Doug happened to be the 10,000th customer at a local store and won a new video game console and a space fighter game.

He plays it all weekend and stays up all night trying to get to the last level.

Skeeter comes over and asks to play and Doug says just give me one more game, then you can have it.

then he forgets to study for his test on Monday and starts dreaming about the video game?

that shit hit me hard as a kid. Very ahead of its time.

Technically parents had raised warning bells about kids getting too into video games all the way back in the 80s and I'm pretty sure you had other shows using that trope before Doug came out. And it was kind of an updated trope anyway, since the same thing had been done for comic books and tv I think.

Yeah I remember that one

I also remember the one where Patty tells them they are having liver and onions at her birthday party or something, so Doug goes insane about it and trains himself to be able to eat that even though he hates it

and then he gets to the party and she is just like WTF you psychopath that was a joke

He should have streamed it. Then people could have given him bits or donated to his patreon and paid him.

Just shitty parents trying to find a scapegoat for their shitty parenting as usual.

I often forget that show existed... Rocko and Ren & Stimpy were my Nick go-tos. When I eventually gave Doug a chance I liked it though. But yeah, it's kinda funny how stigmatized video games were in the 90s. I remember trying to have a convo about Twisted Metal at school with my buddy once and he actually said "man, don't talk about that so much here, it's not cool" but we all played a shit ton of games. But he wasn't wrong, at the time it was kinda frowned on. Which is weird considering it's not like anyone hated them.

I can't even remember what we talked about back then. Probably some kind of cartoon or comic.

The KotH video game episode always has made me mad. Why the hell can't Hank have a hobby? He wasn't hurting anyone. I hated that episode. Pissed me off so much

It wasn't a hobby it was an addiction. He was ALWAYS playing it and shirking other duties he had to do.
