The Garfield Show

I just realized why Garfield looked odd in the live action movies. Because he was animated, that's why! Here Garfield is able to do things that were limited in the live action, like some cartoonish stuff or alive lasagna from outer space. Garfield was able to be what he is, a cartoon.

I've seen shows trying to copy or remake the old one, but 70% of the time it ends up a total failure and gets canceled after the first 3 episodes. This show however wasn't made for adults, you can obviously tell with all the cliché jokes and the same plot line.

There is one thing you have to thank this show for, keeping Garfield alive and strong. Kids aren't in to comic books, or comic "strips" as much as they were 2 decades ago, Since Garfield isn't really adapted to TV yet since the 1980s or so (sorry if I'm wrong I'm 15) The spirit of Garfield might of just died out if it wasn't for change and I think this is it, getting CHILDREN to like this show so who knows maybe one of them will carry on Garfield through another 20 years or so? we could only hope Garfield lives as long as it can even if we have to go through some change.

Oh and I never actually reviewed this show, I think its pretty funny at times I actually like the animation style its not to much I think the way Jon runs makes me laugh the most (not the way he was animated but the way he was meant to walk)I honestly think any kid would like this show, but I know really long Garfield fans would have a hard time to adjust.

This show isn't bad by any means, but it comes no where close to Garfield And Friends, I give this show 5/10 because it isn't bad necessarily, it's obviously different from Garfield And Friends, the Garfield show dives more into that futuristic side with a lot of weird stuff going on like plants growing inside of homes going through the roofs, it's different of course, different isn't always bad, here it's fine enough, but when you watch a few of the episodes you'd think to yourself that the writers were on something that they shouldn't had been on, so weird it is, but bad? I can't say for sure. So both good and bad, find out for yourself.

Garfield - we've seen him as a stuffed cat who eats lasagna all day. But have we actually seen him on his own TV Show? Along with his best friend, Odie the dog, Garfield finds himself in sticky situations, and going through "cat issues" and like a random kid show, learning a valuable lesson at the end of the day.

Even though I've only seen one episode of the show, I've started to develop a certain liking for it... I mean Garfield and Odie embarking on a exciting expedition, trying to steal a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, guarded by a Lephracon. Then Garfield soon learns that "wealth isn't everything" and decides to do the right thing. What could be more better?

A typical kid show I know, but I'll recommend it to any Garfield fan.

Garfield Show is an okay series and fits the character of Garfield well, but there are two things that bring it down.

1. The dated CGI. It isn't the worst 2000s era CGi animation I've seen, but it's definitely worse the wonderful 2D animation of And Friends.

2. THE SONGS. Garfield Show had these specials during Season 3 or 4 that HAD to feature musical number. Yeah, let's halt the whole show just to let Garfield sing about how he's the king of cats to some lion cubs! GREAT IDEA!

But then again this show is how I found Garfield as a whole, so it gets some brownie points for that. My recommendation: dip your shoe into it once, then run back the Garfield and Friends.
