Bah! Mere peons that served under the omnipotent and omnipresent "Dil" who's twisted evil products and devices sought to outfit all manner of misfits with the abilities of that found only in the deep recesses of our worst nightmares!
I loved the episode with the confused burglar. Do your dance, Uncle Twinkletoes! The kids nowadays don't know how shitty their cartoons are. Gone are the days of Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, Angry Beavers, Dexter's Lab, Johnny Bravo and Cow and Chicken. I suppose every generation feels the same way though. Your own generation's media will always feel superior.

Funny you mention that.. Just recently I was pondering the oddity of that being the only modern cartoon I've seen in a while that struck me as having some similiarities to the older, almost self-parodying stuff. That doctor is one of the more amusing characters I see in modern cartoons, and the rest of the cast seems to have their moments as well. Even odder since it's on the Disney Channel..
It's not quite as good as a lot of older stuff, but it's a cut above newer stuff, at least.
Pretty awesome image. Courage is an amazing cartoon, I love it, especially the episode with the dude with the cannonballs that made everyone sad. The monster that scared me the most was the white shining head in their basement, I think it was there because of the harvest. Such amazing and bizarre things happened in the program.
And it was so visually interesting. Not only where things in wonky proportions, but different textures and such were used. You see it now and then in SpongeBob, but that show is much more bright than most of Courage's world.
S'posed to be buffalo!

My friend tells me some of the Ren & Stimpy (or was it Simpsons?) guys are in on that show. The most baffling thing is that it takes the singalong and makes it funny while still being cringeworthy.

My goodness do I remember all of these...Best 30 minute blocks of my life.
The one that freaked me out the most was that one long episode with the walking Tower of Unhappiness (or whatever it was called). Everything in that episode had a dull, hopeless feeling, even after the "happy" ending. I think CN brought Courage back for a small block every now and then, and I'm sooo thankful for it! Brings back good memories :D
