So if you've been in other participate communities you probably already have an account. So if you don't, if you just click the login you can log in with a social. And so that's pretty quick and easy. And so what we were going to do today is essentially get you to create an account and then dive into the community and we're here to ask questions. This is my other tab. And we wanted to get you to earn that very first keep badges weird badge which is very cool looking. Thank you Brian. By simply introducing yourself in the community. Tell us why you're here, maybe a little bit of a weird tidbit. You're very welcome to have some fun with your introduction, but you just write it in here and then we will get to know who is in the room. And once you've done that you're very welcome to have a look around and see what else is here. And then we'll have some time at the end it's quite a short session today but we'll have some time for some q&a. Some of you who have been around the badges space for ages might want to kind of talk more at a metal level like I'm always talking about before. Some of you who are new to badges might want to talk about the basics of badges all and any and all questions are welcome here. So, yeah, why don't you, why don't you get started to do what law has just shown. And we can, we can troubleshoot as and when you go along. That sounds great. And then, you know, for those who, you know, if you don't want to sign up or give us, it's totally fine to you can also just explore the community without joining, and you can introduce yourself in the chat. So I just want to give everyone the option of doing whatever you want. But it, and I'm just curious just thoughts here will just pause and as you are like working on stuff. Just some thoughts about anybody wants to chat, or we can just go silent for a couple minutes. Any questions so far. Just one little clarification from from me just on this screen that you're on. If you haven't signed in to participate before do the sign up. As opposed to log in. Yes, and then I just signed up with Twitter and it was dead easy. Okay, yeah, just make sure you are on sign up if you are new to us. And again, if you just want to go back to the prior length that Doug and I shared. You can just have a poke around. But we're curious. Yeah. I'm on the floor if you want to go back to the. Yeah, so, yeah. So even if you're not a member of the community or if you don't want to create account log in you can still see the kinds of things that that you can learn in the community so we have a couple of courses that were the earning is learning part of the learning and the badge curious is kind of like it's not exactly badges 101 it's like badges 102 and 103 as well. And then the communities of practice curious really gets into deepening your knowledge around communities of practice so there's a lot of good content there if you've never built a badge before this is a great place to learn. If you put in a badge, how do you actually award a badge to someone. So there's content there as well. And then under the, the resources. There's more ways to get started there's more ways to interact and there are ways that you can actually immediately enact some of those value cycles that are part of the community of practice and earn badges along the way. The community has lots of content. And, and as we said at the beginning, you guys are the first people to see this so we would love for you to have a poke around and just tell us all the things that are broken. All of your thoughts about them you guys are, there's a lot of experts here around badging and we would really love to just have your candid feedback.


Hello in this lecture we'll be working a problem about the statement of cash flow. We'll be using the indirect method to work this problem. We'll talk more about what the indirect method is as compared to the direct method as we go through this. We're going to have the information on the left hand side. We're going to enter that information into a worksheet here which will help us to put together the statement of cash flows. Support Accounting Instruction by clicking the link below giving you a free month membership to all of the content on our website broken out by category further broken out by course. Each course then organized in a logical, reasonable fashion making it much more easy to find what you need than can be done on a YouTube page. We also include added resources such as Excel practice problems, PDF files and more like QuickBooks backup files when applicable. So once again click the link below for a free month membership to our website and all the content on it. Then we'll put together the statement of cash flows and we're going to have a few adjustments to them. Few things we're going to want to learn when we do the statement of cash flows. It's good to do this because one it helps us to read the statement of cash flows which is which is good. So creating the statement of cash flows helps us to later read the statement of cash flows. It also has a similar issue in terms of balancing just like when we have the balance sheet if it's not in balance. We might have to go do the whole thing looking through the whole thing over again to see where it is out of balance. We're going to want to build a structured system in that we can basically try to find check figures along the way so that we can see if we are out of balance, where we are out of balance instead of basically waiting till we're at the end of the whole process and then having to do the whole thing over basically to find out why it's not tying out. So we're going to look for systems to put something together in such a way that we can have kind of checks as we go to prevent the case where we have to go back and do everything over again. So the statement of cash flows generally most people will take the statement of cash flows and put a worksheet together that will help them to create the statement of cash flows. That's how we'll basically approach this. Now note that the statement of cash flows is as of a flow time period has a beginning and an end. It's not a point in time such as the balance sheet but it has a beginning and an end time frame and we are of course measuring the flow of the cash, how much cash came in, how much cash came out through a certain time frame usually being a month or a year or something like that and the funny thing is that we actually measure that using basically the balance sheet often times and that balance sheet is of course as of a point in time. So what we're going to do in this case is we got the 2005 and 2004 and we are measuring the difference basically what's going to happen between that time period meaning we're measuring as of the end of the statement will be as of the end of 2005 or measuring the period ended 2005 and we're going to look at the beginning period which is the end of the last financial statement. So 2000x4 is the end of last year. It's also of course the beginning of 2000x5 same numbers and we're going to compare where we are at the end of the period the point in time, the balance sheet to where we were at the beginning of the period. The change between those two we're going to assume is where we start to figure out the flow, what happened, what happened over time, what's the change that happened. So we're going to take this information we're going to put this into our worksheet we're going to do some data entry first this is going to be a bit tedious but it's worth doing because obviously data entry is something we're going to do often and this is the first time where we're basically taking the balance sheet and putting it back into pretty much like a trial balance format. So in prior lectures we've taken a look at putting a trial balance in debit and credit format and then making a financial statement from it we're basically doing the opposite now now we've got a plus and minus format in the financial statements just on the balance sheet though and we're going to basically put that back in real quickly to a just like a trial balance debit and credit type worksheet so let's start with that. So we got the cash here cash is a debit we're going to represent debits with positive numbers and credits with negative numbers in this worksheet that will help us to save some columns also help us with some formulas. So this is going to be a 1 2 3 4 5 0 in the cash counter siebel 7 7 1 0 0 the inventory 2 4 0 6 0 0 and the prepaid expense of 15 1. We have a check figure here being the total current assets we're not going to put that total current assets the totals will not go into our worksheet however it's a good place for us to add this up and say are we doing what we should so far we add up to 456 250 456 250 so we're on track so far the property plant and equipment 262 250 and the accumulated depreciation notice if we put in 1 1 0 7 5 0 here and we do our check figure thing we add these two up it doesn't check to this check figure and if we add up all the assets it doesn't check to the total assets here why is that because the accumulated depreciation is a contra asset so people often get mixed up in this area just you can see that in this financial statement by the fact that it says less that means it's a minus problem in our case we're going to say that it's a negative or a credit over here so we're going to say this is a credit negative it's a contra asset meaning it's an asset with a credit balance unlike other assets that have debit balance so it's contra to the norm then we're going to have our liabilities liabilities are credit balance accounts we're going to represent the credit balance accounts with negative numbers on our worksheet so the accounts payable we're going to say it's negative 1 7 7 5 0 the notes payable we're going to say it's negative 15 000 for a credit if we add those two up I'm just going to highlight those two in the taskbar 32 750 ties out to the 32 750 then we're going to put down here we're going to continue on to the 100 000 and then we have total liabilities which is of course the accounts payable down here 132750 we can use our check figure 132750 looks correct we're moving on to equity equity also has a credit balance so we're going to represent the credits with negative numbers in this case so we're going to say negative 215 000 and additional paid in capital negative 30 000 and then retained earnings negative 230 and that should take us in balance meaning that the debits minus the credits equal zero note that that has to work the debits minus the credits must equal zero if it doesn't then what happened is we just probably have the sign going the wrong way on one of these and all we have to do is just go through our check figures and see that each piece ties out to the subtotals here and if they do then it will work all right so we're going to take the 2000 x1 we're going to do this one more time I know it's tedious but I'm just going to do it fairly quickly and we'll put this through here so we got the cash 61550 and then the 80750 250700 prepaid one two three zeroes 250700 prepaid expenses 17000 check the subtotals we'll highlight those 140 uh 410 410 then we'll do the property planting equipment 200 000 for equipment less meaning contra asset negative credit balance 95 000 for accumulated depreciation we can check the subtotal of 105 105 or all the assets total assets 515 515 looking good so far going down to the payables payables we've got negative 102 we've got the short term debt 10 000 credits we have a subtotal we can highlight those two 112 112 so we're looking good we're going down to the next word long term negative 775 and once again total asset total liabilities we can highlight the three liabilities taskbar adds up 189 5 looks good so far moving down to common stocks it's common stock negative credit balance 200 000 we have additional paid in capital zero retained earnings negative 125 500 that should put us in balance like so so it does do so if we have our check figure it has to work now the idea here is going to be that if we have something that is in balance indicated by the debits minus the credits equals zero and if we have something else that's in balance then we can take the difference between all these accounts and we will end up with something that will also be in balance so we're going to do a subtraction problem here and we're going to take the difference that change from 2000 x 5 and 2000 x 4 so the formula is going to be equals 2000 x 5 minus 2000 x 4 equals 2000 x 5 minus 2000 x 4 equals 2000 x 5 minus 2000 x 4 equals 2000 x 5 minus 2000 x 4 and you might be saying there is an easier way to do this and there is and we can use the autofill to continue this formula down so i'm going to do that at this time obviously the formula will be the same it's a relational formula therefore we can use the autofill by putting our cursor on the fill handle so it looks like that holding down the left click and dragging down auto drives it down dr. filth calculates and there it is we get the zero sub total down here now obviously if we want to see what's happening we can double click on any cell and it's still the same thing that is going on so if we take the difference from each of these items then it must add up to zero that change must add up to zero so now that we have this little worksheet here what we're going to do is we're going to take that worksheet and we're going to put it into the format of a statement of cash flows what does the statement of cash flows look like it's going to have three parts it's going to have cash flows from operations and that is going to be the area where it's most related to the question of it is related to the question of whether we have a direct or indirect method so we're going to be using an indirect method and the idea here being that if we look at the income statement it's on an accrual basis so when we think about the income statement how much revenue and expenses we have that's how we did over time but it's on an accrual basis and we want to see what the flows are in terms of cash so we could take the income statement and rename the entire thing meaning we could rename the the sales account or the revenue account to be cash received from customers and rename the expense account to be cash paid but that might take more work in some cases if we already have that would be the direct method by the way if we already have the net income number it could be easier for us to actually take that ending balance number that we've already calculated on the income statement and then back out the things that are not cash and that's going to be the indirect method the indirect method is by far the most used method and there's a few reasons for that one it might be a little bit easier for the reasons we just stated that we already calculated net income and two many times it's required in a lot of different settings so a lot of times if you do the direct method you still have to do the indirect method I personally do like the direct method because I think it presents the the information in a way that more people more readily understand because it just represents the information in in terms of a cash flow on an income statement but the indirect method is is by far the most used so therefore we're going to take a look at the indirect method so we're going to start with net income and then back everything out from there in the indirect method uh we also have however cash flows that are not on the income statement they're not basically income statement type things they're things that uh such as cash flows from investing activities so if we purchase like a truck or a large piece of equipment a building then that wouldn't be on the income statement even though there's cash flow so we're going to record the cash flow but we're going to put it down here into an investing activities and then we've got cash flow from financing activity and once again those are going to be things that cash went in and out we paid or received loans or something like that dividends and whatnot we'll go into this section now the idea here is going to be that we want to find a home for all of these numbers once we find a home for all of these numbers we will be in balance in this case we're shown we're in balance by this zero down here in the statement of cash flows what's going to happen is we're going to find a home for all numbers except cash right and if we find a home for all numbers except cash what will be the difference it will be the change in cash sixty one nine sixty one nine so this sixty one nine is going to be at the end of the cash flow statement that's going to be the increase right there so that's what we're going to end up with we're going to find a home for everything else which will leave us with the change in cash um also want to note that we are first just going to find a home for the numbers listed here in this type of format that i'm showing you uh we will then later have to go back in and break some of these changes out into smaller components into components of these numbers i would suggest that we first find a home for all of these numbers and then recognize that we're going to have to go back and find a home for uh or fix some of those numbers or break them out into the components the reason for this is because this will help us to basically be in balance and then do the changes in such a way that we can not have a problem and and end up once again being at the end of the process and not knowing where we went out of balance so if we find a home for all these numbers before we start breaking them up into a bunch of different numbers then we can say okay we're in balance now let's adjust what needs to be adjusted and if something gets out of whack we have a uh we know where went out of whack and that's with the adjusting process so in order to do that we're going to we're going to basically just go through this list of accounts but we're really going to start with net income because that's going to be the start of the cash flows from operations and again most of you're going to be really tempted to say well let's go look at the income statement that's that's where net income is and you're right but i'm going to start with net income as the change how can we think of what net income is as far as the change in the balance sheet and oftentimes this is like the most confusing question to start off with but the answer to that is in retained earnings so the change in retained earnings is in part going to be net income so this and that's because basically we closed out net income to retained earnings in the closing process so retained earnings part of that change the big part most of it is net income now you so we're going to use that 104 and in order to bring that 104 up here i'm going to put a negative and point to this 104 and enter so i'm going to flip the sign i'm going to do that with all of these accounts just to make the worksheet work that's just how the worksheet is going to work don't worry about this side over here that's going to be when we adjust the information the first thing you're going to probably say is well you know we have

We will no longer be publishing these videos onto the main channel, due to the success of our shows like History and Origins. We don't want to upset the algorithm or the subscribers, so if that's what you're interested in, the links will be in the description below. Now on to our video. Premiering on Nickelodeon on August 11th, 1991, and created by Jim Jenkins as one of Nickelodeon's three original animated series, in fact it's been named the first Nicktoon, as in Nickelodeon cartoon, and it aired episodes on Nick until January 2nd, 1994, but continued to air reruns until 2002. Disney acquired the series in 1996 and adjusted it creatively, then renamed it Brand Spanking New Doug, eventually changing it to Disney's Doug in 1998. Disney aired it for three years on ABC's One Saturday Morning lineup, where it became a top-rated show. Inspiring various books, merchandise, a live musical stage show, and a theatrical feature, Doug's first movie, which was released at the series conclusion in 1999. But even though it was successful with Disney, let's face it, the Disney era was horrendous. Let me explain. The artwork, while still good and keeping the original spirit, just wasn't the same as when it aired on Nick. Giving Doug long hair in the Disney series premiere, along with 80s baseball style, three-quarters sleeves, just didn't look right. And the intro, oh my god, that intro was horrendous. We go from a beatboxing, humming intro on Nickelodeon, which easily got stuck in our brains, to what sounds like someone whistling over multiple instruments. Jim Jenkins is quoted as saying, Disney bought ABC, created One Saturday Morning, and began to court my company Jumbo Pictures. So should I stay with Nickelodeon, who is through with me, or get bought by Disney, where we get to create 65 new half-hours of Doug, a feature-length movie, Doug live for their theme parks, toys, books, additional funding for the development and production of many new series. To quote a famous movie line, they made an offer we couldn't refuse. The thing about Disney's Doug was actually pretty rare at the time. It wasn't a reboot or a remake. It continued right where Nickelodeon's Doug left off, but I'm getting pretty ahead of myself. Nickelodeon's Doug followed the title character, 11-year-old Douglas Yancey-Funny, Doug to his friends. At some point in every episode, he's seen writing his thoughts in his journal, while dictating via voiceover. He starts each journal entry with, dear journal, it's me, Doug.  He's also one of a few cartoon characters to be left-handed. Other characters in the series included Patty Mayonnaise, who was Doug's not-so-secret crush, Doug's dog Pork Chop, his best friend Skeeter Valentine, sister Judy, bully Roger Klotz, and neighbors Bud and Tippi Dink, among other friend and family members who have occasionally showed up. Nickelodeon's Doug was released on DVD for seasons one and two in 2008, and for seasons three and four in 2009. In the pilot episode, Doug Funny and his family, Phil, Theta, and sister Judy, come to a new town called Bluffington. After moving away from their former residence in Bloatsburg, there he meets Skeeter Valentine, Patty Mayonnaise, Roger Klotz, and BB Bluff. And his new life in town begins. The series addressed a number of topics, like trying to fit in, platonic and romantic relationships, self-esteem, bullying, and rumors. Many episodes centered on Doug's attempts to impress Patty Mayonnaise. Jenkins developed Doug from drawings in a sketchbook that he created over the course of the 1980s, and was a mostly autobiographical creation, which was largely inspired by Jenkins' childhood growing up in Virginia, with most characters in the series being based on real people. Jenkins credits the series odd color choices from being in a margarita stupor. He first pitched Doug as a children's book to uninterested publishers before Nickelodeon purchased the show. Following this, the series underwent further development, in which Jenkins meticulously detailed every aspect of the show's setting. He was insistent that the series would have a purpose and instructed writers to annotate each script with a moral. The show's unusual soundtrack consists largely of scat singing and mouth noises composed by Dan Sawyer and Fred Newman. Nickelodeon's Doug only ran for 52 episodes, and his voice cast consisted of Billy West, who voiced Doug, Fred Newman, who voiced Skeeter, Mr. Dink, and Porkchop, Constance Shulman, who voiced Patty Mayonnaise, Billy West, who voiced Roger, Alice Platen, who voiced Bebe Bluff, Doug Price, who voiced Chucky, Becca Lish, who voiced Connie Benj and Judy Funney, and Eddie Corbich, who played both Al and Moose Leech. After four seasons and 52 episodes of Doug, Nickelodeon declined to order the additional 13, citing the show's expensive budget. The network had a two-year window in which it could reverse the decision, so Jenkins received strong interest from several networks, among them ABC, and each time he received that interest, they would notify Nickelodeon in order to speed up ordering the series' fifth season. In 1996, the Walt Disney Company purchased ABC, while also purchasing Doug in a multi-million dollar deal with Jenkins and Campbell. The deal involved buying Jumbo Pictures and signing them to a five-year contract, with stock options to be Disney executives. The company also purchased the Doug trademark and the rights to all future merchandising, due to the two-year lapse between series, due to the two-year lapse between series.  Even most of the original staff members regard the Disney era as inferior. Jenkins was less hands-on regarding the production of the show's Disney episodes due to other responsibilities. Jenkins later said, I mostly agree with Doug fans who think the original 104 11-minute Doug stories made for Nick were the best. David Campbell felt the Nickelodeon episodes were quirkier and better. While Constance Shulman, you know, Patty Manet's voice actor, felt voice recording sessions were not the same in the show's newer incarnation. I missed the gig. Crammed in the studio waiting for their turn for the big group scene, someone just dimmed the magic a bit. Disney's Doug took place a few months after Nickelodeon's series finale, Doug graduates and Doug's bad trip. Where Doug and his friends graduate from Bluffington Elementary School as sixth graders and begin their first year at B.B. Bluff Middle School as seventh graders. It also dealt with the everyday life of the title character, as well as Patty, B.B., Chucky Studebaker, and Connie Bench, as Doug tries to stay out of the way of local bully Roger Klotz, as well as his rival for Patty's affection, Guy Grant. Disney's Doug premiered on ABC as part of their Saturday morning lineup in the spring of 1996. In September of 97, it joined the one Saturday morning block along with newcomers Recess and Pep Ran. It also ran in syndication on what was left of the Disney afternoon in 1997. For reruns, then ended in 1999 with 65 episodes, which is the episode limit for most Disney TV shows, and re-ran on ABC until 2001. Then aired on the Disney Channel from 2001 to 2004. In this version of the series, Doug was voiced by Tom McHugh, Skeeter, Bugdink, and Portchop, once again by Fred Newman, Roger by Chris Phillips, Constance Shulman returned to the role of Patty, Alice Platen returned as B.B., Doug Price as Chucky, Becca Lisch as Connie, Judy, Data Funny, and a few others. In January of 1999, the stage show Doug Live opened up in the Disney MGM Studios and was performed five times daily around the time Doug and Patty appeared as meet and greet characters in the park. Doug's first movie was released in cinemas in March of 1999. It was originally planned for a direct video release until Disney decided to release it theatrically due to the success of their competitor, Nickelodeon's Rugrats movie. Despite getting harsh reviews from critics, the movie was still a huge success for Disney in the box office. Disney has no intention of releasing Doug on DVD, but on November 12, 2019, Disney's version of the series was released on Disney Plus Streaming Service, along with Doug's first movie. Other changes between the two series include Roger Klotz has gone from being a bully living in a trailer park to a rich kid and rival to B.B. Bluff. Skeeter had a gross burden in his arms, Connie lost quite a bit of weight, the Hunker Burger had been sold and turned into Shea Honk, a French restaurant. Doug's new school, which was named after B.B. Bluff because her dad built it after the old one collapsed, opened a Mr. Swirly ice cream parlor which became the new hangout for all the kids. The beats, which was Doug and his friend's favorite band broke up, and one major change was that the show became digitally colored as opposed to the hand-painted cells used in the Nickelodeon series.
