| | Courage the Cowardly Dog (1999)Courage the Cowardly Dog centers on the exploits of Courage, a small fuchsia dog who is afraid of the most mundane things. However, his fear is usually warranted: Eustace, Muriel, and Courage are constantly attacked by or run into various monsters, aliens, curses, natural disasters, and other forms of evil Courage must face. In the series, when Courage wants to save his family, he sometimes faces off the villain in a game (instead of typical feats of strength, the methods by which he defeats villains is usually something mundane like dodgeball or a staring contest), convinces the villain to leave the life of crime, or tricks the villain. The opening of the show documents Courage's past: Abandoned as a puppy, Courage was living in a box until he was found by Muriel, who lives in the middle of Nowhere, Kansas with her husband Eustace. Eustace always resented Courage's presence in the home and continually attempts to scare the living daylights out of Courage by whipping out a giant green mask, screaming "Ooga! Booga! Booga!" Afterwards, Eustace laughs at Courage's expense, until Muriel comically bludgeons Eustace over the head with a rolling pin to which he replies "What did I do?"
