I remember watching Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse growing up in New Jersey. i first remember seeing them on Channel 7 in the morning before they moved to Channel 11. The episodes were usually titled "The Case of the..."

This has been on Pluto TV within the last year or so. I think Cool McCool was on the same channel.

I would guess their biggest claim to fame is Bob Kane gets a creator credit for them, as he also does with Batman.

The best part of Courageous Cat was the opening theme music. If you weren't old enough to start reading comics, Courageous Cat might be seen as an introduction into that world. Courageous was a Batman-like superhero with a Cat Cave, and the Catmobile, instead of a utility belt he had an assortment of guns that he pulled out from someplace behind his back that provided a wide variety of tools to enable him to escape predicaments he was placed in by his adversaries. His gallery of rogues included a frog (he sounded like Edward G Robinson), an ape and a fox, his assistant was Minute Mouse. The animation was not good so there was a great deal of inconsistency in the look of the characters. To the best of my memory Courageous Cat and Minute Mouse did not have secret identities, they were fulltime superheroes.

I watched a few episodes when PlutoTV still had the classic cartoon channel.

Isn’t MeTV Toons getting CC&MM?

Anyway, somebody referred to Sam Singer (producer) as the Ed Wood of Cartoons—but at least CC&MM must have been the best thing he put out.

The stories I have seen on YouTube are decent. Much of the music was from Capitol Hi-Q like the earliest Hanna-Barbera output.

I think it is going to be part of the late night programming rotation in the Fall on METV Toons.

As a fan of the Daniel Boone NBC-TV series of the mid-to-late '60s, one of the most interesting things to me about Courageous Cat is that Dal McKennon provided the main voices -- he was Cincinnatus on the Boone series.
