OllieSuave-007 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+
macratzenberger 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.
MilkTheCouch I first heard of this show in 2007, when it aired on Boomerang, a few weeks before it got canned. The first episode I ever saw was "China Cat/Cock-A-Doodle-Dandy/Beach Blanket Bonzo", and the only other one I saw was "Peace and Quiet/Wanted: Wade/Garfield Goes Hawaiian". One day, we got a coupon in a Laptop Meal at KFC for a discount on the Behind The Scenes DVD, so me and my sister got that DVD and were obsessed with the show. But once I was addicted into Pokemon, I rarely watched the show. That was until April 2012, when I decided to look on a website about television and saw the Season 7 opening theme linked to on a page. That night, I watched some Garfield segments. A month after that, I discovered U.S. Acres after seeing a 5-second clip of it attached to a commercial break, and thought it looked cute. I was right-the segment turned out to be better than Garfield! Which brings me to my review: The Garfield segments are based on the comic strip by Jim Davis about a very peculiar cat who doesn't act like other cats. He eats human food like lasagna, he sleeps a lot, he is fat, he doesn't chase mice, he hates spiders and dogs, and we're able to hear his thoughts. He goes on many misadventures, like visiting a little girl's mansion, asking viewers to find mistakes in his cartoon, meeting a copy of himself, celebrating holidays, and re-telling classic stories. U.S. Acres is about a pig named Orson who loves to read, and his wacky friends. They vary from a duck who is afraid of nearly everything named Wade, a "prankster-gangster" rooster named Roy, an egg with feet named Sheldon, a grumpy female sheep named Lanolin, a "cool dude" sheep named Bo, a baby chick named Booker, 3 evil pigs who are his brothers, a weasel who wants to steal chickens, a duck with buck-teeth named Fred, a chick girl named Chloe and my favorite character, a pig named Aloysius who is voiced by the famous comedian Kevin Meaney who works for The Network. They go on many misadventures too, but they mostly teach lessons, like not breaking the law and to not make fun of other people, and re-do stories, like Snow White, Cinderella, The Count Of Monte Cristo, and even classic nursery rhymes! This cartoon will make you laugh, and it's one of the best out there!
soymilk At one point when I was very young, 'Garfield and Friends' was one of the after-school cartoons I always looked forward to being able to watch the most – every Thursday I would eagerly await getting home and tuning in to the sardonic ginger-tabby and his various musings on life. I LOVED the initial theme song, 'Friends are There' (in fact I can still remember how frustrated I was when they converted to the painfully catchy 'Get Ready to Party' opener – ugh!), and the escapades that the overweight kitty got himself into always held my interest from beginning to end. Even when production stopped and the show left the air, and when I grew up and lost my enthusiasm for after-school TV (though I'll always have a soft spot for cartoons deep down, and this show is one of the key reasons why), a whole load of the stories, the characters and of course the theme music stayed with me through the years. I was delighted, a couple of years or so ago, to find a satellite channel that broadcast repeats of 'Garfield and Friends', and decided to watch them chiefly for the childhood memories. It came as quite a pleasant surprise, therefore, to discover just how well 'Garfield' now stood up to even my cynical young adult mind. The writing here could be so smart and dry that I found myself smiling at lines which meant nothing to me at that age. Back then, I just loved it for the visual humour and the easy-to-follow narratives, but really there were so many layers to this show all along that I had to wait to be able to value.There was one mild disappointment that I probably should try and get out of the way as quickly as possible, and that's that the lesser known Jim Davis cartoon that accompanied it, 'US Acres' (or, as it was titled here in the UK, 'Orson's Farm') proved exactly the opposite – that is, it doesn't impress me nearly as much now as it did when I was six or so. I feel like I'm echoing pretty much everyone else here in saying it – that they were good for non-discerning kids who wouldn't mind the preachy morals or grating musical numbers that turned up in *every single damn episode*. Older viewers, on the other hand, might want to use the 'US Acres' segments as time to step out into the kitchen and fix themselves a cup of coffee before the next 'Garfield' one starts. That in mind, the inspired opening credits sequence, in which Garfield battles it out with Orson and his farmyard cronies for screen dominance, just about manages to justify them.Back to the truly great stuff – the 'Garfield' segments. There are so many glowing things to be said about those cartoons. Lorenzo Music's voice-work was fabulous. The anti-heroic characters were all wonderful, and so unlike any you could find in other kids' cartoons at the time – as well as our sarcastic, self-serving lead, we also had the hapless social misfit Jon Arbuckle, the mindless, relentlessly cheerful yellow canine Odie, and Nermal, a narcissistic little kitten who values his natural cuteness above everything else in life (and yes, he IS officially a male, no matter how feminine his voice-over sounded – that's something which always confused me as a kid). Another thing to be admired about 'Garfield' was just how brave and risk-taking it was for a cartoon that came after 'the Flinstones' but just before 'the Simpsons' – in between the great success that those two shows each enjoyed, animation had been widely regarded as exclusively juvenile stuff of no importance other than to keep the younger members of the family quiet for half an hour. Such disregard did little to dampen Garfield's attitude. His cartoons were willing to play around with the customs of the format, with its very post-modern self-referring humour (not to mention the fact that Garfield himself appeared to be fully aware that he was really a character in a cartoon show), and frequent stabs at experimental episodes – I'm thinking along the lines of the one where Garfield wakes up in the wrong cartoon, or those where he steps out of the context of his own cartoon and gives a lecture on what makes successful comedy, or whatnot. Most of it paid off really well.And I just realised that I managed to get through most of this comment without reference to that live action movie with a CGI Garfield that 20th Century Fox churned out last year. Well, maybe one day when I'm feeling bored I'll finally give in, sit down and give it a chance, but I don't anticipate that it'll come anywhere close to the standards set by this TV show (for one thing I just can't picture Garfield without Lorenzo Music's vocals). This is, after all, one the finest pieces of animated TV that us kids of the late 80s/early 90s ever had the pleasure of growing up with. And it's not the sort of thing that can be easily repeated.Grade: A (that's for Garfield, not Orson, mind)
