I know the Rainbow Bridge was around as early as the late '90s when we put down our dog Max in '98 .
Love the show, and watched it from way too young of an age. It ended when I was 7, but I continued to watch all of it in reruns. It honestly felt like the Ren and Stimpy for people in my age group. Genuinely horrifying and cruel at times, in ways that for sure gave me nightmares. All the kids I knew talked more about this show than they ever did about sponge bob. For a kid with extreme anxiety Courage meant so much to me, and I still feel warm when I think about him. It was super fun to hear you guys talk about this show being from an older generation than me. I totally get Henry’s hatred of Eustace as a horribly abusive character, but I would argue he about on the same level as Ren. Hope you guys come back to this series eventually, there is so much to mine from this gem of a show.
