Trivia:

John Dilworth finally agreed to do a Courage series, and Cartoon Network originally wanted him to produce it from their Hanna-Barbera studio in L.A.. But Dilworth didn't want to leave his company Stretch Films in New York, so CN agreed to let him do the series from Stretch Films.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When viewing the house from the outside, you see three floors, with the attic as the third floor. When inside, the attic is on the same floor as the bedrooms, which is the second floor.

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.
