The Garfield Show

The Garfield show is a nice little fun show for anyone of any age who like Garfield the character!!!

This show opens up the world of Garfield the most of all the different t.v shows the orange cat has had. I grew up reading & watching Garfield & like millions of others i loved that lasagne loving cat & i used to watch the old school cartoon Garfield & Friends where he had episodes & then the farm/barnyard characters had episodes it was great fun.

The BRILLIANT extremely talented voice actor legend Frank Welker is now the voice of Garfield & you wouldn't know the difference as he's that good!!! The original voice was the legendary Lorenzo Music R.I.P.

Anyway this is a lovely fun colourful show full of the characters we love & full of silly fun & harmless humour. There's adventure round every corner & it's nice to really explore garf's world & Jon's house. Just good Garfield fun.

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.

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.

I think this is a decent show. I liked watching Garfield & Friends when I was younger but I still like the modern show better; it seems more creative with less bland dialog. I think the voices of the characters are better now and their personalities are more lovable.

This Garfield show is quite cute and most of the episodes have really good plot ideas. You can recognize the personalities of Garfield, Jon, and the other characters from the comic strips, and they don't look too different from their original design. I like the fluid animation but I think the CGI could be done better; maybe with better textures or brighter color? What makes Garfield stand out from other modern cartoons is that it doesn't try too hard to be funny, so that you can focus on the engaging storyline without too many pointless jokes.

Overall, it's a great show for Garfield fans and I think it's especially good for children who like the comics.

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.
