Courage the Cowardly Dog (Boomerang, Cartoon Network)

I GREW UP WITH THIS, IT NEVER SCARED ME EVEN WHEN I WAS LIKE, 2 THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE SHOW AND VERY POSITIVE, IT SHOULD BE RATED TV-Y OR TV-G

I personally adore this show and still watch it whenever its on. In some shows it does give out a good message like one show Eustace the grumpy farmer was cursed because he was mean and the curse was lifted when he was nice to a sad little boy and Eustace is mean almost all the time and hes always getting bad things happening to him at the end and doesn't that send a good message?That mean people should get whats coming to them. Also i like how courage really loves his owner and risks his life greatly for her and for Eustace,who treats Courage badly, and the owner Muriel is one of the nicest ladies I've ever seen in a cartoon .This show is pretty violent but the violence is way too unrealistic to be compared to possible violence in real life. Yes, this show has its pretty scary and disturbing moments the one episode of King Ramese and a scene from "Your not perfect" will live with me for a while xD. Also some episodes really touched me like "The Last of the Starmakers" thats theme seems to be how precious life is. I would definitly let my younger brother watch this show if hes not too creeped out. I think the type of violence this uses is pretty similar to older cartoons some parents probably grew up with those type of shows too.Many say this show as a child scared them to death but I know perfectly well thats never stopped them from watching it.

Honestly, I enjoyed the later episodes of this show. They came out with such good plots and stories that seem to touch your heart. The episode of the wishing tree just brings me to tears each time--Inspiring! Same with the episode with the ugly man who finds himself in the rain looking for a dry place to rest... Eustace treats him awfully because of his appearance, but Courage grows quite fond of him and they become good friends, they learn that even the best-looking of people can be ugly on the inside. In the show, Courage definitely shows problem-solving in most episodes, albeit the solutions may be somewhat simple, it leaves you waiting to find out what's going to happen next. The older episodes are considered weird, but most artists have creative expressions that are out of the ordinary (Tim Burton) and art is about expression and taking risks. Not everybody may like it, but I'm sure it's the feeling the writers were aiming for. I wouldn't reccommend it to young audiences, but few episodes could be safe to the little ones--Please absolutely stay away from the haunted mattress, quilting club or the fungal toe episodes -- the images could frighten children under 14.

Weird and dumb. Whoever created this is/was a pretty weird.

Having a 16 year old daughter who is still TERRIFIED of spiders from the "A Night at the Katz Motel" episode kind of sums up this "children's" cartoon! My first thought is how did they get away with showing this at the supper hour?! Makes 'South Park' seem absolutely wholesome! Not for anyone!

this show even though its intended for kids kinda creeps me out it does have some gross stuff im surprised it wasnt trated tv pg but it was an okay show

i like it but the one episode when that creepy blue thing said "your not perfect" gave me the creeps!

Seriously people. I have always liked this show when i was small. I think the messages it sends are nice. Eustace is mean to courage but there is no instance i can recall that courage tried to get revenge. He loves his little family and saves them despite any danger to himself. The violence can be a bit much but its just fake things that kids of an appropriate age can understand. Eustace was treated badly by his mother and his brother which may explain his attitude. Though at the end he always pays in some silly way. Muriel is by far a great caring person. She loves courage and despite eustaces treatment of her she tries to help him overcome challenges such as when hes sick in one episode.. Courage never scared me that much when i was younger and made me laugh. Even now i put it on after school to watch its charming and loving hero prevail over his fears to help those he cares about. No offense to some parents and the writers to these reviews but you need to realize kids have to face the world some day. Not everything is rainbows and unicorns who always show love and never become angry or violent in their lives.

I was kind of scared of this show when I was younger. There's a lot of violence (even though it's a cartoon) and Courage's owner's husband scared me because he was so mean. I guess some kids can handle it, though. I'm not scared of it anymore, but it seems weird.
