That's great news! I used to watch Garfield and Friends all the time. Plus, any release of a great animated series such as this to DVD is as good to me as my weight in lasagna would be to Garfield.

I hope they have all the comic Blackouts (the short sketches) in tact, and not just release the syndicated version....

Does anybody remember an animated Garfield special that had different cartoons of Garfield but each were in different animation styles? I don't remember the name of it, but for some reason I remember it being very dark. Either that or I just dreamed it up.

YES!! I've been waiting for these since forever. I loved the cartoon series, and the specials are great.

If one good thing comes from the movie, it'll be that they released these to pump people up for it.

The special you are refferring to is "Garfield: His 9 Lives" based on a book of the same name. I do have this on tape, but it is very old, So unfotunately I couldn't make a copy for a tape trade if you wanted it.

Now that's an ideal thing to put on another DVD, as long as these ones do well. I hope they have a holiday 3 episode special... Need to hear Jon and Doc boy yell "PRESENTS" near the end of A Garfield Christmas special.

What does everyone have against US Acres? I thought it was pretty funny.

'The bunny rabbits is coming!'

Wade Duck was my favorite character.

Man I loved US Acres back when it was a comic strip.... too bad it didn't do as well as the main comic.

It was kinda dumb, and just not on the Garfield scale. As a seperate series, it would've tanked like a heavy turd.
