Top 10 Best Courage the Cowardly Dog Episodes
Courage the Cowardly Dog is a unique 1999 animated television series about an anthropomorphic dog named Courage who, despite his fearful nature, bravely defends his owners - an elderly farming couple - from various paranormal villains and oddball menaces that seem to gravitate toward their quaint home in the middle of Nowhere.You might remember episodes that were hilariously funny, others that had a wickedly dark tone, or those with that creative spark and interesting plots that kept us glued to our screens. We all have those episodes that resonate with us, making us feel like Courage, reflecting on beauty and indulging in a bit of tutti frutti! And let's not forget those episodes that were perfectly made, featuring wonderful action and excellent music, setting the mood for our fearless - or rather, very fearful - hero's adventures.
Nice one. It gave me nightmares for a very long time when I was 6-7 years old. This was plain terrifying until I was like 12. When I was 12, I realized it wasn't as scary because it had terrible computer-generated images.
This was a perfect combination of horror and comedy. King Ramses was scary, the story was good, and it wasn't as mean-spirited as other episodes with Eustace. Freaky Fred was like that, too.
It wasn't that scary. Though, I'll give credit. The music and visuals make for a dramatic and intense atmosphere.
A great origin story with intricate artwork.
A great backstory episode for Courage. Well done, Courage, well done.
To be honest, the only episode that sticks out in my memory is the one with Katz's theme. The surreal nature of the plot, along with the vibe and imagery Bunny's apartment gives off, was bittersweet. I find myself going back and rewatching this episode time and again.
This episode was the best because it was the darkest, most realistic episode in the entire series. I felt sorry for Kitty. I think we all would feel the same way if we ever lost our best friend like that.
This show was never afraid to tackle topics like the ones shown in this episode, and it always handled them very respectfully. This is hands down my personal favorite of the series.
One of my favorite Courage episodes. The music and the plot of the mother squid going through so much to make sure her babies hatch and continue to make stars after she's gone is way too emotional. There was not a bad moment in this episode, and that intro made me tear up.
Good episode. Quite touching. I like how the monster of the week wasn't bad, just in need of her kids.
Cried like a newborn baby from the feels this episode gave me. That's all.
This is without a doubt the best parody of The Exorcist I've ever seen. By far, the best episode.
The blue guy was weird, but he helped the episode. The sad CGI trumpet creature shows you aren't perfect. By the end of the episode, Courage learns from a fish that it's okay not to be perfect.
The teacher was good too. She helped Courage realize what the fish said. She's indeed a good villain, presenting us with freaky and saddening stuff.
Over the course of the series, Courage gets over Eustace putting him down. At the very end, we hear Courage laughing at the audience and the fish giving a thumbs up. The series ends (unless The Fog of Courage counts) on a happy note with Courage mastering one of his biggest insecurities.
Awesome dark tone, excellent music, interesting plot, creative villain, wonderful action, a good resolution, and absolutely hilarious the whole way. This episode is just perfectly made.
This is easily my favorite, along with Courage in the Big Stinkin' City and Demon in the Mattress. It's creepy, engaging, and great for starters.
This episode is so freaky. Think about it: a sea demon that eats men. Scary, huh?
The Newcomers
The scariest episode ever. Eustace, Muriel, and Courage are haunted by the spirit of the harvest moon, a nightmarish, live-action, black-and-white, disembodied head that commands the family to leave the farm. It gave us all nightmares as kids.
The singing children part was creepy.
The scene with the Hunchback telling Eustace he is bald was the best roast I've seen in a long time!
Teaches that beauty is on the inside more than the outside.
Although not among the scariest episodes, this is definitely a classic.
Probably the most terrifying episode. Another masterpiece by Bill Marsilii.
