Trivia

Series creator John Dilworth placed major emphasis on audio effects: he wanted to use unconventional fresh music/sounds, in contrast to most shows developing stock material to use throughout their run. Dilworth wished to put any music/sound into the episode that emphasized the situation, whether it was tense, exciting or especially funny.

Goofs

User Reviews

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.
