Had a dream about a legacy sequel show for Doug. Here's the pitch:
Doug and Patty end up together through high school but they end up going to different colleges. They try to make it work long distance but eventually it doesn't work. Doug becomes a semi-famous webcomics artist who also has a popular blog attached to the webcomic.
One day Doug gets a letter that his favourite childhood neighbour Mr. Dink has passed away and left all of his money and his old house to Doug. (He had no kids and his wife died earlier.) With a bunch of money saved up and a paid off house, Doug decides to move back to Bluffington to do his webcomic and blog from his roots, living next to his parents and in his old hometown.
Patti's dad got sick and so she had to quit college to get a job and support him. While this happened she ended up hanging out with Roger who became less of a jerk after school, and they ended up having a kid. But the relationship didn't work out and she ends up with custody. Patti and Roger's son is now 10-13 years old.
Now with Doug back on the scene he tries to rekindle the romance with Patti who is more than willing to give it a shot, with the complication that he is now also surrogate parenting the son of his high school bully. Roger Jr. isn't a bad kid but he's had a rough go of it and so he acts out a bit.
The show is Doug dealing with the challenges of raising a teenage son that isn't his, reconnecting with an old relationship, and seeing how small town life has changed for all of his old friends over the last 20+ years.
