Along with Dexter's Laboratory, this is the show that has kept me watching Cartoon Network, even when they put dribble like "Totally Spies" on.

This series, although having a few 'flat' episodes, is a great example of a well made cartoon. Rarely do you hear the same music twice (which has, on numerous occasions destroyed other series where you hear the same stuff over again over numerous seasons), the voice acting is always great (from the main characters to Mr. Katz and the Goose God), the animation is great (the varied reactions they give Courage is worth watching for alone) and the stories are always unique, even when they're not up to the series standard bar (which is pretty darn high, IMO).

Ultimately, the series is a culmination of so many excellent factors, with the most important being the way that it can be scary but not so much that you can't let kids watch it. It's the perfect black humor cartoon for kids and adults that I wish was out on DVD, as I'd buy it in an instant.

My personal favorite episodes are "The Chicken From Outer Space", "Revenge of the Chicken From Outer Space", "King Ramses' Curse" and "The Gods Must Be Goosey". I am very glad that they're currently re-showing this on Cartoon Network, because if you haven't seen it, you deserve to.

So this cartoon is about a dog called Courage "saving" his 2 owners (forgot their names) in every episode. At first I thought this was just a "good" cartoon, shouldn't be rated 9 (coz I rated 9) bt then there are a few remarks about this film which makes it so extraordinary... In courage the cowardly dog, Courage is just a normal dog, he sees everything in a dog's eyes, in which the villains are just normal people, but to a little dog, they seem scary. And they don't actually live in nowhere, it's just that his owners are too old to bring him for a walk, he only knows everything around his immediate property, and everything beyond it is nothing because he's never seen it.This show is by far one of the shows that has such great significance behind it, and because the whole plot is written in a dog's eyes, everything looks so hideous and immense.

It was a really good show. It was my favorite childhood show.I don't know why they had to cancel it. Nowadays the cartoons have no meaning in them. It's just the same version of the other cartoons. But Courage The Cowardly Dog was a show which didn't lack anything for me. It had comedy, horror, and everything i would want in a good cartoon. The show sometimes used to make me cry. There were crazy episodes every time. It was never the same type of episodes, which was an impressive thing for me.I used to wait for this show to come on T.V everyday... it was a golden show for me... It was an AWESOME show... and i want it to come back on air again.

This series has adult appeal as the plots are sophisticated and intelligent and relaxing for the overworked adult and not very childish.

The stories are dark oriented but poke fun at all sorts of sources and subjects.

Generally the series ranks close to the Fox Network lineup of cartoon based shows but lacks nudity (I think!) and vulgarity so it has a universal "PG" rating like appeal. More like the Shrek movies.

There is good consistency amongst the writings and design that keeps it interesting and a long of tongue in cheek humor that adults would enjoy without any significant childish components typical in "children only" cartoons.

I'm sure everyone of every age would enjoy this series.

I may only be 13 years old but i love courage the cowardly dog! I think it SHOULD continue because it is very entertaining and fun to watch.

i have plenty of friends who say they miss it. even though it stopped making new shows in 2002 doesn't mean it couldn't come back on, also even though it comes on about 3 to 4 times a day i think it should make a new show it is very important to me and all of the other fans. John r. DIlworth to me is a very creative guy who should continue.

Now a days we have these non- entertaining shows like chowder, George of the jungle, out of jimmy's head, squirrel boy, my gym partners a monkey,and fosters. i think its outrageous and i can't stand it (also this is my opinion so you can't get mad if you agree). ( no offense and i don't mean to offend or insult these shows but they are pathetic?. its very irritating it makes me want to cry cartoon network used to be vicious about 3,4,5 years ago but now its gotten worse. i still love it and all of its old shows like boomerang too i want a channel like that but not that old about 5 years ago i miss those things dearly please hear me and try to make an effort to change. my number is 202-423-9487 (cell) or 202-545-8885 (home) any one who agrees with me please call and we can try to work things out.

Thank You, Monet Graves

As someone stated earlier, it can be disturbing in a way at times, but the episodes are always entertaining, clever and super-original. I haven't yet seen a single boring episode.

I love this show. I recommend it to anyone. Little kids might find a few episodes disturbing, but I think they'd like the show anyway. Adults will enjoy this show too.

Oh, and the music is great! I was watching an episode a few hours ago, and the music was worthy of any good horror movie. Thumbs up for whoever made the music. ;)

I give it 5 stars, definately!

This is a perfect example of a show that was part of my childhood. I loved this show and I still have a soft spot for it now. The animation is excellent quite colourful and sophisticated, the music is great and memorable, the story lines are fun and engaging and the characters are endearing. Who cannot love Courage, if you thought Scooby Doo was cowardly, Courage is even more so. Eustace and Muriel are great supporting characters, and are very funny at times. This was one of my favourite shows on Cartoon Network along with Dexter's Laboratory.

Overall, I love this show. It is just creative and funny, and holds a certain nostalgic value. 10/10 Bethany Cox

I love Courage the Cowardly Dog, I have loved it ever since I was a kid, and I still love it to this day. Why? Because it is the perfect blend of humor and horror.

This show is ridicuously funny, there are several times an episode where I can't help but laugh. The plots are creative and ridiculous. Eustace and Muriel provide most of the laughs, I know this may sound mean but I think Muriel being fat adds a lot to her humor. Courage can sometimes get a laugh, but the computer in the attic is better.

Now for horror, oh God, this show is traumatizing. There are several episodes that scared me as a kid and still creep me out to this day. Freaky Fred was scary because that could actually happen. The puppet man was disturbing. But the one everyone remembers is King Ramses, if you watch that episode you will probably scream.

And the show is also dramatic, the last episode shows what happened to Courage's parents and I actually cried. And the other half of that episode, Pefect, was also sad. This is a great show, that still hold up really well today.

Remember when cartoon network used to be all cartoons? Yeah, me too, and it was awesome. This show is one of the best cartoons ever made. The show was hilarious, well thought out, the jokes would make you burst out in laughter. The way courage described things in a charades-like manner was great. How courage had a minimal amount of dialogue made him a great character as well. Not to mention how he would pull off one the the funniest horror-ish screams, with the giant holes in his mouth, the overall increase in size of the mouth, and the noise as well. I'll admit, there were a few drab episodes but that is only a small percentage of the overall show. If anything, it is way, and I mean WAY better than the complete trash cartoon network has now.

I look back on Courage the Cowardly Dog and it's hard to question its uniqueness and boldness. In terms of content and presentation some shows simply have no equal and "Courage" is one of them. Horror comedy per se is a slightly tricky genre; it can be trickier still when catered primarily to a juvenile audience. But all this didn't stifle its creators as they stealthily ventured into thematic territories few of their contemporaries would dare, intermixing horror with comedy, comedy with horror, and every once in a while producing something that's nerve-jangling horror by any standard.

The opening intro sums up the premise quite well so I needn't go too much into the details. Courage is a timid, petrified canine who finds a home in the middle of Nowhere when he's adopted by Muriel to the dismay of her grouchy farmer-husband, Eustace. What follows is a chain of horrifying misadventures as Nowhere is anything but an ordinary town: it's a stygian barren land. Fortitude isn't the absence of fear but taking action despite its presence and Courage demonstrates that time and again in every episode by coming to the rescue of his new owners (even though Eustace abhors him).

Eustace's bumbling personality does allow for moments of comic relief but be warned, this is still a dark, dark show. Infidelity, prostitution, exorcisms, satanic curses etc. hardly qualify as the kind of stuff you'd expect to notice in children's television programming but it's all there -- well disguised, covert, hidden behind opaque curtains but still there. The effective technique of integrating CGI with traditional animation adds considerably to the show's dreamlike, disorientating aura. You, the viewer, become one with CtCD's supernatural landscape which makes for an impossibly engaging viewing experience. The soundtrack does a wonderful job augmenting the tonal sensibility of the story, mirroring the characters' momentary thoughts, (panic, peace, disbelief, awe, horror) and transplanting energy to the ambient scenery. The soundtracks of the episodes "The Great Fusilli", "King Ramses' Curse", and "Windmill Vandals" sound like the sort of music devotees would play while performing macabre rituals before the devil himself. Perhaps the technical adroitness and the mature subtext are the reasons John Dilworth's magnum opus still lingers in my memory deep into adulthood when so many other cartoons have faded into oblivion or simply don't hold up.

On a concluding note, I'd say Courage the Cowardly Dog is a timeless gem. Instructive but never overbearing; chilling but always heart-warming. :)

I think the first season was the best of this show. It starts of with the forceful "A Night at the Katz Motel" and later with masterful creepiness in "Heads of Beef", "The Demon in the Mattress" and "King Ramses' Curse.

There are many other great episodes, but the ones listed above are the ones with the greatest impact on me.

The disturbing aspect of the show is both the macabre plots and an interesting use of both slapstick animation and frequent use of contrasting CG animated objects/characters.

The soundtrack by Andy Ezrin and Jody Gray provides another dimension to the individual episodes. The music is essential to the horror genre, and this time the duo hit bulls-eye with their score.

I can not rate the show lower than 10/10 because in spite of seeming surrealistic and weird, the show took up real life issues here and there which added to the disturbing nature I loved. It is still more than worth watching to this day if you like TV-series with a generally weird nature and inventive villains.

During this time period cartoon network had many television shows that were more for kids, but adults could enjoy them too. These days the most original programming comes on during adult swim and most of those shows are not for the entire family. This show was a rather interesting one in the group a dog along with his two owners (granted the old man did not really care for the dog at all) living in what is essentially the middle of nowhere keep encountering many scary situations from the supernatural to the just plain insane. The dog usually has to get these two out of trouble (though his main concern is the old lady). This despite the fact he is a rather cowardly dog as the title implies. The show has its good and bad episodes, some of them being really interesting as they remind me of the old Ghostbusters cartoon. However, the dog gets annoying at times with his cowardice and the old woman getting into all types of trouble gets old too. However, the old man is rather funny in his non caring for the dog and sometimes for his wife. In the end a good show with some good horror elements, but at times Courage's cowardice gets to be a bit to much.

I know a lot of people love this show. But then I decided to watch an episode of it and I thought it was just horrible (I'm so sorry to all the fans reading that). I can't believe this was on Cartoon Network and aimed towards children. It is painfully scary for a kid's show--full of monsters, yet getting away with a TV-Y7 rating. I wouldn't recommend ever watching this show, but there's one episode I do like, "Mission to the Sun." It's probably the least scary of the other ones that aired. Also, I never did see the series finale, "Perfect," but I read somewhere that it was one of the worst, so I wouldn't watch it. I would have voted 1 but I gave it a 3 because of the one episode I liked.

Oh, man, this show rocks!!! Who could forget the crazy antics of Courage, and how he'd always scream in a different way each time (i.e. his guts fly apart, his eyes grow, he's cut in half) They would have like a different villian for every episode, and there were all kinds of crazy things like snowmen, the Sandman, Eustace as a pickle pirate(!) and such. I must say even Eustace has become likeable to me! He does show redeeming qualities in a few episodes ("Serphent Of Evil River", "The Mask"). I've liked some episodes so much I've even written down stories of them!

And Dootuss...If Scooby Doo is scarier than Courage, how come Scooby Doo is BRIBED into doing his bravery (by getting scooby snacks) and Courage does it because he loves his owners?! He's a LOT braver than Scooby-Doo! I also doubt SD could handle a giant fungus foot, or a little mind-controlling alien, or a crazed, emotionally disturbed goat.

Pure genius! I must say, when Arthur Anderson had to voice Eustace and Lionel Wilson quit, Eustace really lost his pizazz. But that doesn't stop me from liking everything else about the series!! My favorite episodes are "Human Habitrail" "Mission To The Sun" "King Ramses' Curse" "The Transplant" "The Tower Of Dr. Zhalost" "Mondo Magic" "Dome Of Doom" "Farmer-Hunter Farmer-Hunted", the list goes on! I rank this with "Pokemon" as one of my favorite cartoons!

Lint Lady: It's my lint!

Perfect animation! Perfect music! I could go on for days...

I've loved it since I first saw it - and to this day worship it!

Anyone who doesn't like it Seriously (I really mean it) should consider seeing someone about their sense of humor.

Greatest show on Earth!!!

It just amazes me in about every aspect (and I'm not easily amazed).

It's one of those classics like my No.1 Favorite - "Freakazoid"

Worship The Classics Of CartoonNetwork!!!

Completion line 1... Completion line 2... Completion line 3... Completion line 4... I don't really like this 10 line minimum...

Courage is one of the best toons ever! I don't really good speak english, but please - look here. Characters are super! Courage looking very good, Eustace too. I like Muriel, Pig, Little Girl, Fussili... He have great voices - especially Courage (Marty Grabstein is best voice) "Something smells fishy..." is fun. Everything what Eustace say is very fun, Courage is Super-Funny! Music is great (Courage in big stinkin city, hothead, 1000 years of courage, great fussili) Animation and all things are perfect. Why John Dilworth have not Oscar for "Chicken from outer Space?" I see this episode with my cousin 20 times. Best episodes: Great Fussili, Night at Katz Motel, Courage in big stinkin city, 1000 years of Courage. The House, the Doctor - every elements perfect!!! Lukas the Hawk from Poland

my favorite cartoon network show is courage the cowardly dog, it is about courage, a puppy who lives with his owners Muriel and Eustace Bash in the middle of nowhere i am a fan of dark humor and this show is great, i could watch it day and night

Even though a lot of weird stuff happens in this show it is never pointless and always has a meaning

The characters are very likable, even Eustace, who is meant to be a jerk and most knowing for saying: "Stupid Dog, you make me look bad, OOOGAH BOOGA BOOGA"

It is very sad that this show only lasted for four seasons

started watching this show on CN us and the pilot episode made me and my brother laugh like crazy, Courage keeps doing he's dose best by saving his family. I have no idea why I stopped watching this show at episode are at 3 or 4. I usually find youtube searches watched any episode on my laptop but now I got interested in animes like, Samurai 7, Ergo Proxy, Lupin the III, Tenijo Tenge and records of a lodoss. the show presents a love traingle. Muriel loves Courage and Eutace loves Muriel which makes Courage hate Eutace since he shows off to everybody in the show. This show is great for everyone and everyone should like it.

This is my favorite childhood cartoon,its about a purple dog named courage who must regularly defend his owners from monsters,criminals,ghost,curses etc.this cartoon has a spooky atmosphere thats what i really liked about it his owners names are Muriel and Eustace bagge.Muriel is a plump elderly Scottish lady very kindhearted and slightly stupid.Eustace is a grumpy,anti social,selfish,uncaring elderly man who really hates courage always calling him a stupid dog although courage saves him,but in a lot of episodes something bad always happens to Eustace at the end. the characters in this show get stranger each episode. i wouldn't recommend this cartoon for kids under 11 years old. i wish this cartoon didn't end so early.

Courage the Cowardly Dog is a classic cartoon. The animation is great, it is very funny, and it has a very strong atmosphere. The story is about a dog named Courage who has to save his owners from supernatural events pretty much everyday. Just from the premise it sounds cool, but there is so much more. This really is one of Cartoon Networks finest shows. One the best things about it is its use of music. It adds so much atmosphere to the already very atmospheric moment. Just watch one episode. You'll understand that the music is really good stuff. The jokes are very funny. You have no soul if you don't smile even once watching an episode. The show is also well animated. Courage the Cowardly Dog is a great show.

I guess I have an excuse to watch cartoons like "Courage", as I have kids...at least that's what I tell myself. Years ago, I used to watch this show with my girls but recently my youngest said she wanted to see the DVDs of Season One (the only one now available for Region 1), so we sat down to watch them together.

My first reaction was to laugh--after all, Eustace (Courage's owner) was hilariously mean. I am sure some parents would be turned off by him since he is cruel, greedy and just plain nasty--but I liked this about the show. I also loved the crazy animation and ridiculously bizarre characters. However, after watching all the episodes, I also noticed that the show was essentially the same each and every time (with very, very few exceptions). Courage readily recognizes some supernatural danger and his idiot owners are oblivious. After a few shows, I just began to get a bit bored--and don't really mind that there is only one season available. On the other hand, my 16 year-old adored walking down memory lane and sure would like to see more--and she thinks kids will look past this sameness.
