this video is terrible lmao, new Garfield video coming eventually though 🤯

Forget the "This was made for kids" excuse, this felt like an actual fever dream for me as a kid

Fun Fact: there’s a reason why the lip syncing is slightly delayed in some episodes. That reason being that the company behind the animation of the show (Dargaud Media) was founded in France. Because of this, the episodes were originally dubbed in French and were released in December 2008 on France 3, while the English dubbed episodes aired a year later on Cartoon Network and Boomerang (November 2009). Simply speaking, the lip sync delays weren’t because of laziness, time constraints or low budgets, but because of regional differences.

I'm having a huge mandela effect moment looking back at this show. When I was a kid I used to watch Garfield a TON back when they aired it back on Cartoon Network and then later when it was on Netflix. There are many moments from the show that still stick with me because of how many times I watched it. Recently I rewatched a few episodes on KZfaq after getting a few in recommended and I gotta say: I don't remember like- at ALL the show looking just so.... cheap lol. The voice acting holds up but seeing the animation as an adult feels so uncanny, like I swear the animation wasn't THIS bad when I first watched it.

The Garfield Show is what I'd like to call a "Wind-down show". Perfect to wind down to and just enjoy for its simplistic charm. Not all shows need to be phenomenally deep or message-driven, and this show knows it. Its main theme slaps so hard.

I remember I used to love the Garfield show when I was like 5! The memories

Looking at the show now, I am kinda like "how did I like that horrible CGI", but as a child I suppose it was fine. It wasn't necessarly funny, but entertaining for reasons.

This show was the closest to a YTP on television.

I used to watch this show when I was like 4 or 5 and looking back on it, it’s REALLY weird. Some episodes just felt so surreal to me like that one with the phone world. What the hell was that? Still though, this show In my opinion does have its moments. It’s actually pretty funny at times ngl. This brings back many memories.

I don’t really see Chris Pratt as Mario, but I can see him making a pretty decent Garfield

I feel that Garfield got his popularity due to 2 facts: 1 there wasn't any comic strip like Garfield back in the 70's so he got a huge amount of followers just for that. And 2 he is just so relatable and marketable in so many ways, you can really have any of Garfield treats into you and the way he is desing give him a huge play for free merchandise, as Jim Davis himself intended from the start And of course now, the memes and internet culture made the character so versatile for different themes

I'll admit that most of my love for Garfield is because of nostalgia, but the comic strip always gets a smile out of me as an adult. But I agree, it's not laugh out loud funny. But the character being in my life us a constant comfort, especially now that hes in Nick All-Star Brawl.

Used to watch this all the time when I was 8, I still love it, its pretty good to my standards

i actually love this show, because it’s extremely nostalgic, and i feel that it’s a good show in general, but everyone has their opinions.

I still like Garfield as a character unironically. Im kinda sad how they dont really try with the character these days

The Garfield comic strips (compiled in books) made before the year 2000 were pretty good, but then the quality declined in the 2000s. Similar to the timeline of the decline of The Simpsons. Now, I'm not saying prime Garfield was as good as prime Simpsons, but there were lots of solid jokes in the older strips. And there were even a lot of genuinely touching moments too, like the story arc where Garfield looks for his mom (book 11, "Garfield Rolls On"), or when Garfield got lost and Jon went out to look for him (book 14, "Garfield Swallows his Pride"). There's even a notoriously scary arc where Garfield goes insane (book 20, "Garfield Takes up Space"). The humour in modern day Garfield strips is extremely lazy now, so I can see why no one likes Garfield anymore.

Used to watch this alot as a kid, never thought of how weird it was until i compared it to Garfield and Friends

The Garfield Show is actually how I discovered Garfield (and lasagna) and I actually loved it because it's bizarre but in a good way but I have absolutely no clue he had his own comic strip because I assumed he's a stand-alone cartoon character that doesn't have a franchise or something like that until I had a conversation with someone I know when I was probably around 7. She mentioned there's a comic of it and I was like "👀 For reals? Show me". I remember reading the comics for the first time thinking it's pretty hilarious (they're so hilariously gold that I'm sure it took a while for me to stop laughing) and I still enjoy Garfield to this day. Side note: I'm not even joking when I said TGS is how I learned the existence of Garfield and lasgana. Before I even first seen it in maybe 2010-11?, I legit never heard or seen of Garfield. I never even got into comics until after 2011. Same goes for lasagna as my family never took us to a Italian restaurant nor did they make lasagna at the time.

3:49 John:“this pizza tastes like cardboard”, cowboy hat guy: uh no, hour all meat special tastes like cardboard, this one tastes like styrofoam

This show came out when I was 15 and growing up with Garfield I was honestly kind of looking forward to it. However when I watch the first episode of the weird lasagna aliens or whatever, all I can think about is how odd the animation and aesthetic was…so what I would do whenever I would watch other episodes was to purposely look for animation errors since it was fun to see what managed to slip into the final release. A lot of lip syncing problems, things that just disappear in the next shot, objects that have no purpose being there. I’m sure people have scene or heard of the one scene that was aired unrendered and I can say that it made me laugh so hard when I saw on TV for the first time because it genuinely was unbelievable to me that something that noticeable wasn’t fixed.

Well since we’re talking about how weird the show is I’ll admit it: I…kinda used to have a tiny crush on Garfield when I was a kid-

This show is litteraly my childhood at its peak

The best way to describe this show is a parody of itself, everything in it seems intentionally lazily done and it seems as if every characters sole purpose is to go against garfield. The only way to truly enjoy this show is to watch it ironically because it feels like everything in the show was built to be treated ironically. if you want an actual garfield show which dosent feel like its a meme of itself then garfield and friends is the thing you should watch, it potrays the characters accurately and feels like an actual garfield show and not a parody of a garfield show.

I have ten year old family members who still watch this daily on repeat like a damn religion.

NOBODY LIKES TO BE HATED BY THE POPULATION

Why do I still somehow enjoy this show?

i remember always watching this show when i was a kid because it keeps airing in the TV in my free time. I don't really find the show funny or made me laugh out loud, but it's a pretty damn bizarre and entertaining to watch. If i didn't like what i'm seeing, i'll just switch the TV into different Cartoon channel, but Garfield Show is a must watch for me because the reason i state but looking back, it's does aged poorly especially with animation stand point, but i can't help to feel nostalgic seeing it

Hey all, I know this is different from what I usually upload, but I just thought it'd be fun to try covering something different for a one-off video! I probably won't do this much in the future because the vid got copyright claimed, since it's about a tv show. Regardless I hope you enjoyed the video! I'll have something gaming related out for my next vid, per the usual.

the original Garfield & Friends show is 10x more funnier than The Garfield Show. if you haven't given it a watch yet, I'd recommend it

6:00 This bit is beyond hilarious. XD

I loved the Garfield show as a kid, and watched so much of it, but I never got to see the amazing multi part movie-like things I recently started from the beginning and watched it all, and I really liked it

Yeah, I watched this show when I was younger, and like most other people here i like it for 1) nostalgia and 2) how it sometimes make you feel like your high af. It had some wack ass episodes.

The show at least gave the world the masterpiece of a song that is Go Away

BRO THIS VIDEO IS SO GOOD I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE IT ONLY HAD 9k Underrated KZfaqr right here

i recently watched the first 2 seasons of this show and it's so horribly unhinged that i can't help but love it

The Garfield Show looks like a video game cutscene turned into a show

8:12 "Who on planet Earth still unironically likes Garfield?" The Izzzyzzz video right underneath this one: 🗿

I grew up with The Garfield Show, and would always watch it before heading out to elementary school. As I got older, I decided to check out Garfield and Friends Show and man I gotta say, it’s 100x better than what I grew up with. Since every episode is split into 3 parts, the writing is a lot more cleaner and organized, not to mention that it’s 2D animation so everything isn’t wonky. Meanwhile, The Garfield Show has to work with 20 minutes per episode, and considering that the franchise is about a lazy cat who eats a lot and hates monday’s… It’s kinda hard to work with that, which is why there’s a lot of adventure episodes and “plot twists” to reach that 20 minute limit. So if you got free time in your schedule, I recommend watching Garfield and Friend’s show if you’re into the Garfield series :)

To be honest, I think Garfield before the 2000s was so much better, and I'm actually a teenager right now. Unlike everyone else, I grew up watching garfield and friends, not the garfield show (thankfully). I'm glad I wasn't exposed to modern garfield when I was 8. I just loved the comic strips, as well as garfield and friends. I have actually not even watched the garfield show, so when I saw a video of it out of context, I was so confused.

I like Nermal in Garfield and Friends but I don’t like him in the few episodes of The Garfield Show I’ve seen

The pizza guy’s name is vito

Garfield in one episode said “ I know where you live” 😂

fun fact: in s2ep9 in one of the parts near the tv part there is a scene that LITERALLY HAS THE ANIMATION PROGRESS, what i mean is it doesnt look finished and shows the unedited. idk what its called because idk how whatever they animate on works or what it is

4:52 the show is French so they probably only re-animate the dialogue to fit the English lip sync when they think it’s important

The whole thing looks like a PS2 cutscene.

I remember loving this show when I was 11. Heck, I've been rewatching it for the past 2 years as an adult and I still love it.

8:15 I have to admit, I do, because nostalgia is a very powerful thing.

"Who still likes Garfield Unironically" I thought People would be angry about that 🤔, I like Garfield

This man doesn't understand masterfully crafted masterpieces

I remember there being another show like this one. It's premise was basically Garfield and his friends ran some sort of movie studio.

I’m a teen and I still watch this. I’m binge watching it right now.

3:33 I can't fully remember, but I think his name is Vito

My favorite Episode is gotta be the "Against All Tides" arc. All narrated by the great Corey Burton, The modern voice of Captain Hook, just adds to the salty dog charm.

I love The Garfield Show it was my favorite show and still my favorite show! The humor is funny in my opinion!

i never watched this, but i watched a different garfield show and there was an episode where he baked a fruit cake and it grew bigger than the fucking house and chased him down the street in the middle of the night. basically an older version of that cake monster episode you talked about. turned it off and never watched it again, still traumatized

So we watched this show every day at lunch at my school in our classroom a few years back. I grew love for it and now it’s one of my favorite shows. I also love Garfield and friends, it’s great :)

Only episode, I remember was the one where Garfield stole stuff for my toy walrus

8:12 that seems like a very bold statement. I watched all the 1980’s specials around last Christmas and I liked them a lot and I’m going to continue watching them again every year, and i don’t like hardly anything on tv.

It's funny to see this show come back into resurgence. While I wasn't fortunate enough to grow up with the much better received Garfield and Friends, I do fond memories of this show. I just forgot just how it stemmed away from the source material to the extent that Dirk Dinkum's song exists.

Definitely had fond memories of this one .

I never get how they missed that animation error

This show introduced me to Garfield when i was a wee lad

remember that part in an episode where in a part of it THEY FORGOT TO RENDER IT OR EVEN NOT SHOW THE GUI OF THE SOFTWARE THEY USE TO MAKE IT!? AND JON FOR NO REASON HAS ONE OF THOSE SCREAMING CHICKEN TOYS.

Can we please go to Cheese Land?

I was obsessed with this show back in 2nd grade. I guess I was easy to entertain

Unpopular opinion, Garfield and friends best piece of Garfield media

I have a lot of nostalgia for it anf my mom even gave me a book that ran through an episode. Being the one where garfield gets a clock that can stop time and he abuses it. And yes, i still have it. But its in spanish

there was a episode i saw there was a error where it like shuts off all the color except john and garfield and a rubber chicken

The theme song SLAPS

I love how many times you didnt say the pizza guys names correctly.

But I’m not even a teen and I like Garfield…

Im not gonna lie, i actually though this show was okay.

Man I loved this show as a kid. I remember thinking it was pretty funny but I mainly watched it to see how weird it got. My favorite episodes were always the ones that went far outside of the realm of possibility (like TV shows coming to life or a lovesick AI taking over every electrical appliance in the house to try to kill the cast. Good times

There was (Now being older) Something i noticed, the creators used the same character models all of the time for background characters (Regardless if they spoke or not) I get kids might not have noticed this (Or didnt notice as much) But now watching it now being older (Or adults watching with their kids) I have noticed it alot

I always binge watched this show on Netflix, even the old movies I would watch multiple times, now that I look at it again, it was very weird lol.

I'm convinced this show is the origin of all the "weird" Garfield stuff on the internet, except maybe Lasagna Cat since that came a few years earlier. People saw this show as a kid, and then they started making weird stuff with Garfield when they became adults.

The music and sound effect are giving me ed edd eddy vibes

I do like the chapter episodes. Those have a story. And like Garfield fashion ,they have musical moments

I used to love this series In fact I rewatched it like 2 months ago

I remembered the show as a fever dream but as I get more used to the style I doesn’t feel like that anymore

Even when I was young I couldn’t stand this show for something. Like the actual writing and jokes where fine, but like the animation was so low budget that it was an eye sore to look at. I remember seeing different “characters” in the show, but they always re-used the same assets because I guess time or budget restraints. I’m sure other kids didn’t notice but especially seeing high quality shows like Regular Show and Adventure Time, than to immediately go to this, was a drop in quality. It baffles me too, considering Jimmy Neutron came out in the early 2000s and looked leagues better than this. Show should of just been 2d.

I also remember watching this show, and I find this more entertaining than the Scooby Doo shows.

The episode I remember the most from The Garfield Show was the one where Jon and company go looking for his old friend Lyman. I have met the guy who did the voice of Lyman in this episode. He is a Groucho Marx impersonator.

The lip-syncing as you mentioned is a bit weird, but I think it has to do with the show being produced in France.

my favorite episodes of the garfield show is when garfield goes to the school for witches to rescue odie and then have to fight a witch. the writing is actually above decent for the show and it’s never boring. there is an entire compilation across all 6 episodes that’s an hour and two minutes long

Before watching, I'm just gonna say that I loved this show growing up and was always excited to see it air on boomerang. I remember when it randomly got a new season that one time, I was exstatic! Ahh, good times... If only this show wasn't remembered nowadays for the insane animation error...

As weird as it is, I still genuinely like it.

you need to review fanboy and chum chum in order to complete the cgi saga

In season 4, why did they have to put Garfield in the most fantasy like situations, and why did they have to make it a musical

1. he didn't talk about the USA animation error 2. I'm litterly dieing from that "funny orange cat" at the end

Did you know people in the background on show scenes are frozen

This show came out when I was 9. It was one of my favorite shows. It was honestly stupid but I liked it for some reason. Lol

I only very recently went to rewatch this show and I don’t care what anybody says, I love it through and through for how unapologetically unhinged it is. To be fair, this show was like, my first introduction to Garfield as a whole (and thus being the groundwork of how I perceive Garfield) so that could explain why I’m biased towards it, but even so. It’s genuinely just an absolute ride and I love it

I used to watch it as a kid

You went wrong my dude. You should have went with the 80s and 90s classic Garfield and friends

I remember watching this on tv and thre was these long episodes garffield specials and remember likeing them more

This show is weird but I still love it so much that I’ve watched it over and over like 3 times

Unexpected Miss Muffet reference in Garfield years before Undertale, they where ahead of their time. Seriously though, this show was as told; watch it while I was bored. I remember watching the Halloween special before trick or treating but that's about my memory of this show.

kinda surprised he didn't talk about the unrendered scene remember that anyone?

Nobody likes to be
