Maverick Quickie-When Roger Klotz's wet hair predicted the show's eventually move to Disney

What I find fun is to look at the times DOUG's Nickelodeon series predicted the eventual move to the Mouse House.

The pilot episode DOUG CAN'T DANCE had a background character dress up as Mickey Mouse but what I actually like better is this one screenshot from the 1993 episode DOUG'S SHOCK THERAPY. 

There's this one scene I took back in 2019 when I got my AMAZON Nickelodeon series DVD where Roger gets his hair wet. Now I've seen several scenes where Roger gets his hair wet but look at how his hair looks.

Doesn't this eerily look similar to how his hair would eventually look in the Disney series?

Well sort of. The main difference is that Roger combs his hair in the Disney Version whereas the image from the SHOCK THERAPY above, his hair was genuinely wet.... due to Vice Principal Lamar Bone's antics.

I'm using the image of Roger from DOUG's 1ST Movie because it's has one of the few pieces of DOUG media from the Disney era that brought back Roger's old leather Jacket because throughout the tv series, Roger traded in his Jacket for a leather vest with a short sleeve shirt or a long sleeve shirt in any episode set in the winter season.

The predictions made by DOUG during it's Nickelodeon days may actually predate the memes about THE SIMPSONS making accurate predictions about the future. Just think about it.

I saw an episode from the Nick Series that had skeeter playing with an Ocarina, a good 7 years before THE LEGEND OF ZELDA OCARINA OF TIME made ocarinas popular.

And DOUG's vocal performances provided by Billy West during the Nick era gave birth to Fry in Futurama... which I actually watch on Disney+.

Most of my Maverick Quickies are pseudo-long and dry but I just love to point out many things that often get referenced in Wikis but don't have any screenshots to back them up. Well I do now.

By the way, those Roger Klotz photos above were taken on my iPhone back in the day because back then, I didn't build my computer, nor did I download VLC Player on the Macbook Pro I used back in the day but now I have better hardware.

However, unless I find the Disney episodes on Archive.org, I can only get my screenshots from my Nickelodeon series DVD on VLC Player due to how streaming apps and streaming websites have that some infernal copy protection code that gives me black screens.PNGs whenever I attempt a screen capture.

And how is it I'm getting screenshots from VLC Player with DVDs you ask?

I installed an internal LG Blu-Ray Burner in my PC back in September 2023.

Update as of November 26 2024:

I eventually made a post about DOUG predicting the rising popularity of Ocarinas back in 1991.....
