A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Garfield and Friends is a cartoon show that is just as funny as the comics. My brother was a huge fun of the show and he actually got me into watching a few episodes as well. It consists of stories about the food-loving cat Garfield the cat, the clueless dog Odie and their frustrated, geeky owner Jon. They get into lots of misadventures - funny as heck, and will send the laughs pile on.The show also follows Orson the Pig and his adventures with fellow his fellow farm animals. The stories of Orson follows the Garfield stories.A very nice cartoon that is great for the kids! Grade B+

Travel back in time to the days when Garfield was genuinely funny. When Ronald Regan's presidency was in its finest hours. This makes me wish I lived then. The comedy was funny I listen to the Buddy bears theme 24/7 Binky just makes me hyper. Lorenzo Music acted well. Everything was just right. Not generic, not cliché. Just right. The voice acting is great.The music is great. The cartoon artwork is great. Garfield and Friends is without a doubt a great show and is completely pure. No doubt in my mind. This show never fells to entertain. This is everything ALL tie in shows at the time should have been. A valiant effort to capture the spirit of the source material. No idiots, no bad plots. Everything was near perfect. Combating certain modern shows in that field.

I liked (not loved) this cartoon when I saw this on Children's ITV back in the early 90's. I adore the comic strip thought, the wit and purity of the comic strip still appeals to everyone to this day and even going into 2009, Garfield still proves he is going to be very popular (just check out Borders for calenders!). The animation of the strip has also improved. Garfield looks cleaner and a lot more believable and Odie is now playing more of a part in the comic strip than he used to (but the days when Jon is not going around searching for a date anymore since Liz actually love him now but at least he's finally happy!). Mealtime jokes for now on! Anyways, about this cartoon, is was good for watching something to come home from school for, but there was something about that never gelled! There was a lot of comic strips turn T.V. cartoon back in the day like Snoopy, Hagar and Heathcliff, so I guess this was only really being a money-spinner. First off, why is the animation in the Garfield sketches cruder than the Orson's Farm ones? It's weird! Where they trying to develop styles or something? Because I find this really strange. I really didn't like the Orson's Farm segments. They were boring and not funny. The appealed to a CbeeBies audience than anyone else. And another that bothers me is Garfield's dry wit. He is just a one joke character who does nothing more than fools his foolish owner Jon, eat the house out and humiliate the dog while making sarcastic side remarks! The animation was not up to standards either and the voices grated quickly. And where was Odie for most of the episodes? Mind you, the Garfield stories were good fun, if they were original enough. I did like this when it first came out but I lost interest as this went on, especially when it change the theme tune and became more like trying to compete with Tiny Toons or Animanics! My final words: If you are looking for a good cartoon on a Friday afternoon and there is nothing on the other side, than this will do. But if you want to capture the pure wit and charm of Garfield in all his flavour, you're better off reading the newspaper each day!

Man do I miss this show. One of the best cartoons ever made! I used to watch this when it was on the air and even after it went off I watched the re-runs until stupid UPN stop showing them in 1997! Great kids show. I actually like the show better then the Garfield comics. The thing that really the show kick off was that Lorenzo Music, aka Carlton the doorman on Rhoda, did the voice of Garfield! He is thee perfect person to do his voice. It was so upsetting when he died. He wasn't in The Garfield Movie and that made it suck not to mention they totally changed Jon in it. I always wanted Odie to talk. Garfield and Nermal can "talk" so why can't Odie? I also liked the barnyard animals. My favorite was Wade, so scared of everything. Poor duck. I wish this show never went off. Why did it? It was so successful. Bring it back! Come on Jim Davis! Bring back Garfield and Friends!
