Courage the Cowardly Dog (1999–2002)
10/10
Disturbing at times, but that is what makes it great.

I think the first season was the best of this show. It starts of with the forceful "A Night at the Katz Motel" and later with masterful creepiness in "Heads of Beef", "The Demon in the Mattress" and "King Ramses' Curse.

There are many other great episodes, but the ones listed above are the ones with the greatest impact on me.

The disturbing aspect of the show is both the macabre plots and an interesting use of both slapstick animation and frequent use of contrasting CG animated objects/characters.

The soundtrack by Andy Ezrin and Jody Gray provides another dimension to the individual episodes. The music is essential to the horror genre, and this time the duo hit bulls-eye with their score.

I can not rate the show lower than 10/10 because in spite of seeming surrealistic and weird, the show took up real life issues here and there which added to the disturbing nature I loved. It is still more than worth watching to this day if you like TV-series with a generally weird nature and inventive villains.
