When I was 8 years old, Cartoon Network started to air new episodes of every original show like Dexter's Laboratory, The Powerpuff Girls & Samurai Jack but three Cartoon Network original shows never continue with new episodes nor renew for another season as of November 3, 2003 Monday at 6 pm PHT.
1. Courage the Cowardly Dog
I first watched him on The What a Cartoon! Show before August 22, 1999 Sunday at 8 am PHT. Later, he would get his own show after 1999. The plot evolves a dog named Courage who is rescued by Muriel who lives in the middle of Nowhere with is husband, Eustace Bagge. But when creepy stuff happens in Nowhere, it's up to Courage to save his new home. Whenever Courage sees something scary, he screams a lot which it irritates me in my opinion. Many people said that this is the scariest Cartoon Network original show to date. I refuse watch that show in the mid 2000's on TV after school.
2. Sheep in the Big City
I sadly didn't watch the pilot episode from 2000, but I watched the entire show on TV. The show was the last original show to premiere on Cartoon Network in my country months before it becomes a 24 hour channel in 2001. The shows evolves a sheep named well, Sheep, who leaves the farm & moves to a new life in the big city. Unfortunately, the Secret Military Organization, commanded by General
Specific, wants to use Sheep in its new sheep-powered ray gun (with a
sheep-shaped hole in it). So now Sheep is on the lam(b) from General
Specific, who is assisted by sidekick Private Public, the Angry
Scientist (who in the show, the characters sometimes wrongly refer to as
the Mad Scientist), a bunch of other military types, and, last but not
least, by the Plot Device. I remember that show as a kid because the animation reminds me of Sesame Street which one of the animated segments were done by the show's creator, Mo Willems. Unlike Courage the Cowardly Dog, I still watched that show in the mid 2000's on TV after school.
3. Grim & Evil
First of all, I watched both pilots. The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy "Meet The Reaper" & Evil Con Carne. Second, I watched Grim & Evil & it watch great, I think. Billy & Mandy is a segment about two neighborhood kids who force the Grim Reaper to be their best
friend forever after defeating the Messenger of Death in a game of Limbo, while Evil Con Carne is segment about the disembodied brain of an evil genius who wants to take over the world that was transplanted into a moronic circus bear. One episode that I like about the show is Trouble With Skarrina & I recommend it. Later, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy becomes a show of its' own which I remember watching it & Evil Con Carne becomes a show of its' own which I didn't watching on Cartoon Network in my country because 1. The show is short-lived & 2. I watched The All New Popeye Show & other American cartoons before November 12, 1989 Sunday on Cartoon Network. Well, I watched reruns of Grim & Evil after November 3, 2003 Monday at 6 pm PHT after school on TV.
Cartoon Network fans wish that they want bring the shows back with new
episodes but it's too late now except for Courage the Cowardly Dog. I'll never forget these shows on Cartoon
Network. Next year however, Warner Home Video would release those three
shows on DVD in a NTSC format with the exceptions of the first 2 seasons of Courage the Cowardly Dog. I just want to relive my childhood memories back I should avoid watching current preschool shows again from 2002 to today.
