Garfield and Friends

[drgon78]

I have been re-watching this one recently...so who else is a fan of this version of Garfield?

There is also several specials done as well....so who else remembers them?

Garfield and Friends was Garfield at his peak. This is one 80s cartoon that still holds up IMO.

It was made in the 80s, but is so timeless and well animated, it can easily slide into any decade if you ran it now

[The Deadman]

I remember it being on Cartoon Network back in the mid90s and watched the hell outta it every single day.

I remember watching Garfield and Friends back in the early/mid 1990s on some local channel right before I went for my Saturday bowling league. I seriously miss the good old 1980s/1990s as a kid. In my opinion, that was the greatest time period of the 20th century.

These two clips live in my head rent-free everyday:

Most of my favorite episodes were the alien/creature/spooky ones.

So while changes that this and other adaptations of Garfield are understandable, given that the source material mostly just consists of a man pretending he has conversations with his cat, it is kind of strange to add more than actual plots, right?

"Healthcliff and the Catilac Cats" was just as good, I think. Maybe better.

Been putting it on Pluto at night lately when other original Nicktoons aren't on.

Finally finished watching it again, used to watch all the time, but it has been a while since the last time.

I finished it today. I started watching it in January 15 after one of my friends told me that he saw one of the two Garfield movies. Then i realized that i had not seen any of the tv series Garfield. I had seen some episodes of theGarfiend and friends many years ago when i was kid on tv but had never seen a whole series. That why i decided to see all Garfield series and started watching. It was very fun and a good series. As you know cats are my favorite animals. And today i started watching the next series alled The Garfield show.

[drgon78]

There were a ton of specials, some I am not sure if I ever saw.

[drgon78]

Eventually I need to re-watch this series again for the ??? time.

Honestly, this is a rare case where I think a show wouldn't age. Much.

Did the Garfield comic strip ever age once they settled on a standard design for the main characters?

I think I read somewhere John and Liz did finally make it official as a couple and maybe even got married. Seems like that would ruin John's whole character identity though.

I love the one episode where Garfield had to to a certain hour or so without eating, and suddenly everywhere he went they were vendors and whatnot offering free food he had to turn down.

As he's running, Garfield says/thinks 'where are all these vendors any other 30 minutes?' (or whatever the time limit was)

Everytime I've tried to "fast" from social media, some life-changing thing happens to somebody I know, and I end up missing it or hearing about it way late.

Saw this thread return and whenever I think of cartoon cats, my mind goes first to Heathcliff. That show had the best theme song in the history of animated theme songs, man.

They've been together 20 years now I think, I don't know if they're married, but they haven't had any kids yet.
