I loved 'Mega Muriel the Magnificent' episode. It was so personal between courage and the computer, but also super wholesome. Courage went with him everywhere to make sure he (or Muriel's body) doesn't get injured. The ending was wholesome too when courage was tasked to save him from getting zapped, and the whole 'They lived happily ever after' in the end. There was also a comedic touch of Eustace being bodiless for the whole episode, and just watching TV with his head alone AHAHA

I think someone mentioned about that knowing the show, they wouldn't be surprised if courage Doug it out of a half buried crate labeled classified.
