The Garfield Show

*Wildcat* · 11-19-2009, 04:17 AM

Kinda surprised theres no thread for this. Even its IMDB page only has a few comments.

Anyway, its on Cartoon Network and its actually pretty good. Its not as good as "Garfield and Friends" was but it actually has some funny moments and feels like Garfield.

The animation is 3D but its a good thing because its done so well. Some of the lighting effects are great and everything is so nice to look at. Also theres alot of "animation" going on. What I mean is the character are not stiff.

Hard to explain, like I said it feels like Garfield and thats the most important thing.

Heres the intro but this video does not do the CGI justice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwqPvq0y8BY

I watched one episode and didn't really like it that much the CGI kinda ruined it for me i prefer Garfield and friends.

I saw a few episodes last Saturday. It's no Garfield & Friends, but it's decent. Love the meta-humor.

This is based in the same universe as the recent straight to DVD films. The series is at least written/directed by Mark Evanier who wrote most of the Garfield and Friend's eps. So it's got that going for it.

I didn't even know this was playing tho but it's Garfield so I already know Im not missing much.

I've caught a few episodes but was'nt impressed with what I saw. The CG thing does not work for the Jim Davis designs. Some stuff like Popeye for example is meant to stay drawn and Garfield is that way.

The voice actor for this new Garfield is pretty good. Who is it? It can't be Bill Murray.

Aside from the CG I was'nt grabbed by any of the stories. I'll pass this one up. It does however make me want to watch Garfield & Friends again.

I think the voice is Frank Welker. he's been doing the direct to video garfield movies.
