Why was Courage the Cowardly Dog airing reruns on CN for so dang long?

Courage the Cowardly Dog ended the year I was born, and yet it still had regular slots on CN's schedule all the way through when I was in 6th grade). I honestly used to think it was a current show when I watched it growing up. How did that happen? When most cartoon shows end, they only stay on for like 2-3 more years at the most, what made Courage so special?

I can only guess that ratings-wise, it did really really well in reruns.

It was popular and unique?

CN really loved Courage so much, that's why.

I think it was mostly because it performed which was probably a good result.

It's performance in ratings also might've lead to that Fog of Courage special.
