    the show stars off with Garfield watching golf on t.v. and he can't stand it. he looks for the remote control and concludes that it is too far away for it to be worth the trip and settles for watching boring golf. The picture gets fuzzy thanks to Jon who is vacuuming the house. Garfield goes to unplug it and hint to Jon that he needs to use a broom instead. Jon makes a bet with him that if he can go without t.v. for 24 hours then he'll switch to the broom. Garfield agrees but almost instantly he is tempted to watch because so many of his favorite shows and movies are on. The temptation continues throughout the night with the t.v. actually coming to life and trying to persuade him to turn it on. Garfield finally gets through the night and ultimately wins the bet but becuse he was so spooked by the t.v. coming alive he can wait for the t.v. to be fixed because it's broken.moreless

    "Perfect"
    By martindoc, Oct 18, 2005
    That's surely the very BEST Garfield episode of the season 2. The deal that Jon and Garfield whole not watching TV during 24 hours is a classic thing, but absolutely effective. I believe also the great and only performance of the TV house to speak, forcing Garfield to watch him, but Garfield know that he's lost his deal if he's watch. Regardless, Video Victim is a superb episode of the season 2 unfortunately ending horriblifingmoreless

    • (Garfield tries not to turn on the TV as Jon watches him) Garfield: I don't care if they rerun "The Creature that Devoured Muncie". I'm not watching. Jon: Hmmm, looks whats on channel 37 "The Creature that Devoured Muncie". Garfield: A cinema classic! To think they gave the Oscar that year to "Gandhi". Gotta watch it.

    • Jon: I'm sorry the vacuum interferes with your TV watching, but how else am I gonna get the house clean. (Garfield ropes the broom with the vacuum cord) Jon: Why should I give up the vacuum cleaner, why don't you give up TV? Garfield: Give up TV? What planet are you from? Why not give up breathing or eating Italian food?

    • Garfield: I shouldn't have eaten that ninth anchovy pizza with Canadian bacon.
