Just go on TV Tropes and look up Nightmare Fuel, under Western Animation this show has its own page. Seriously, with the level of scary that went down in this show, people still wonder how on earth this series ran for so long without at least getting a threat to be pulled off the air (my guess is that the censors just really liked it, but whatever). It's fondly remembered by even casual fans for its clever writing, many a hiliarious scene, and, oh yeah, its OFF-THE-CHARTS FREAKY FACTOR! This show is considered something of a classic.
It's up to Courage to save his new home!" To quote the opening narration "freaky stuff happens in Nowhere. The basic premise revolved around the titular cowardly dog, Courage, who lived with his two owners - the lovable old granny, Muriel Bagge, and her greedy bastard of a husband, Eustace - who live in the Middle of Nowhere (literally they live in Nowhere, Kansas). For you youngin's out there who aren't in the know, Courage the Cowardly Dog was a Cartoon Network show that ran from 1999 to 2002, with a total of four seasons and fifty-two episodes. Those of you who grew up in the "Golden Age of Cartoons" know what I'm talking about. One show that, on certain parts on the internet, the very title is synonymus with "fear". But, amongst all this frightening stuffs, there is one show that stands out from all the others. We've all seen plenty of these in our lives - Are You Afriad of the Dark?, several Disney movies, and even a few episodes of Care Bears and My Little Pony, to name only a few off the top of my head.
That being said, I'd be lying if I said there wasn't anything out there that was meant to scare, but still be intended for young audiences. But, sadly, someone goofed, and what was meant to be amusing turned into something ready to crawl into our young minds and haunt us well into adulthood. The vast majority of stuff that ends up being Nightmare Fuel was supposed to be entertaining. Nightmare Fuel is that magic element in media that scared the bejeebus out of you as a child, but was never meant to. Most of it wasn't intentional. For those of you out there who are not complete hermits and haven't wasted what probably amounts to months of your life on TV Tropes, I'll explain. If there's one thing in this world that always manages to make me smile, it's a little good, old-fashioned Nightmare Fuel.
