If you love Garfield, then this is the perfect DVD for you. I found this DVD a couple of years ago, and just recently bought a copy for myself. There is actually four or five volumes in this collection. Do you remember getting up on Saturday mornings, and watching the morning cartoon? I loved Garfield, and I was so sad when it was no longer being show on tv. How about the farm where Orson the pig and Roy the rooster lives? Yes, of course! They are on this collection too. If you love Garfield, then you must have this DVD! I highly recommend buying!

I got this DVD a while ago and have discovered that it is not a waste of money. Garfield has got to be my favourite cartoon of all cartoons and Orson's Farm isn't that much worse. Garfield is so funny with his lazy life eating, sleeping, annoying dogs and the mailman. Odie and Jon are also great with Odie slurrping all the time and Jon doing funny things. This is a great collection of Garfield if you like cartoons. You will not be able to not laugh if you watch this whether your a kid or and adult.

I have very fond memories of watching this show as a kid so I recently figured I'd buy the DVD for the sake of nostalgia. This show is just as funny and charming, if not more so, than it was to me years ago. I don't think I can name any other show, movie, book, etc. that has done that before. An all-around enjoyable show for all ages.

I feel I should also mention the lack of special features. No reason to deter you from enjoying these DVDs, though.

The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, however, is that for some insane reason they replaced the beloved theme song with some annoying little number that seems to drag on far too long. Other than that everything's great. But that's annoying. Just... annoying.

My favorite characters of Garfield and Friends are Garfield, Jon and Odie. Two characters I can defintely relate too Jon and Garfield. Everytime I watch the cartoon, I can definitely relate to is Garfield and Jon. I'm like the lazy, lovable, hungry, geeky, nerdy guy, who can't get a date. This is my favorite cartoon of all-time, because these are real people with real problems. You don't see this in cartoons. Garfield is different than any cat and he doesn't go by the book like any other cats, makes me want to buy a cat myself. Garfield is like human in a cat suit. When I was in Junior High I saw Garfield and Friends a couple times I was pratically hooked. I feel like I can relate to Jon and Garfield. Garfield and Jon are like Buffy the Vampire Slayer Xander Harris, American Pie Jim, Kevin and Oz, The King of Queens Doug Heffernan and Spence Ulchin and Everybody Loves Raymond Ray Barone.

I have always been offended by cartoons that revolve around the suffering of cats. It may interest the cat hating writers of "Tom and Jerry," "Itchy and Scratchy," and "Sylvester and Tweety" to know that during certain plagues, mice wiped out frighteningly huge numbers of people. If it had not been for cats, the human race may not have survived these plagues. Well, that said, this dvd box set of Garfield is a wonderful addition to any dvd library. If you are reading this, you probably don't need me to tell you that the story revolves around a cat named Garfield who loves lasagna. (Not to mention getting the better of his owner John.) What makes this cartoon so wonderful is that it really does offer insight into what may be going through the mind of a cat. Obviously, while Garfield hears John and understands what he is saying, John can not hear Garfield's comments. (So we have kind of a Shakespeare technique. Virutally all of Garfield's comments are like an 'aside' in Shakespeare. While the audience hears the 'asides' of the character, the other characters on stage do not. Garfield's ways kind of allow us to realize that our cats may very well think that they run the show, and that we are their servants so to speak. I could go on and on, but there is no need for that. Some standout episodes are: "Peace and Quiet" where Garfield is just trying to get some rest which proves impossible, "Fraidy Cat" where Garfield and Odie get really scared watching a monster movie, "Good Mousekeeping" where Garfield uses his intelligence to get rid of mice, "Up A Tree" where Garfield is jealous of another cat Nermal, "Cabin Fever" where Garfield and Odie are trapped in cabin without food, "Magic Mutt" where Garfield uses his intelligence to outsmart a dog, "Green Thumbs Down" where John decided to beat food prices by planting a garden, "Rip Van Kitty" where Garfield dreams that he has napped for 20 years, "Heatwave Holiday" where Garfield, John, and Odie unknowingly start Christmas in July, and "Maine Course" where Garfield, John, and Odie DO NOT have the heart to eat a lobster that was sent to them. Moving on, the "U.S. Acres" cartoon is an additional delight. If you are reading this, you probably already know about the characters. (Orson Pig, the level headed leader, but now and then gets caught up in his books, Roy Roster, who likes practical jokes, but doesn't want anyone to really get hurt, and Wade Duck, who is really paranoid, but does rise above his fears in important matters. This is a great cartoon in that while they have their disputes, they really don't want anyone to be hurt. (They are in a sense like normal friends.) Some standouts include "Wanted Wade," where poor Wade accidentally tears the tag off of a pillow and is frightened that he will go to jail for it, "Return of Power Pig," where miscommunication of an event leads Orson and others to believe that a monster has invaded the farm, "Keeping Cool," where Bo Sheep defeats Orson's bully brothers by 'just stayin cool,' "Shy Fly Guy," where Wade is determined to overcome his fear of flying, "Goody Go Round," where Orson has to teach everyone about sharing, and "Double Oh Orson" where Orson reads a spy book and sees himself and his friends as the characters. (Even after he puts the book down.) This dvd box set is a MUST for anyone who loves cats as well as someone who would like to see a nice cartoon where different characters remain friends despite their differences. KUDOS TO JIM DAVIS! No thanks whatsoever to Jerry, Tweety, or Itchy.

I used to watch cartoons on Saturday all the time when I was a little boy. There was just so many of them that made me feel so wonderful. While many of them have been gone but not forgotten, there have been some of them that are based on those looney funnies. Garfield was one of them. Although today you just can't seem to fiind him on television anymore, his comics keep on meowing for more. But back in the 1980's, Garfield & Friends was a very popular cartoon series on CBS in the Saturday morning blocks that was very popular. The series which ran for a very long time has been a staple on the DVD market for a year, which brings a lasanga-loving feline his just deserts.

Garfield & Friends Volume 1, is a reflection of Garfield and his beginnings as a Saturday Morning cartoon. With his antics about and against Odie, Nermal and others, it is amazing just how funny the series was. There were just so many great cartoon episodes that just captured the imagination on his own, and with the addition of the farm antics of Orson Pig and pals with the lesser-known U.S. Acres. I loved so many of these classic cartoons like Nothing To Sneeze At, where Garfield is seriously allergic to a horrific plad coat Jon has, Peace and Quiet, which the somewhat annoying Binky The Clown has maintained a disturbance to Garfield and his hopeful slumbering, and Identity Crisis, that places Garfield in a probable problem from a dog catcher who thinks Garfield is a dog by his impersination of a barking canine, to just name a few.

The surprising thing is that there just aren't anymore Saturday morning cartoons that still keep the humorgoing anymore. Most of it is where you's eith have to go to cable, or sit and watch boring Saturday Morning news programs. Garfield and Friends Volume 1, is a great buy for anybody who is a fan of our favorite fat feline. This classic series is still as funny as it was made years ago.

Fun & Enjoyment: B 1/2+

Overall: B

At first, I picked this DVD for my 5 years old cousin. But when I watched this cartoon film with him, I found it really entertaining and fun. :D This is a great movie for the whole family! Classic and simple, yet fun!

To say that I am a big fan of Garfield the cat would be a gross understatement. I grew up on the fat tabby's antics for over twenty years. I loved the comic strips, and even more so the cartoon series "Garfield and Friends". I recently rented the first volume "Garfield and Friends". The fat cat still makes me laugh after all these years.

My favorite episodes from season one has to be:
"Best in Show" - Garfield enters into a cat show and has to go up against Nermal, the world's cutest kitten. I just love Nermal. He is so annoying but hilarious when he gets Garfield's goat.
"Identity Crisis" - Garfield, a neighborhood dog, and a rat decides to try their hand at impersonating one another, and ends up confusing a local dog catcher.
"Up a Tree" - Nermal pays another visit to Jon and Garfield. After getting kicked out of the house, Garfield goes climbs a tree.
"Tapioca Pudding Day" - my favorite U.S Acres cartoon.
"Good Sportsmanship" - I think that is what it is called. The gang decides to play pigball but unbeknownst to the gang, Roy secretly changes the rules. Non-stop laughs.

No matter how old I am, I still find myself greatly amused by Garfield and his friends. "Garfield and Friends" is good clean fun for anyone, young or old.

Finally a good enough show to be realeased on DVD. These shows are classic ones that my dad used to watch when he was a kid. Me and my friend used to love to watch this show when it used to be on at 6:30 in the morning on a local channel. Then they took it off. But now, it's finally realeased on DVD.

AS with so many others, we idolized this show as part of the Saturday morning lineup of its day. From 1988 until 1995 we relished with too much lasagna and ravioli while fearing giant radioactive mutant guppies. However, I have noticed one carefully edited part on one episode. On the episode "Brain Boy," Jon and the guys are going to visit Jon's cousin Al. Jon asks, "How did you guys learn to behave?" It then cuts to Odie tied up with the back seatbelt. Originally, Garfield quipped: "effective use of seatbelts." Yet on this official DVD release, it has been edited out completely. Could this have been from complaints from parents so that their kids would not use seatbelts in such a fashion? Possibly. So far, this has been my only quibble with the series. Everything else (video transfer, features, scene access, etc) is perfect although I wish they kept Orson's segments as "U.S. Acres" and not changed it back to "Orson's Farm."

Now we can see how it all began with the 1st season of Garfield and friends.

Some have quickies of the most recent comics!
I hope you enjoy it as well. Don't panic there is more to come!
Overall it is well done. It is like going back in time to the late 1980s.

Though labelled as a Saturday Morning show, Garfield and Friends was shown on weekday evenings over here. Obviously, as I've always been a Garfield fan, I loved the show when I was a kid but somehow I seemed to enjoy it more as a 24-year-old.

As proven before with the Garfield TV Specials, Jim Davis' big-eyed and colorful animation translates well to TV and it looks like his comic-strip has magically come to life. Lorenzo Music (sounding so much like Bill Murray) is brilliant as Garfield and acts out his boredom, deadpan humor and sarcasm perfectly.

U.S. Acres (or Orson's Farm as it was called here, as on this DVD) is also great, it's a shame there's no comic-strip of it. The characters, with the exception of the highly annoying Roy, are very cute and I just love Wade the cowardly duck. And, is it just me, or does Bo sound and behave exactly like Steve Zahn.

As you probably know, the show is a sandwich of two 8-minute Garfield shorts with an Orson's Farm in the middle. There are often a couple of 30-second 'quickies' to keep us that extra bit amused. Garfield and Friends is frequently laugh-out-loud hilarious and it's easy to see where later TV shows like The Simpsons or Family Guy take their cue from. It may not have been made for Prime Time but Garfield and Friends set some kind of standard for exactly how funny a 30-minute animated show should be.

I must also mention that the show has a constant musical score from beginning to end that is loads of fun and there is at least one song per episode too.

The DVDs are in 1.33:1 full frame, as originally drawn with Dolby Mono sound. But don't be fooled, the show looks and sounds great. The single extra feature in the whole set is a trailer for the (absolutely awful) Garfield movie that runs for less than a minute.

When people talk about the animation revival of the late 1980s-early 90s, they usually mention such things as THE SIMPSONS, THE LITTLE MERMAID, ALADDIN, and ROGER RABBIT, but few but the fans will mention GARFIELD AND FRIENDS in the same breath as they should.

This show brought REAL WIT, LAUGHS, and FUN back into television animation along with our yellow, bug-eyed friends from Springfield. As a child of Bullwinkle, the Flintstones, and Fat Albert, I had LONG given up on cartoons by that time until a young lady I was dating in 1991 turned me on to GAF and I was hooked! Thank goodness the goody twoshoes children's advocate watchdog groups that DESTROYED cartoons in the late 70s and early 80s and "Barneyized" the genre were asleep at the wheel on this one!

Now back to this DVD. Later fans of the show WILL find the original theme song (NOT the amusing "We're ready to party we're ready/I hope you bring lots of spaghetti") bizarre and "US Acres" is titled "Orson's Farm" in these early episodes. But it's just as knee-slapping hardy-hoo-har-har fun as the later episodes. Loads of good stuff. Garfield mailing the annoying Nermal to Abu-Dhabi, Binky the clown annoying the hell out of everybody, Clueless Jon unsuccessfully trying to find love, Garfield sickened by the over-affectionate Odie (although an episode where Garfield sympathizes with the brainless pooch when he is bullied is rather touching), plus our main cat's never ending search for sleep, lasagna, and more lasagna are all in place, yet the series would never "jump the shark."

Looking forward to future volumes with the classics KUNG FU CREATURES ON THE RAMPAGE, HOW TO BE A DISC JOCKEY, the US Acres episode that spoofs Poe's "The Raven", etc. All ages can gather around the tube as with Bullwinkle and the best of the Hanna-Barbarians and enjoy this set! Long live Jim Davis!

This DVD is GREAT. It is classic Garfield. It has humor and adventure. This is a classic Saturday morning cartoon series. This is a great DVD for everyone. This series is way better than those cartoons that are out today.

Garfield and Friends was always one of the funniest cartoons on TV when I was a young kid. In fact, aside from your Looney Tunes, your Animaniacs and your Fairly Oddparents, I think it's one of the funniest cartoons ever.
There are a number of "Quickies" in this show that are short jokes, most of which are animated versions of actual comic strips, and at the show's midpoint, there is a cartoon originally called "Orson's Farm" and later called "U. S. Acres," featuring a number of unique and amusing characters. Orson; the pig voice of reason and the cultured one, Wade the eternal scaredy-cat duck, Roy the trick-playing rooster, Sheldon, the walking egg whose legs are the only part of him that are hatched, but who somehow has all manner of appliances in his shell, and so on and so forth. These characters each have their own unique behavior patterns, but are funniest when some running-gag is introduced to their lives or when making fun of public service announcements (which is what I choose to interpret large parts of this cartoon as.) However, virtually every time Orson and Friends come on, they wind up in a musical number, many of which are really quite trite. However, I'm going to dismiss even many of these for a reason I will later outline.
The real meat of the show is Garfield himself, and he, Odie and Jon (and occasionally a guest-character or several) occupy two thirds of the show's longer segments. Garfield and his supporting cast are quick with a joke and good at coming up with funny coincidences and/or well thought out cartoon gags a few times every minute, which may not seem like much where sheer volume is concerned, but when Garfield does it, it feels classy.
Many of Garfield's supporting characters get by largely on the strength of either a light-hearted parody (Cactus Jake,) a modified running-gag (Binky) or else an innocence that leads to them being funny in Garfield context or developing a funny joke without realizing it (Nermal.)
However, the most funny thing about Garfield and Friends is easily its tongue-in-cheek parodies of just about everything that occurred before and during the 80s. Garfield was the master of the tongue-in-cheek parody. His show showcased rather frequently concepts that were already very popular in animated cartoon shows (such as the public service announcement, the talent show, the cowboy episodes and so forth,) but these concepts, while only mildly interesting in something like The Flintstones or Scooby-Doo, are truly hilarious in Garfield because Garfield knows how trite these concepts are, smugly professes that, then uses them anyway and in some cases, even apologizes to the audience. One that really stands out in my mind is when a half-staggering man tells Garfield, Jon and Odie to "walk this way" (another popular cartoon cliche of the time,) and he responds by looking right at the screen and saying "Don't worry, folks. We're not gonna do that stupid joke." I laugh every time I think about that. Making fun of cliches is something I've always found wonderfully amusing. I loved it in MST3K, I loved it in the Simpsons, and I love it in Garfield.
The quiet cynicism with which Garfield pulls off this lost art of making fun of the cliches appearing in one's own animated series sets a beautiful mood for humor, and when you think about it, sort of reminds you of a real cat's attitude. This is Garfield's greatest strength and the reason I have excused so much of the Triteness of U. S. Acres.
"Garfield and Friends; Volume 1" contains slightly more than one season of this wonderful show and introduces many of the characters that made the series so funny. Garfield, Binky, Odie, Jon, Nermal, Cactus Jake, Liz and more all appear herein, perfectly faithful to the spirit of the comic strip, and in my opinion, way better than the movie.
I do have one gripe, however. During the first two seasons of this show, the theme song was rather annoying (amusing, but annoying if heard more than once in the same afternoon.) Still, it's worth it to get to see these great episodes again. I hope you like them as much as I did.

Now this is teeeeeeerific!
The DVD is good and you know, I thing in the black book Jon says to Garfield, 'Garfield you have this never give it back to me no matter howc hard I insist DON'T Give it back to me.
But then Jon wants it back Garfield does it but Jon says no Garfield.
That happens again and Garfield says MAKE UP YOUR MIND!
There are other funny moments. I loved it.

this dvd is worth your money the only thing bad about it is that the u.s. acres are not that funny and the theme song gets really annoying but i always pass through them so don't listen to anyone who says it stinks

Like so many other life-long Garfield fans I grew up watching the awesome "Garfield & Friends" every Saturday morning. I was always sad when the episode ended, but now you can have hours of classic Garfield episodes on dvd! I can hardly wait for volume 2 to be released! While the theme song is very annoying & the "U.S. Acres" segments aren't as entertaining as Garfield, this is still a great collection for kids & adults! My 8-year-old niece recently watched the Garfield movie with Bill Murray but I wanted her to experience the classic Garfield that stayed true to Jim Davis' comics so I let her see a few episodes of "Garfield & Friends" & now she loves it almost as much as me! I highly recommend this & all future "Garfield & Friends" dvd volumes as well as the Garfield Holiday special that's being released soon! It's good clean entertainment for the whole family to enjoy!

Reviewer of excellent movies, I have reviewed the best picture the world has seen, I've reviewed Academy Award Winner (Chicago), Best Picture, and (Cold Mountain), Best Actress Renee` Zellweger. I loved this movie! I Think every parent should let their kid in on this fun learning experience that makes everyone see bright colors! See My Reviews on Chicago and Cold Mountain!

ONLY THE BEST MOVIE EVER! GARFIELD IS LOVEABLE, SWEET, AND FUNNY! THE REVIEWR OF COLD MOUNTAIN, AND CHICAGO HAS HIS FAVORITE MOVIE EVER! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FOR YOUR CHILD, EVEN IF YOU HAT GARFIELD, LIKE MY MOM, THIS MOVIE MADE HER END UP LIKING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************" STARS!

Whether you grew up watching the Saturday morning cartoon like I did, or you just jumped in the Garfield lovers bandwagon...this dvd will NOT disappoint. Maybe except the theme song. I used to watch Garfield and Friends faithfully every Saturday morning, now my 4 year old son watches it EVERY morning. It doesn't bother me one bit. I just pull up a chair and start laughing!

Finally a good DVD full of Grafield. I give it 4 stars because US Acres isn't very funny. Plus The theme song is sure to make u blow up after 3 times of hearing it because it is VERY anoying. Well the garfield parts are off the hizzle for shizzle.

Thisis a great show and finally it's on DVD! I'm a 90's child so this DVD set was a breath of fresh air. The Garfield and Friends I'm used to was shorter and was different. Imagaine my surprise when I watched this and I heard a different theme song and discovered just how many "quickies" there were in the orginal broadcast! I had to watch all the episodes straight!

HOWEVER, I do have some gripes about this DVD set. Hence why I gave it a 3 rating. First off, the menus for these DVD set are all the same and there is no hint of what disc you're on. This is a none issue to many people but for someone like me who has a multiple disc DVD player and pops in an entire DVD set, it's a minor gripe. If I want a specific episode, I don't know if I'm at the right disc until I comb through the episode selection screen and find it. A simple "Disc 1" somewhere in the menu would have sufficed.

The second issue I have is the transfer. I picture isn't to great compared to DVD standards and is quite obvious when you pause the screen as some of the lines are blurry. Again, a minor gripe since it's not too noticeable during viewing.

The last issue is the amount of extras (or the lack thereof to be exact). There is no extras on these DVDs. Actually, that's not true. On the last disc, there is the trailer for the new Garfield Live Action movie. The reason to get DVDs (other than having your favorite show, of course) is for the extras. Something a little more like an interview with Jim Davis, sketches, or somethiung would have been nice.

It's great seeing this on DVD. What's even better is that the DVDs are exactly how the show was originally when it aired on CBS! Forget about the syndicated run that jumps from channel to channel and is currently on Toon Disney. That is nowhere near complete.

Instead of the syndication run where you see this format:
generic "We're ready to party" theme
Garfield episode
US Acres episode
Garfield quickie
generic "We're ready to party" closing theme,

the ORIGINAL format is completely restored on the DVDs:
Garfield quickie
"Friends are there" opening theme song ("we're ready to party" didn't come until a couple seasons later, but is the only theme song that is in the syndication run, even when they are showing the older episodes!!!!)
Garfield Episode
Orson's Farm quicke (original title cards have also been restored)
Orson's Farm episode
Garfield episode
Garfield quickie (sometimes a "Screaming with Binky")
"friends are there" closing theme

So that's 3 quickies instead of 1, which means MUCH footage is lost on the syndicated run! Plus, the syndicated run apparantly often has the wrong credits, since there were a lot of guest voices on the show from time to time and they choose to use that same generic "we're ready to party" closing theme song for EVERY episode.

Instead of watching it this way, get the DVDs. You'll be glad you did!

This is a classic cartoon series with unusually clever comedy for a saturday morning kids show. Garfield has this nonshalant casual charm, which is an uncommon source for comedy even among more mature t.v. programs and movies. Unlike a lot of popular kids cartoons that are built to provide drama for children (e.g. Pokemon and its battles, Yu-Gi-Oh and its battles), this cartoon is about the sutle comedic muse of Garfield the cat.
I used to watch this cartoon every morning while I ate breakfast. I have to get to work so much earlier now so there is nothing on except for those both surprisly hypnotic and lame infomercials while I'm eating breakfast. The dvd's let me enjoy a quick smile anytime I want.
I'm looking forward to the release of the release of the other seasons.

I am so glad that they put these shows on DVD! I used to get up early on Saturdays to watch Garfield and Friends and Looney Toones. They are great, classic cartoons, much better than anything created recently. I don't really like the little packages that the DVD's are in. One big one would have been sturdier, but the shows are worth the full 5 stars.

I will be one of the first ones in line to get this DVD set. However, I am bitterly disappointed that my all time favorite episode, Picnic Panic (the one with all the singing and the ants), is not included in this round. Maybe next time.

Finally!!!!! This is great!! I always wanted Garfield and Friends on DVD!! and now my dream has come true. I just got this and it's great. The way the show goes is,

Bonus Material: Trailer for Garfield Movie

So that is what is going to be on the 3 Dvd's. I suggest that you get the DVD the day it comes out

This IS Garfield. From the dull (in a good way) voice to the exceptional storylines, this is the Garfield that made the comic strip popular again. I give credit to Bill Murray for voicing the movie version of the fat cat, but NOBODY can top Lorenzo Music's voice work in the animated cartoon.

Each episode is comprised of one 10 minute Garfield toon, followed by a 10 minute toon consisting of Garfield's Farm Animal Friends, and topped off by a 3-5 minute Garfield "quickie". All of which are very funny and with some hidden, and more "adult" humor, grown-ups can enjoy this as well.

I recommend anyone who liked this show in their youth to at least rent it to see if they like it. I'm sure you will, if you loved the show when it was in syndication.

It's great to see that a show like Garfield and Friends is coming to DVD. I have missed this show and am glad to be able to enjoy Garfield and Odie in what was an underrated Saturday morning cartoon
