The Cowardly Dog Named Courage
Seeing as all of my earlier posts have been bashing on modern entertainment, I decided it was time I finally complimented it. I love the show Courage the Cowardly Dog, hence the profile picture. There are no neutral feelings about that show, you either love it or hate it. I happen to love it. It's about an elderly couple living in an old farmhouse in the middle of nowhere with a little pink dog named Courage. In every episode something strange and absurd happens and it's up to Courage to protect the oblivious Muriel from the impending doom that always seems to follow her and her husband Eustace around. I think the reason that I love this show is because it has been on air since I was little and I used to watch it all the time. Also, it is just so ridiculous. I say ridiculous because it is a somewhat neutral word; some may think that it is ridiculous and pointless and makes no sense, and others will say that it's ridiculous and hilarious and excellent. Now i'm not saying that I love every episode, because I don't. Some tend to be disturbing and a little too scary for a show targeted at children. I know that some of the episodes used to terrify me as a child. The remaining episodes are funny. Again, there is no in-between. I enjoy the humorous episodes more, obviously. Needless to say I am glad that Cartoon Network decided to play this show on TV again.
