Garfield and Friends is an American animated television series based on the comic strip Garfield by Jim Davis. The show aired on CBS as part of its Saturday morning children's lineup from September 17, 1988, to December 10, 1994.

The show features animated story lines adapted from the comic strip Garfield and Davis's other comic strip U.S. Acres. Mark Evanier was the show's head writer. Lorenzo Music provided the voice of Garfield the cat, the strip's title character, as he had done since Here Comes Garfield in 1982. Other voices present on the show included Thom Huge as Jon Arbuckle, Garfield's human owner, and Gregg Berger as Odie the dog, also returning from prior Garfield animated media. Berger and Huge also respectively voiced Orson Pig and Roy Rooster in the U.S. Acres segments. 121 episodes were made, each consisting of two Garfield segments and one U.S. Acres segment and a "Garfield Quickie" at the end. All episodes have been released in the U.S. on five DVD sets by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.

The rights to the series are currently owned by Paramount Skydance as a result of its acquisition of Paws, Inc. on August 6, 2019.[3] However, 9 Story Media Group currently distributes the show under license from Paramount.[4]

Further information: Garfield and U.S. Acres

Garfield is an American comic strip created by Jim Davis and started in 1978. The comic strip was first adapted into animated form in 1980 for the special The Fantastic Funnies, but reached a wider audience in 1982 with the television movie Here Comes Garfield on CBS.[5] Garfield was adapted into eleven more television movies for the network, ending with Garfield Gets a Life in 1991. Garfield and Friends was also made for CBS, and debuted on the network in 1988. The network first announced in April 1988 that the show would be joining the Saturday morning cartoon lineup alongside The Adventures of Raggedy Ann and Andy and Superman.[6]

For most of its original run, Garfield and Friends was broadcast in a full-hour block.[7][circular reference] These episodes were later split into half-hour blocks for reruns, syndication, and home video. Each half-hour episode of the show typically consists of two segments adapted from Garfield and one adapted from U.S. Acres, a comic strip also created by Davis which began in 1986.[8] These segments featured original story lines written using the characters from each strip, although both segments featured original characters not present in the source material as well. Nearly every episode of the show was written or co-written by Mark Evanier.[9]

Segments

[edit]
Main articles: List of Garfield characters and U.S. Acres § Characters

Garfield

[edit]

The segments adapted from Garfield feature the same primary characters as the comic strip. The title character, Garfield (voiced by Lorenzo Music), is a greedy and laid-back orange tabby cat. His owner is a human named Jon Arbuckle (voiced by Thom Huge), whose story lines include his failed attempts to date women and his frustrations of dealing with Garfield's mischief. Jon is also the owner of Odie (voiced by Gregg Berger), a yellow dog who is often the subject of Garfield's pranks. Other human characters in the Garfield and Friends segments include Dr. Liz Wilson (voiced by Julie Payne), who is Garfield's veterinarian; Herman Post (voiced by Gregg Berger), a postal worker; and Binky the Clown (voiced by Thom Huge), the star of his own television show within the series. Non-human characters include Nermal (voiced by Desirée Goyette), a kitten who often visits Garfield to antagonize him; the Buddy Bears (voiced by Howard Morris, Gregg Berger, and Thom Huge), three bears who are also the star of their own television show; Penelope Pussycat (voiced by Victoria Jackson), Garfield's love interest who lives in an Italian restaurant; and Floyd (voiced by Gregg Berger), a mouse Garfield interacts with regularly.

U.S. Acres

[edit]

The second comic strip adapted for the series, U.S. Acres, is set on a farm with various animals. The lead character is Orson (voiced by Gregg Berger), an imaginative pig who enjoys reading books. Accompanying him in these segments are Roy (voiced by Thom Huge), a loud-mouthed rooster who enjoys pranking the others; Wade (voiced by Howard Morris), a cowardly duck; Bo (voiced by Frank Welker) and Lanolin (voiced by Julie Payne), a pair of sheep who are brother and sister; and Booker and Sheldon (both voiced by Frank Welker), a pair of juvenile chickens. Orson's brothers Mort, Gort, and Wart (respectively voiced by Frank Welker, Thom Huge, and Howard Morris) regularly serve as antagonists within the U.S. Acres segments. These segments would go by alternate titles internationally. In most of the world, these segments would be known as Orson's Farm, however in Canada, the segments would be known as Orson's Place.

Production and cancellation

[edit]

Although the series was a success in the ratings at the time, it had become expensive to make and the Saturday morning cartoon format was in decline by the mid-1990s. Additionally, CBS as a whole was a distant third behind NBC and ABC for much of the series' run, and was in the middle of its cost-cutting by Laurence Tisch that resulted in CBS losing broadcasting rights to the National Football League for four years starting in 1994 and subsequently losing many longtime affiliates to Fox, which had outbid CBS for its NFL package. As a result, CBS proposed renewing the show for another season, albeit with significant budget cuts. Since the show did well in syndication, producers ended the series in 1994 with its seventh season.[10]

Reception and legacy

[edit]

At the time of the series' release, critical reviews on it were generally negative. Charles Solomon of The Los Angeles Times wrote in 1988, "Garfield has lost all his feline qualities and become a crabby little man in a cat suit. With more than 3,500 Garfield products on the market, does anyone really need to see more of the character?"[11] Gene Seymour of The Pittsburgh Press rated the show "D−", saying that the show "tries too hard to be hip and cool" and "the jokes are flat."[12]

However, retrospective reviews of the series have been much more favorable. The quality of Garfield and Friends when compared with other animated television series from the 1980s is considered by animation historian Jerry Beck to "foreshadow the higher quality animation boom coming in the next decade."[13] Hal Erickson says that "Garfield and Friends rapidly became the hub around which the rest of CBS' morning lineup was built," and it "seemed to get better with each passing season."[14]

Home media

[edit]

Region 1

[edit]

In response to the financial success of Garfield: The Movie, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment released all seven seasons of Garfield and Friends to Region 1 DVD in five volume box sets, with each set having 24–25 episodes on three discs. Each set features an image of Garfield with a U.S. Acres character.[15] These DVD sets show the original telecast versions, rather than the edited versions once seen in syndication and on cable networks. As of October 2013, these releases have been discontinued and are out of print.

On May 25, 2016, 9 Story Media Group announced that they had acquired worldwide distribution rights to Garfield and Friends and planned to remaster the series in HD and re-release it on DVD.[4] On January 15, 2019, 9 Story Media Group (distributed by Public Media Distribution through its SkipRope label) released a best-of set entitled 20 Garfield Stories on DVD in Region 1. They have subsequently begun re-releasing the series on DVD in Region 1 in complete season sets, season 1 was released on July 16, 2019,[16] season 2 was released on November 5, 2019,[17] and season 3 was released on October 27, 2020.[18] A 6-disc set titled The Grumpy Cat Collection, containing the first three remastered seasons, was released on June 15, 2021.[19]

Syndication history

[edit]

Garfield and Friends has been syndicated on television around the world, beginning in the late 1980s and remaining on air in present day. In Latin America, it played on Cartoon Network from 1993 to 2005, on Boomerang from 2005 to 2008, on Warner Channel from 1998 to 2002, and on Tooncast from 2008 to 2016. Currently, all four of these networks have lost the rights to the show. Televisa's Canal 5 also played the show for many years, from the mid-1990s to early 2000s.

In Australia, Garfield and Friends began syndication on Network Ten from 1988 to 1995. For the duration of its original run, it aired on cable television on Nickelodeon. Most recently it played on FOX8 from 2004 to 2006. But it came back and it was played on Eleven (Australian TV channel) from 2011 to 2014.

The United Kingdom and the United States remain the highest syndicators of the show. In the UK, it appeared on CITV from 1989 through 2002 (10 minutes per episode), on Sky1 from 1998 to 2002 (also 10 minutes per episode), and on Boomerang from 2003 to 2006 with Season 1 and 2 only.

In the United States, the series appeared in syndication on local stations, distributed by The Program Exchange, between 1993 and 2006 (with broadcast stations running it into 2001).[20] Only 73 of the 121 episodes were acquired by The Program Exchange. This was due to the producers selling syndication rights when the show was still on air and CBS wanting to keep the rights for certain episodes. Since the 73-episode syndication package performed well enough on stations already airing the show, acquiring the later episodes were deemed unnecessary.[10] This syndication package also aired on TBS, TNT, and Cartoon Network from 1995 to 1997, and Nickelodeon from 1997 to 2000.

The series later gained its own 24/7 Pluto TV channel on September 7, 2021.[22]

Garfield and Friends aired in Canada on the cable TV channel YTV from 1993 to 2001. The show was broadcast on Teletoon's 24-hour classic-animation network, Teletoon Retro, until the channel's shutdown on September 1, 2015.

Garfield and Friends was also broadcast in New Zealand in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It aired on TV3 as part of a wrapper programme for children called The Early Bird Show by airing on weekday mornings and then on Saturday mornings when the show was shifted to only airing on weekend mornings.

Further information: The Garfield Show

A new CGI series premiered in 2009. Much of the creative team on Garfield and Friends also worked on this series, such as executive producer/creator Jim Davis and co-writer/voice director Mark Evanier.

Frank Welker replaced Lorenzo Music as the voice of Garfield due to Music's death in 2001 (Welker was chosen due to being able to approximate Music's voice well enough to fill in when Music was unable to provide Garfield's voice), while Wally Wingert replaced Thom Huge as the voice of Jon Arbuckle due to Huge's retirement in the same year. Other familiar voice actors have also appeared, some of them reprising their roles (such as Gregg Berger as Odie and Herman Post).

The series does not include the U.S. Acres series and characters, as well as other main characters from Garfield and Friends. In one episode, Binky the Clown is mentioned, to which Garfield then replies, "My contract says he's not allowed to be in this series."[34]

Overview

Premise

and Friends is an animated television series derived from Jim Davis's comic strip , which debuted on June 19, 1978, and the spin-off strip , which ran from March 3, 1986, to May 7, 1989. The series faithfully adapts elements from these sources, centering on the contrasting worlds of suburban domesticity and rural farm life to deliver episodic humor. The core premise revolves around alternating segments: in the Garfield portions, the titular lazy, lasagna-obsessed orange cat navigates his laid-back suburban existence alongside his hapless owner and the dim-witted dog Odie, often leading to chaotic mishaps driven by Garfield's sarcasm and self-indulgence. In contrast, the U.S. Acres (also known as Orson's Farm) segments shift to a comedic barnyard setting where and his anthropomorphic animal companions engage in antics and group dynamics on the farm. This dual structure highlights everyday absurdities in both environments, blending individual character-driven gags with ensemble interactions. Thematically, the show employs a mix of sarcastic wit, primarily from Garfield's deadpan commentary, and physical comedy across both worlds, appealing to a broad audience of children and families through its lighthearted, relatable portrayals of laziness, friendship, and mischief. While staying true to the visual style and personality quirks of the original comic strips, the expands on static panels by incorporating dynamic plots, recurring gags, and musical interludes to enhance for television.

Format

Garfield and Friends episodes follow a consistent 30-minute format, comprising 121 half-hour episodes produced over seven seasons from 1988 to 1994. This structure balances content from the two universes, ensuring a mix of humor styles within each broadcast block. The core of each episode consists of two main 7-minute segments—one centered on and his antics, the other on the U.S. Acres farmyard escapades—with the segments strictly alternating and always beginning with the Garfield portion to maintain narrative flow and viewer engagement. Bookending these primary segments are brief "quickie" interludes, typically lasting 1 to 2 minutes, which serve as lighthearted transitions or fillers. These self-contained gags provide comedic relief, frequently highlighting Jon Arbuckle's disastrous romantic outings or the adorable mischief of the kitten Nermal, adding variety without disrupting the main storyline rhythm. In the original airings, quickies were interspersed strategically, often two or three per episode, to sustain pacing in both the half-hour and occasional hour-long blocks. Episodes open with the signature theme song, "Friends Are There," featuring animated sequences of the characters and rolling credits to set a lively tone. They conclude with a final quickie or tag, delivering a punchline from the Garfield side or a brief moral from U.S. Acres, reinforcing the episode's humorous or light didactic elements. This format emphasizes brevity and alternation, allowing the show to deliver multiple laughs efficiently while adhering to Saturday morning television conventions.

Segments

Garfield

The Garfield segments in Garfield and Friends are primarily set in the suburban home of Jon Arbuckle, centering on the orange tabby cat Garfield's signature traits of gluttony, laziness, and penchant for mischief as he navigates daily life with his owner and pet dog Odie. These stories draw directly from the humor of Jim Davis's comic strip, emphasizing Garfield's relentless pursuit of comfort and indulgence in a mundane domestic environment. Recurring plots frequently involve Garfield's elaborate schemes to secure food, with a particular obsession for leading to comedic capers like raiding the or manipulating into cooking large meals. Another staple is Garfield's torment of Odie, the dim-witted but affectionate , through pranks such as kicking him off tables or blaming him for household mishaps, often escalating into chases around the house. Interactions with external elements, like 's disastrous dates—where Garfield sabotages romantic evenings by interrupting with demands for attention or food—or the arrival of the adorable Nermal, whom Garfield views as a rival and tries to mail away, add layers of relational comedy to the mix. The humor style is defined by Garfield's , sarcastic inner narration, voiced with a low, monotone drawl that underscores his cynical worldview and provides ironic commentary on the absurdity of suburban routines. This is complemented by in Garfield's antics with Odie, such as exaggerated falls or props-based gags, and a gentle of everyday domestic life, poking fun at pet ownership, failed self-improvement, and human-animal dynamics without venturing into mean-spirited territory. In the early seasons, the segments stayed faithful to the static, observational style of the comic strips, focusing on short, self-contained vignettes of laziness and indulgence. Later seasons introduced more dynamic adventure elements, such as Garfield embarking on outdoor escapades or fantastical daydreams, expanding the scope while retaining the core themes of and . Notable recurring gags highlight Garfield's aversion to responsibility, including his repeated diet failures where he cheats almost immediately with binges, and fake illnesses—complete with theatrical symptoms—to dodge baths, vet visits, or helping with chores.

U.S. Acres

The U.S. Acres segments of Garfield and Friends are based on Jim Davis' short-lived of the same name and are set in a barnyard on a rural , where anthropomorphic characters engage in comedic scenarios. The is owned by Orson the , who leads a gang of farm s including a cowardly named Wade and a prankster rooster named , with the stories emphasizing and humorous mishaps during farm chores. These seven-minute segments alternate with Garfield stories, typically running about four minutes in length during the show's early seasons. The humor in derives from ensemble interactions among the animals, often parodying literature and television tropes through Orson's bookish daydreams, such as fantasies or literary adventures, contrasted with Wade's exaggerated fears and Roy's disruptive pranks, while the sheep provides bossy authority. Notable elements include Orson's role as a bookworm who frequently escapes into imaginative worlds inspired by his reading, and the innocent duo of Booker and Sheldon, who add youthful naivety to the farm's chaos. Some critical reception found the barnyard antics less engaging than the Garfield segments.

Production

Development

Following the immense success of the Garfield comic strip, which debuted on June 19, 1978, and quickly became one of the most widely syndicated strips in the world, creator Jim Davis expanded the franchise into television animation. Davis, through his company Paws, Inc. founded in 1981, had already produced a series of successful primetime Garfield specials starting in 1982, which aired on CBS and demonstrated the character's potential for animated adaptation. Building on this momentum, Davis developed Garfield and Friends as a regular series to capitalize on the character's popularity while introducing elements from his newer comic strip, U.S. Acres, launched in 1986, to create dual appeal for a broader family audience. The decision to alternate segments between Garfield stories and adventures was a key structural choice aimed at filling the half-hour format and diversifying content, drawing from Davis's farm-themed strip to complement the lasagna-loving cat's suburban antics. For animation, was selected as the production studio, having established expertise with the Garfield specials since 1984's , where founder leveraged his background in animations to maintain consistent style and quality. This partnership ensured a seamless transition from specials to series production under Davis's oversight. Garfield and Friends premiered on on September 17, 1988, as part of the network's Saturday morning children's lineup, amid a surge in family-oriented animated programming during the late . 's commitment reflected the era's emphasis on wholesome, merchandisable content, with the initial season ordered at 13 episodes to test audience reception while leveraging Garfield's established fanbase from and specials.

Animation and Staff

Garfield and Friends was animated using traditional 2D techniques by Productions as the primary studio, with overseas animation assistance provided by Company. The style emphasized the simplicity and expressiveness of Jim Davis's original comic strips, employing to achieve cost-effective production suitable for a weekly Saturday morning series. Key production staff included executive producer Jim Davis, who oversaw the adaptation of his comic properties; co-producer and head writer , responsible for scripting that preserved the characters' humor; and executive producer , involved from the Garfield specials onward. Directors such as , founder of , contributed to guiding the visual storytelling, drawing from his experience with prior Garfield projects. The production pipeline began with scriptwriting rooted in gags, expanded into multi-segment episodes, followed by storyboarding to alternate between and segments for rhythmic pacing. focused on integrating voice performances to enhance character personalities, with recording sessions capturing the dry wit of and the barnyard ensemble. A primary challenge was balancing fidelity to the source comics' concise humor with the demands of television , requiring narrative expansion without diluting the original tone; the show maintained a production rate of 13 episodes for its debut season to meet CBS's schedule.

Cancellation

Garfield and Friends aired for seven seasons on from September 17, 1988, to December 10, 1994, concluding with the episode "The Ocean Blue." The series' cancellation was primarily driven by the declining ratings of the U.S. Acres segments, which prompted producers to replace them with all-Garfield episodes beginning in season 6 to boost viewership. Network factors also played a significant role, as began scaling back its lineup in the early 1990s amid intense competition from , which had launched in 1990 and captured a larger share of the children's audience with popular shows like . Additionally, rising production costs for animated series in the 1990s, including labor-intensive cel , contributed to the decision to end new episodes, as networks prioritized cost-effective programming. Creator Jim Davis opted to conclude the series rather than risk diluting the brand through continued production under changing market conditions, with no immediate revival attempts until subsequent Garfield media projects in the late 1990s and . Following cancellation, the show transitioned to immediate reruns in syndication, capitalizing on its strong performance in that market to sustain popularity without new content costs.

Voice Cast and Characters

Garfield Characters

The central character of the Garfield segments is Garfield, an anthropomorphic orange tabby cat known for his laziness, sarcasm, cynicism, and obsession with lasagna and sleep. Voiced by Lorenzo Music throughout the series, Garfield frequently engages in schemes to avoid exercise or work, often at the expense of his housemates. His unchanging cynical personality provides the comedic core, with no significant character arcs or growth over the run of the show. Garfield's owner, , is a hapless, nerdy who lives in a suburban home with his pets. Voiced by Thom Huge, is perpetually optimistic despite repeated failures in his professional life and disastrous attempts at dating, which often serve as setups for Garfield's mocking commentary. Like Garfield, Jon exhibits no major development, maintaining his bumbling demeanor as a foil to the cat's wit. Odie, the dim-witted but loyal yellow , rounds out the core household trio. Voiced by , Odie is frequently the innocent victim of Garfield's pranks, such as being kicked off the table or chased around the house, yet he remains unwaveringly affectionate toward both Garfield and Jon. His simple-minded enthusiasm contrasts Garfield's sarcasm, contributing to the segments' humor without any evolving backstory or traits. Supporting characters add occasional variety to the suburban setting. Nermal, a cute gray kitten and Garfield's self-proclaimed rival, is voiced by and often taunts by boasting about his adorability, prompting the older cat's jealous ire. Arlene serves as 's occasional love interest, a pink-furred female cat with whom he shares flirtatious but sporadic interactions, highlighting his rare softer side amid their banter. Voiced by . Pooky, 's well-worn stuffed , acts as his silent confidant, frequently appearing in tender or humorous moments where consults or cuddles the toy for comfort. These secondary figures appear intermittently, reinforcing the static dynamics of the main cast without introducing developmental changes.

U.S. Acres Characters

The U.S. Acres segments of Garfield and Friends feature an ensemble of anthropomorphic farm animals living on Orson's Farm, where they navigate daily chores, daydreams, and mishaps with little to no human involvement. The group dynamics revolve around Orson's efforts to lead and impose order, often thwarted by the prankster tendencies of and the bickering between key members, creating a contrast to the more domestic focus of the Garfield stories. Orson Pig, the pink pig and self-appointed leader of the farm, is an intellectual and avid reader whose daydreams—fueled by books and television—frequently lead to elaborate fantasies or problem-solving schemes. Voiced by , Orson embodies a thoughtful, sometimes overly imaginative who tries to guide his barnyard companions toward productivity and harmony. Wade Duck, a yellow duck with a penchant for exaggeration, is notoriously cowardly and hypochondriacal, plagued by numerous phobias that amplify even minor threats into full-blown panics. Howard Morris provides Wade's voice, capturing the character's neurotic, whiny demeanor through a distinctive, high-pitched delivery. Roy Rooster, the brash white rooster, serves as the farm's chief mischief-maker, constantly scheming pranks and causing chaos among his peers with his loud, self-centered antics. Thom Huge voices Roy, infusing the role with a cocky, energetic tone that highlights his role as Orson's foil and the group's agitator. Lanolin Sheep, a woolly ewe and Roy's frequent adversary, is bossy and short-tempered, often clashing with the rooster over farm responsibilities while asserting her no-nonsense authority. Julie Payne lends her voice to Lanolin, emphasizing the character's stern, irritable personality through sharp, commanding inflections. Among the younger residents, Booker and Sheldon are a pair of chicks who add youthful energy to the farm; Booker, the hatched chick, is curious and adventurous, while Sheldon remains unhatched inside his eggshell, offering wry commentary from within. Both are voiced by , whose versatile performance brings out their sibling-like banter and innocence. The farm's interactions emphasize comedic rivalries and reluctant teamwork, such as Orson's repeated but futile attempts at leadership amid Roy's disruptions and Lanolin's heated arguments with Roy, fostering a lively, self-contained barnyard community.
