Cartoons eh? Everyone has their own favorite child hood cartoon out there, from hello kitties to some hot virtual animated anime girl with big breast. HAHA! Now I am going to talk about a cartoon called "Courage the cowardly dog". What can I say about this show that hasn't already been said? This cartoon has always been my favorite cartoon show since I were still young. I enjoyed it because this cartoon might be disturbing yet crazy funny, some sort of like animal abuse but mehhh, who cares? I am just having a laugh, not really abusing animals. This cartoon is very unique but it never really allowed to run anymore. Let us onto the reviews, okay?

The characters and basic premise of the Courage the cowardly dogs show involves a dog named courage lives in a middle of Nowhere (the area name), Muriel Bagge and Eustace Bagge. They were both farmers, but creepy stuff happens in Nowhere, and it's up to Courage to
save his new home! The opening to the show is a black and white news
report saying just that.
Some fan made art, Courage the dog on the left, monsters in the series on the right, including Eustace Bagge!
Each episode typically
involves some random monster such as King Ramses or an evil cat named
Katz trying to kill Courage and his family. Courage then must gather his
courage and save the family he loves so much. Some episodes are very
psychological in nature such as "Perfect" in which a very prude stick up
her ass teacher appears and tries to teach Courage how to be 100%
perfect. This episode could all be interpeted as a hallucination, or is
it? A more comedic episode "The Gods Must Be Goosey" involves a goose
who happens to be a God try and seduce Muriel. The Goose reminds me of
Zeus.
Courage the dog, being shaved!
The real draw here wasn't just the
stories, but the characters themselves. You had that purple little dog
Courage. You had Muriel. You had Eustace who lived for no more reason
than to torture Courage, but you had other characters such as the arch-nemesis Katz who wanted to feed the family to his spiders, you had
Courage's talking, sarcastic computer, and you had the evil Doc Gerbil.
The animation style that Courage utilized was uniqe. It was very
abstract and surreal, using loads of colors and blending them together.
The music was also devishley creepy. One episode took place in a
junkyard, barley any dialogue with the nutcracker theme playing
throughout as Courage fought off evil rats.
Courage the dog showing off his body, funny moments!
The
comedy throughout the show was very dark and disturbing, and there were
times when the show borderline what may have been acceptable on TV,
but hey I'm glad it did.
Though the show
sustains a cult following it was canceled without much reason, and it's a
shame. Cartoon Network still shows reruns, but it's not the same.
Please bring back Courage, please.

Courage trademark funny moments screaming out loud!
