Courage the Cowardly Dog

Show Summary

Courage the Cowardly Dog was an abandoned dog and was found by his owner Muriel who lives in the middle of Nowhere, Kansas with her husband Eustace Bagge. Eustace is a failed farmer who farms no more. His most prized object is his old truck. He is usually watching his old black and white televison and is always asking for his meal. He is crazy about his red chair. Muriel loves to sit in her rocking chair watch her favorite show (not mentioned what it's called), cook, play her sitar, and enjoy talking with Courage. Eustace, on the other hand, dislikes Courage. He scares him with a mask. Courage is a dog almost afraid of everything and with the help of his computer he battles the villians and saves himself and his owners. They don't have any neighbors that live next door. Katz is the most common villian that is seen on the show, he thinks up wise traps to lure people into their doom. The bickering of Eustace, the old customs of Muriel, the action of the villians, and the humor of Courage make it a great show!moreless

    Every once in awhile there will be a show that takes Risks such as Invader Zim and Ren and Stimpy, but my all time Childhood Favorite Risk Taker would have to be Courage the Cowardly Dog. A Show that took many Risks such as Harsh Deaths, Decapitation, Disturbing Imagery, and even Female Cruelty! This Show had such Courage to take the Great Risks it did and Surprisingly still manages to stay on Cartoon Network! Not only is this Show Amazing with it's Characters, Disturbing Imagery and Episodes, but it is also amazing on how Original I think this piece of work is, It's just never been done before; A Frightened Dog having to save it's owners from Creatures that come out of nowhere, actually Courage and his Owners live in the Middle of Nowhere, so it kinda strangely makes sense! I always think to myself if there has been an original version of "Courage the Cowardly Dog" in Black & White made in the 20's or 30's; I don't know but the idea seems so fresh that it might have had an original made in the early 90's; But there isn't an Original and that is surprising cause almost everything in the show seems like it's from the 20's or 30's with the fact that they have a Truck that keeps Braking down, a Black & White . and a Wooden Cabin Home, but they do have a computer in the attic so that must mean they are not living in the 20's or 30's, but the 90's! Yeah, real shocking in my terms! 0_0 Anyway, The Show itself overall is Great and Enjoyable for everyone, All the Characters are likeable; Courage is cute, Muriel is a typical Old House Wife that has no fucking idea what is going on half of the time; and that is ridiculously funny! And Eustace OMG... He is Hysterical, Always calling for Dinner or wanting his paper, his Chair his Hat and his Breakfast. Eustace has got to be the funniest Elderly fictional Character of all time. So make sure if you haven't watched this show yet, then what are you waiting for go see it, It's a Fantastic piece of work; Guaranteed. :)

  • One of Cartoon Network's best. And one of the darkest cartoons ever.

    9.5

    In the late 90s came a lot of great shows on Cartoon Network. But one of the best (And one of the darkest, creepiest, and scariest cartoons ever) was without a doubt Courage the Cowardly Dog. Courage was a dog who in each episode protects his family from a whole slew of creatures. Like an evil, psychotic cat, a crazy, french duck, an alien chicken and many other creatures and people. This show was so good. It was by far one of the creepiest shows ever created.



    When the show came out I remember it scared the crap out of me. I'm 22 now, and characters like King Rameses, the Spirit of the Harvest Moon, and the violin girl from Schwick's episode still scare the crap out of me. But it was so addicting that I kept watching. Courage was such a dark show I'm surprised that they showed it on tv. One of the best parts of the show were definately Courage's reactions to the scary parts, even though in later episodes they got pretty gruesome, the vast majority of them were very funny. Courage is just so cute (Yes, I'm a guy). The computer was pretty funny too. One of the things that always threw me off about this show though, was Eustice. In almost every episode something happens to him, something that always seems to be irreversable. I think he even died in a few. Just how does he come back? Hmmmm.



    Finally. I know the show is called Courage The Cowardly Dog, but there's a contradiction with that name, which is also the message that this show is trying to tell. Courage is by no means a coward. Yeah his name is Courage, and he's obviously a scaredy ca - umm, dog. But he's definately no coward. He risks his life to save his family (even Eustice sometimes). He faces dangerous monsters, he's scared to do it, but he fights them to protect the ones he loves. That is the true meaning of "courage". That's also why Courage The Cowardly Dog is one of the best Cartoon Cartoons.moreless
