...Come on in, It's Time to Party With Garfield and Friends!
Garfield and Friends was the first TV show to star that famous fat cat we all know and love. It was very popular in its heyday(and still is!), and ran for a whopping seven years.
The show consisted of two(or occasionally four) Garfield segments, starring the lasagna-loving cat himself, as well as his well-meaning but inept owner Jon and dopey but friendly doggie pal Odie, as well as occasional appearances by guest pest Nermal, the unbearably loud Binky the Clown(he even had his own mini-segments within the show entitled, "Screaming with Binky"), Garfield's on-again-off-again girlfriend Penelope(Not Arlene?), and his mouse buddy Floyd. Shown between Garfield segments were U.S. Acres segments, based off of Jim Davis' lesser-known strip.(Which I'll be covering in my next post!)
Overall, Garfield and Friends was a very cool, funny, well-made show. The storylines are humorous, with jokes borrowing heavily from the comic strips, and the characters are, as always, good, funny, and likeable. Personally, I've always loved this show.(And still do!) A high-quality masterpiece that any Garfield aficionado will surely enjoy.
The show's theme songs are mighty catchy as well!
Also, all seven seasons of the show are now on DVD, which are available at the links below:
