Courage the Cowardly Dog

[KCC]

I wanted to start this topic for Courage since it's such an awesome show, and it's a shame that it's cancelled. Anyways, here's a link if you want to read up on Courage:

Courage Info

Courage is such a good dog. Kinda feel bad for him though he is always trying to be protective but Eustis is such a jerk to him. Even after Courage saves Muriel.

[KCC]

Yeah, but Eustace is a jerk to everyone. I really loved watching Courage myself, and I especially like it when you get to find out about his past and what happened to his parents. That ep and the "Perfect" one were SO cute.

[mercury]

Its interesting how at times Courage just barks or moans but other times he actually speaks. I haven't figured out yet if they can hear when he speaks or if only the audience can him that.


I also like his wise cracking computer XD. How nice would that be for a paper just type in the question and the computer talks back to you.

[KCC]

Yeah, that comp is pretty funny, although it would suck having to deal with its attitude all the time.

For Courage talking/barking, on Wikipedia they explain that he talks to the audience and non-human characters (usually), but when he talks to Eustace and Muriel, he makes the barking and growling sounds.

[mercury]

That makes sense. It is just hard to tell with him. Stuie on Family Guy is the same way. In terms of who really understands what they are saying. (With Stuie it seems only Brian)

[KCC]

I think with Stewie it kind of varies; sometimes even Chris and Meg can understand him. If you want to talk about Family Guy, I do have a thread here in the Misc non-anime section where we can talk about the show.

Anyhow, back on topic for Courage... what is/are your favourite ep(s)??

[mercury]

k. I just brought Stu up as a comparison point .

I really can't think of a fav. ep. The one where Eustus turns into a giant kangaroo monster was pretty good. He stold Murial and went world hopping with her XD. I don't think that is what she ment if she ever asked to see the world.

[KCC]

Lol, that one was kinda funny. It's been a while since I've seen the ep, though, so a lot of the details are pretty foggy. One of my fave eps is called "The Hunchback of Nowhere", the one with that hunchback guy makes friends with Courage. That ep is awesome. I also like "Human Habitrail"; the one where you keep hearing "It's Doc Gerbil's World" being sung in the b/g when Courage is trying to find Eustace and Muriel.

[mercury]

A night or so ago I was watching the ep with the happy beats and the doctor with the sad bombs.
Come here rat give me a hug. XD

Courage really isn't that cowardly of a dog. He may get scared but that doesn't keep him away from saving Murial.

[KCC]

Ah, "The Tower of Dr Zalost". That's a good one, especially at the end when the tower's being destroyed and you hear that awesome music with no other audio, like in "Human Habitrail". But that one with Dr Zalost was funny when Courage kept eating the plums and cream. He sure does love those plums.

[mercury]

Sad sad with all the moving I haven't gotten to see Courage lately. Good thing in this case there are no more new eps. That way I can keep catching the reruns. Or are there??

[KCC]

Well, there's a whole season of unaired eps... don't know when those will get aired, though. *shrugs* But cartoonnetwork.com has some eps online for you to watch if you have the time.

[mercury]

I forgot cartoon network had a few eps online on their own site. Thanxs I will check them out. Unaired eps are always fun gives diehard fans something to look forward too.

[KCC]

Yep, definitely. *nods* Oh, have you seen the eps "Remembrance of Courage" or something like that, and then "Perfect"?? Those are the last eps of the last season... season 5, I think.
