50 free Courage the Cowardly Dog trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Courage the Cowardly Dog trivia quiz covers the whole run of John R. Dilworth's Cartoon Network series, from the Oscar-nominated 1996 short The Chicken from Outer Space through all four seasons that aired between 1999 and 2002, plus the 2014 CGI short and the 2021 Scooby-Doo crossover. It is built for anyone who grew up with a pink dog screaming his way through the middle of Nowhere, Kansas. Expect questions on Muriel and Eustace Bagge, the farmhouse's sarcastic computer, Dr. Vindaloo, Shirley the Medium, Katz, Le Quack, King Ramses and his slab, the Great Fusilli, Freaky Fred, Dr. Zalost's tower and the finale that finally revealed what happened to Courage's parents. Roughly a third of the questions are easy for casual fans, a third need a good memory for specific episodes and voice actors, and the rest reward the completists who know air dates, awards and behind-the-scenes details. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the series, its episode list and the crossover film before publishing, and each question carries the sentence that establishes it.
