HBO Max (which has changed its name back to HBO Max) has quietly pulled Courage the Cowardly Dog from its roster, leaving the show available to purchase as your only legal option to watch it. Basically, you gotta pay $1.99 an episode or around $24 per season.
As pointed out by IGN, you could purchase the show from services like Prime Video or Apple TV, but it’s of course not cheap, as purchasing all four seasons would be around $100, which is a far cry from when it only cost an HBO Max subscription. You can purchase it physically, but it’ll have to be a DVD, as opposed to a Blu-Ray, but it is only around $30 normally and currently it’s on sale for for only around $18, and this is the full series we’re talking.
Courage the Cowardly Dog is just one of the handful of classic cartoons that remained on the platform until this year, joining the likes of Ed, Edd, n Eddy, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, and The Powerpuff Girls. This actually leaves no Cartoon Network classics outside of Adventure Time, following a slurry of CN shows leaving the service, but beyond that, we also had classic Looney Tunes shorts pulled, and CN’s own website relegated to just a redirect encouraging people subscribe to HBO Max for “your favorite Cartoon Network shows.”
