To be honest... I probably didn't HATE this persay.
I think I was kind of annoyed at how the writers changed too many things from the orginal series, and yes, I understood what they were trying to do, I understood that they were saying that life changes as you grow up, and we can't expect things to stay the same, but they changed far too much in one go.
I didn't hate this version though, I remember it being one of the Saturday Morning shows, and watching it in bed before I got up as a kid - I viewed it as inferior to the original Doug obviously, but I was okay with it.
