Doug

In the series premiere, we find the Funnie family have moved from Bloatsburg and are just arriving at their new home in the town of Bluffington. 11 year old Doug Funnie writes his thoughts in his journal and worries he won't be able to make any friends. On a search to find food for his Mom (Theda), Dad (Phil) and sister (Judy), Doug meets his next door neighbour Mr. Dink. He shows Doug a video about Bluffington and introduces him to the popular hangout fast food restaurant called The Honker Burger. When Doug gets to the hangout, he meets Skeeter Valentine who befriends him right away. Doug also meets Patti Mayonnaise and right away, has a secret crush on her. However, all is not well when he also meets the local bully Roger Klotz who tricks Doug into believing he has to catch a monster called a Neematoad at Stinsen's Pond to be a town hero.

Doug is excited about going to his first school costume dance, and possibly having the opportunity to dance with his dream girl, Patti. But Doug's excitement soon fades when Roger reminds him that he has no dancing talent, so Doug goes to Skeeter for dancing tips.

Doug makes a model of a volcano for a science project. But when rumor has it that the volcano erupted, and caused the whole science room to explode, Doug decides to disguise himself as Jack Bandit and go on the lam to avoid the cops.

When Porkchop begins acting very strangely, Doug tries to find out what's causing his friend's odd behavior. It turns out that Porkchop has come down with a case of ""puppy love"" for a local poodle.

Doug refuses to get his picture taken for School Photo Swap Day at school, because he has suddenly become self-concious of his nose after Skeeter's brother Dale calls Doug ""big nose"".

Doug joins the Bluff Scouts and on his first camping trip with the scouts, Roger ""volunteers"" to be Doug's camping partner.
