Courage the Cowardly Dog (1999) S01 (1080p AIUS DVDRip x265 10bit AC3 2 0 - Frys) [TAoE]

The things he does for love! Welcome to the middle of Nowhere, Kansas. Population: one kind old lady, one crabby old man, one timid dog and all sorts of creepy creatures, scary monsters and crazed villains! It's a living nightmare for poor Courage, who faces these unthinkable dangers with his body shaking and his tail between his legs. But Courage loves his sweet Muriel and grumpy Eustace, so he digs deep to find the strength to save his beloved family from deadly weremoles, dark shadows and other sinister elements that pop up all over this terrifying town. With clever nods to classic horror films, this action-packed animated series keeps laughs and scares coming as Courage outwits evil with his singular brand of bravery.

Genre: Adventure, Children, Horror
Stars: Marty Grabstein, Arthur Anderson, Lionel Wilson, Simon Prebble, Thea White

The DVDs for Season 1 were very rough. They were riddled with extreme rainbowing and dot crawl. I tried to remediate those issues while keeping while keeping as much detail as I could. Hopefully Season 2 through 4 will come soon.
