Based on the highly popular comic strip by Jim Davis, Garfield and Friends was considered the best long-running cartoon on CBS. This Saturday morning series featured the adventures of that lovable, hungry fat cat Garfield, his yellow dog friend Odie, and their cartoonist bachelor master Jon Arbuckle. Garfield cartoons shared the spot with a new cartoon series created for this series called U.S. Acres (also based on a comic strip by Jim Davis). U.S. Acres was a cartoon about a group of barnyard animals who run a farm. The leader was Orson Pig, the bookish and perceptive pig. His friends had many different qualities: Wade Duck was the scaredy-cat duck who runs away from everything, no kidding; Booker was a crafty little chick whose main goal was to chase a worm, and his brother Sheldon was nothing more than an egg with two legs sticking out; Roy Rooster was the practical joking rooster who puts everyone in trouble with his jokes; and two sheep, Bo and Lanolin, were always bickering with each other about nearly everything. Bo being a nice guy and Lanolin a cruel girl. Each episode, they had to protect the farm from Orson's big bad brothers and a crafty weasel. Before this series, Garfield cartoons were shown as yearly specials on CBS, and the specials were so great that CBS decided to turn Garfield into a cartoon series. In the first season, each 30-minute episode was packed with three 8-minute shorts, two Garfield shorts and one U.S. Acres short. In the second season, Garfield and Friends expanded to an hour, consisting of four Garfield cartoons and two U.S. Acres cartoons. It remained at this format until the show ended in 1994.

'Garfield:The Movie' was released on June 11,2004 & so far has made over $75 million at the box office. Thanks to the success of the movie, 20th Century Fox is now working on a CGI/live action movie version of 'Alvin & The Chipmunks' & coming to theathers on December 25th is 'Fat Albert', which is of course a live action version of the classic 1974-1984 cartoon 'Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids'.

  Garfield at his best. hide « show »

  "Friends are someone you can open up to..."
  
  "...at our lowest price ever--only 20 cents an issue!"
  
  "This is a light snack. A real snack includes soup."
  
  "Odie wound up wet and soggin/With a frog upon his noggin."
  
  If you remember any of these quotes, you are truly familiar with the goodness that is Garfield and Friends.
  
  Garfield and Friends is funnier than the strip itself, mainly because it's not relying on 3 to 7 pannels. The humor in the show is amazing. There's randomness, one of my favorite types of humor. A lot of shows need this kind of humor, and this show doesn't do a thing close to falling short of it.
  
  This also has that retro feel to it. That kind of feeling where you actually like that show--where you don't want to change the channel--where you want to have every episode and spend hundreds of dollars on DVDs to record it. This is that kind of awesome show.
  
  All of the characters are the same, but man, are they funny. The writers are creative with the storylines, it's unbelievable. I'd continue this review, but it's getting way too long.
  
  
  Final Show Grade: A+

  A funny show about a obese lion. hide « show »

  You know is name! It's Garfield, the FAT and Lazy CAT!!
  Ok sorry for that really horrible and g*y intro of what i just said to start this review. My dad use to be a big fan of Garfield when he was little and he showed me this cartoon. I loved it. The shows mainly about a obese cat named Garfield who lives in his pet owners house JON, and his disabled lovable yellow dog ODIE. The show is called Garfield and Friends, which had 3 segments. It had 2 sandwiching garfield episodes and 1 episode and i don't remember the name but it was about farm animals which was also fine. I was crazy about this show so i remember i was recording this show nonstop when it aired in Toon Disney. But good stuff has to go. Toon Disney is dead with it's all new name "Xtreme Disney". Almost all the shows are live action. Even the cartoons are 3d and they suck. Garfields pretty much dead, but the new garfield their airing in CN is pretty much ok, but seriously.. Xtreme Disney!?

  This show can be very funny! hide « show »

  This is another fabulous and superb show that is from the 1990's, I love animated shows like this one, it is a very cute show that is rich with comedy and good entertainment. This show has a lot of different characters, but the main characters are also very good and play their roles quite nicely. Garfield is, of course, the main character, he is a house cat and is loved by his owner, John. Garfield also has a pet buddy with him that is a dog, and his name is Odie. This was another classic cartoon I grew up with and had a good time and even laughed by watching a lot of its episodes. I love Garfield, he is is cool and funny! I also think that is unique that he loves to eat lasagna, hey I like lasagna too! Lasagna can be a very tasty food dish for good cheese consumption! Its his favorite food, so you can see why he loves it so much, Garfield also loves to eat so many other foods as well, hey I also love to eat tasty snacks!:) I remember seeing a lot of good episodes, and I thought the ones with that cowboy Jake were great and funny! One of my most favorite episodes I can remember was the one where Garfield, Odie, and John go camping! Garfield tries to get things set up but later that night they come across a bear! Fortunately the bear loves to dance to John strumming his guitar while singing some sort of song. Oh yes, and the partner show paired with Garfield was great too, it involved stories about farm animals and the pig was the main character, but I forget the name of it. Anyway Garfield and Friends is another great animated classic.

  7.5 Good

  Garfield & Friends paved the way for cartoons in the Silver Age, but it falls flat at times. However, it's really worth watching as it is funny, smart, and creative. On top of that, the characters are to die for. hide « show »

  For the most part, this show influenced the humor in shows to come with its breakings of the fourth wall, its various pop culture jabs, its wisecrack remarks, its sarcasm, and its irreverence. Unfortunately, the animation is mediocre, but the writing paved the way for future cartoons. While some episodes fall flat, others are downright hilarious. At times, the voice acting is absolutely professional, and at other times, it's a bit dull. Garfield & Friends certainly has its ups and downs. The best aspect of this show is its characters, which are easy to empathize with and obsess over. They're all so drawn out and unique. Not one of them is a clone of another. This show certainly deserved to stay on the air as long as it did, but I would have loved to work on it to make some improvements. Overall, it's a very nice show with a colorful cast of characters, clever storylines, and creative ideas.

  I am a huge garfield fan, so I obviously love this show. hide « show »

  Garfield is a terrific show. I totally disagree with supermarioluke. Not a lot of people dislike this show. I am proud this show is liked by a lot of people. Who doesnt`t like garfield? People without brains! I am a garfieldaholic. This is the main reason reason why I like lasagna. I think garfield is the bomb! Garfield rocks my world. Please bring it back! Show it on t.v a little more often (and, on some more channels). It is the best show ever, and I can`t believe anyone would not like it. It is better than spongebob (a little bit better). If you hate this show, I don`t mind. You have the right to an opinion. I just disagree with anyone who hates this show. I have every volume of this show. I almost forgot about orson`s farm. That is good too. When I first watched garfield, and this came on, I was momentarily confused. I like garfield and orson`s farm. But I like garfield better. I am done. This show rocks. What a long review.
