    How could anyone do this to garfield? He was so funny and clever, but they just HAD to make this out of it! Its terrible! Its so much dif from the comics, i am not even looking at the same cat. I have a respect for garfield, the COMICS. NOT the show. This is bad. Just...... ugh. RIP garfield. Though nobody but the true fans remember you, you are still celebrated by us.moreless

  • What the Fudge is This?

    Omigosh. Where do I begin?

    Okay, I'll start with the characters. Basically, they're all the same characters, but the personalities are changed a bit. Garfield isn't funny anymore. He used to be a hilarious and cute cat, but now he's... lame. He takes time to explain his jokes, which takes away the fun of it. Odie isn't a stupid dog, either. He's, like, smart now. Jon, like Movienerd213 said, he's a jerk and he's changed WAY too much. I wanna punch him! Argh. Nermal, personally, has always been my favorite, because he reminded me of my kittens, Stammer and Jae, but now he's a stuck up jerk. Like many people have said below, he gets away with everything!

    The plots are all stupid, too. They're so boring. I seriously fell asleep wathcing one when I was home sick. One episode is about a heat wave they have, and they camping and it starts to snow. Where are they going with that?

    The animation and voices suck. The animation is in CGI, which doesn't fit Garfield at all. The voices are crappy, too. They're all either too low or too high.

    So to end it all, I believe the Garfield show ruins the whole thing, and makes Garfield look horrible. I hope this show is taken off the air and burns in a fire.moreless

  • This show wants to so desperately try to recapture Garfield and Friends, but comes up very short in all aspects.

    I remember a few years ago there were some new Garfield TV movies that were mediocre and just boring. I had a suspicion that with those TV movies another Garfield show was coming, and I was right. Now I will admit I was hyped to see this show. I loved Garfield and Friends which I consider a classic to this day, and I thought a new one was just what CN needed, but instead of a funny show I feel like I got a bucket of wet and soggy cat hairballs dumped on me. The Garfield Show centers around Garfield and his many adventures with Jon, Odie, and so many more. So it sounds decent enough for a show, and is similar to Garfield and Friends, but this show turns out to be such a watered downed version of it. Unlike the last Garfield show where the characters were full of wit, and were funny have been completely turned into uninteresting characters who lack the heart of the comic book characters. Garfield is sarcastic, always hungry, and is witty in the comics. In the show he is not as sarcasttic, he follows diets, and even gets sick from eating too much food. Odie seems to smart now and not as dumb. Jon is barely angry at Garfield and doesn't do a lot to punish Garfield for his misbehavior. Nermal, I consider the worst character, is not only annoyingly cute, but an arrogant jerk as well. I also hate how Nermal tricks Garfield and Odie and he gets away all the time. In one episode Nermal pretends to be hurt, and always outwitted Garfield and Odie. At the end though Nermal is found out to be okay, but doesn't get into trouble, and tortures Garfield and Odie when they are hurt as well. It's just like CatDog where the Greaser Dogs always get away with hurting Cat. It's annoying to say the least. The stories are mostly rehashed and the ones that aren't are very stupid like a planet of lasagna attacking Earth. Are they this desperate for ideas? The humor is also another annoying factor and it irritates me. Most of it are gags that should be funny, but aren't. Garfield also breaks the 4th wall a lot by explaining to the audience about the joke. It's very annoying. Breaking the 4th wall can work, but the way it' done is just terrible. Look at My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The character Pinkie Pie can break the 4th wall and the way she does it results in comedy. In The Garfield Show it's irritating, and unfunny. The artwork is terrible to look at. While the characters look okay the sets look bland, and the colors are a little on the overblown side. The animation is even worse though. Characters move so stiffly, and lip syncs are off most of the time. The Garfield Show in the end fails to hold up to the previous Garfield show, and is nothing more than a complete pathetic attempt to recapture it's glory. Fans of Garfield should stick with Garfield and Friends, the comics, and even the movies. Just don't waste your time at all with this show, and let it be canceled for Garfield's sake.moreless

  • Worst adaptation of Garfield since the crappy live action movie

    1.0
    By Movienerd213, Jul 12, 2012
    I am a fan of Garfield's comic strip,but in my opinion,the live action movie sucked. And as if things couldn't get worse,they make this show,and my god,what was CN on when they made this show. The show stars Garfield,Jon,Odie and all of our characters from the strip. Now,this has got to be the worst thing related to Garfield I have seen throughout my entire life. First off,the animation looks horrible. The CGI doesn't fit Garfield at all,everything looks so awkward,and lip syncs are off most of the time. Just like Cubix:Robots for Everyone,it looks like a outdated video game from 1999. Second,the plots are just ridicoulous. I mean,when I think of Garfield,I think of going on diets and still eating during them,pretending to chase mice when really friends with them,and many more crap,but in this show,it goes the opposite direction,and we have such ridicoulous plots such as bunny slippers coming to life,a birthday cake turning into monsters,and a lasagna planet. What is this? Fanboy and Chum Chum's clone brother. Third,the characters. My god,they're potrayed very poorly and doesn't even live up to the strip. Garfield was a fat and lazy cat who ate everything. Now he seems to stand diets,and is not even funny at all. In one episode,he got a stomachache from eating too much food,which is impossible because he could eat an entire buffet in like 5 seconds. Odie was a idiotic dog who was likable,now he is smart. Jon was originally a boring owner who was a big nerd that failed at getting girls. Now,he is just a complete a-hole to Garfield and even eats in front of him when he can't eat. I've also noticed how he treats him like his son. He nearly grounded him from lasagna from a year in one episode,which is really creepy,since he's a FREAKIN CAT. Nermal is by far the worst character of the entire show. In the comic,he was a kitten who cared about his looks,but was funny, Now,he is a complete jerk to Garfield,and is extremely annoying. He's like the Scrappy Doo of kittens. Also,he gets away with everything from Jon,proving how much I hate Jon. The jokes are just really bad,and is not funny at all. I've also noticed how everyone always points out the obvious during scenes,and tell what's going on in the scene even though the viewers aren't deaf. Overall,this show is just fail written all over it. It just ruins Garfield's name. If you want a good Garfield show,watch Garfield and Friends.moreless
