- By mid 2012, Doug was convinced that Nostalgia Critic (2007) was beginning to show its age and he was becoming more and more hard up for material, so he decided to bring the show's five-year-long run to a close following the release of To Boldly Flee (2012). While at the same time, site traffic for TGWTG had stagnated and a sure way of keeping people interested in their programming, Michael Michaud, the CEO, had acquired studio space in Chicago to begin producing some new shows to add to the line-up. Walker himself will be producing and starring in two of the shows. In January 2013, Walker decided to revive The Nostalgia Critic series, owing to both the critical failure of Demo Reel (2012) and because he became re-inspired to do reviews after watching The Odd Life of Timothy Green (2012), and he has announced that on February 5, the show is coming back.

- Some of the movies that he chose as the worst movies he has ever reviewed and hate the most appeared on his idols, Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert's worst movies list of the year. Gene's picks that appeared on his list were Drop Dead Fred (1991) and Patch Adams (1998) and Roger's picks that appeared on his list were Baby Geniuses (1999) and Inspector Gadget (1999). It is also hinted in their "Worst Movies of 1989" list, that Gene hated Little Monsters (1989) (while it didn't appearer on his list) when Roger put The Wizard (1989) on his worst list, both staring Fred Savage.
