The Garfield Show
The Garfield Show (French: Garfield & Cie, lit. 'Garfield & Co.') is an animated television series produced by French animation production company Dargaud Media and Paws, Inc. It is based on the American Garfield comic strip created by Jim Davis. The animated series focuses on a new series of adventures for the characters of Garfield, Odie, and their owner Jon Arbuckle, alongside staple characters from the strip and a number of unique additions for the program. Both Davis and producer Mark Evanier, who previously wrote episodes for the 1988 original cartoon animated series Garfield and Friends, co-wrote stories for the program, with the cast including Frank Welker, Wally Wingert, Julie Payne, Jason Marsden, and Gregg Berger. Welker and Berger had previously voiced various characters in Garfield and Friends.
The animated series premiered on 22 December 2008 in France as Garfield & Cie, in early 2009 in Japan as Gāfīrudo to shī, and on 2 November 2009 in the United States. It ran for five seasons, with its last episodes airing in the US on October 24, 2016; Evanier stated shortly afterward that it was on hiatus. On August 6, 2019, an untitled Nickelodeon series based on the Garfield comic strip was announced, seemingly ending any chances of The Garfield Show coming back.
The show features loose continuity and is set in a different universe to the previous Garfield cartoon series Garfield and Friends, which is occasionally referenced. Liz is now considered a main character and has an official relationship with Jon to reflect their current status in the comic strip. The Garfield Show also reestablishes Arlene as Garfield's potential love interest, as in the comic strip, (despite being advertised as a main character, her actual role in the series is rather minor). In addition, Garfield is now a talking character. Nevertheless, only other animals are usually able to understand him, although Jon and other humans sometimes can.
The Garfield Show also features many new characters that are part of the regular cast, such as Vito, a local Italian chef and restaurant owner whose cooking Garfield enjoys, and Harry, a stray cat who acts as both a friend and a nemesis to Garfield. Squeak, Garfield's mouse friend that lives in Jon's house, also appears, having previously in the comic strip, but now he brought his many relatives alongside to live with.
Development for The Garfield Show began in 2007 to coincide with the strip's 30th anniversary. Many crew members from the previous animated series based on Garfield that debuted in 1988 returned to work on The Garfield Show.
The series premiered in France on France 3 on 22 December 2008 and in Japan on NHK in early 2009.[citation needed]
The series also airing on Gulli since 25 October 2021 in France
English-language episodes started airing on Boomerang in the UK on 5 May 2009, and in the Middle East, Africa and Central and Eastern Europe on 7 November 2009.
