A constant feature of the local Cartoon Network, Courage The Cowardly Dog has been entertaining us with his antics for quite some time. "Abandoned as a pup, he was found by Muriel who lives in the middle of nowhere with her husband Eustace Bagge, but a lot of creepy stuff happens in the middle of nowhere and its up to Courage to save his new home."
What sets Courage apart from the usual cartoon is the occasional black humour, subtle puns, very different story lines and lots of great antics from Courage and the gang. It seems as if there are 104 episodes (of which 2 are music videos) and it is even rumoured that there is a Courage movie (no confirmation on that either). Two episodes of note are definitely "Rememberance of Courage Past" where we see Courage's parents and how Muriel finds him, and "Ball of Revenge" where we see Courage pitted against the Eustace, The Queen of the Black Puddle, The Weremole, Katz, the Clutching Foot and Le Quack.
I haven't seen Courage on TV for quite awhile now, but I take you a bet that he is somewhere out there "doing it for love".
