To keep our ratings ummmm we have ratings? This time we look at Doug (if your name is Doug we aren't looking at you , don't worry). Our title gives away a clue but we'll get to that later. Let's star.
"Doug's Christmas Story" is a season 4 episode of Nickeloden's series Doug and honestly , it's a very unorthodox Christmas episode.
Doug starts with telling us that something bad happened starting two days before Christmas. The other kids are playing on a frozen over pond when the ice starts to crack as thin ice does. Doug's dog ,Pork Chop, sees Bebe Bluff about to go near where the nice is cracking and he tries to stop her but it doesn't work and continues on when he bites her leg to move her away. But instead of being hailed hero dog , Pork Chop is accused of attacking Bebe . Even Doug keeps with the accusation.

Porkchop tries telling Doug that it's not what it seems (the dog doesn't talk ... he more mimes it ... cartoon logic) but for now that doesn't work. The former mayor (this show really does hold continuity well) is hosting a radio show when he gets a caller who talks about the girl that got attacked. (This is before the internet messed up lives...radio did) Doug comes back home and notices a circus of media and cops at his house.

Just like a real life politician the former mayor is also their trying to score some publicity points (or a jerk) and having the dog put away for good. Meanwhile Mr.Bluff, BeBe's dad, is pressing charges against Porkchop . (What the heck ...what kind of town is this ... I am not paying taxes in Bluffington ...nevermind) Doug tires a petition to help save his dog , and besides the current Mayor's husband (she's away) signs it and everyone else chooses not to because it's a town full of jerks. Doug decides to see Bebe who is in the hospital ,but her father is un reasonable. (and apparently hates dogs for not having money or knowing what money is )
For Chirstmas eve , there will be a trial , (they took the whole ..right to a speedy trial literally) Porkchop tries again to explain to Doug what really happened. Bebe is hauled into the courtroom in a wheel chair , Doug stands up for his dog (silly Doug wants to do things the right way) . At the lake Porkchop starts getting relied up when Bebe this time falls into the ice and Porkchop leaps to save her.

Pork Chop is acquitted and the next day the townspeople come over and apologized (as they should) including the Bluffs.
That's the episode anyway it's umm the strangest thing ever ...it's more the episode itself took place at Christmas but Christmas is really not the full theme of the episode which is interesitng to say the least.
Tune in next time when... (ppsst whisper whisper) oh yeah that oh well ready for more? Join me after the Jump.
In this day in age you wouldn't hear of show made by Nick going to any other us channel that's not owned by Viacom. (You'll pry Spongebob from our cold dead hands!) Doug on the otherhand made the jump and even now is owned by Disney. For our purpose there was another Christmas episode.. so ready?
"Doug's Secret Christmas" is our episode.
This one starts with a Grinch parody (because why not ). Doug starts talking about Christmas traditons followed by his. This year his mom is pregnant and his father tells him that "Santa's not going to have time for presents this year" and decides not to show his Christmas list. Meanwhile Doug wants to get a Christmas tree but there is already a small thing there because the baby is coming soon.
ermm ... ooh uhhhh / copyright Disney
Doug goes searching for a Christmas for Patty, when he sees Skeeter who finds a Christmas Tree Waffle iron. Skeeter misses his Dad's Christmas tree waffle iron and so Doug kindly donates some money to help him out , choosing to make Patty's gift instead.(that was nice)
Doug finds out that they aren't going to his Grandma's house this makes Doug sad and he decides to a secret Christmas in his room. (That's not a euphemism )
It's Christmas day and Doug was expcecting his family to see his "secret Christmas" (umm Doug needs a dictionary) and he can't find his family (maybe they melted) when the phone rings , with his father calling his mom is had the baby. Thus on Christmas Day... a baby was born named Cleopatra Dirt Bike Funnie (what).
Umm she's going to hate her name/ copyright Disney
Anyway, Doug finally has his Christmas on the 27th and with his friends coming over and everything.
And now...that's our episode ... tune in next time when Fox buys Doug and makes another Christmas episode (that doesn't happen) .
