    One of the Best Animation Shows On Cartoon Network

    Call me a softie but I just love Courage! His weekly exploits as he saves his owners from certain doom are just wonderful. The animation is terrific and the plots are funny and well written.

    Anyone who dislikes this show has no sense of humor.

    Oh, and if Johnny has five apples and Davey has four apples, why don't they just shut up and eat?

    Stupid dog!

    Irony, simpleness, and unexpectedness makes this a decent show.

    From battling ancient spirits to saving Muriel from an opera-singing sea serpent, Courage delivers an unexpected bit of fun for kids and kids at heart. Sometimes the simple show (which varies little as far as structure goes) delivers social commentary (where else do we see a computer as quick to judge as the Baggs's?) and simple messages for those who need to be reminded (and those who don't)... Personally, I like Courage in the time when so many "Cartoon Cartoons" are weaker or simply less fun to watch. Whatever happened to Sheep in the Big City? Why take that off and show Time Squad instead? At least Courage can speak to different ages and show people that sometimes it's not how you feel that matters but what you will do to save those you love...

    Stupid dog. You make me look bad.

    Courage the Cowardly Dog is an excellent show. It has great animation, funny characters and creative stories. That's something you can't really say about recent Cartoon Network originals (example: Ed, Edd and Eddy). It's pretty much a super natural show, with odd and strange things going on each episode (alien ducks, big foot, crazy barber, etc). Overall, it's a great show.

    The best Cartoon Network show!

    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!

    I think that courage cowardly dog should be continued

    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

    • Trivia
      Courage's dialogue decreased after the first season. This is because the creators at Cartoon Network thought Courage "talked too much" and wanted his dialogue cut short.
    • Goofs
      Throughout the series, the closet under the staircase in the living room appears and disappears in some episodes.
    • Quotes

      Muriel: Courage, you know I can't hear without my glasses...

    • Crazy credits
      The episode end title evolved with each season:
      • The first season has Courage holding up a scribbled end title card
      • the second and third seasons have an ornate sculpture of a bowing Courage
      • and the final season has a CGI Courage taking a bow.
