"If you only watch one show, make it this one," Garfield quips in one of the opening credits. I'm inclined to agree. With three seasons of the show under their belts, Garfield's writers hit their stride with lines like, "If you don't like the show, My name's Heathcliffe" (a rival cartoon cat), and "Jest not with a craven duck." Volume four includes shows from the fourth and fifth season of "Garfield and Friends," but while many shows run out of steam before then, or morph and become "extreme," Garfield instead became self-referential, with Garfield frequently intervening in his own cartoon. Recurring characters complain about their bit parts and Garfield notes with nonchallant disinterest the recurring themes. There are bits of the opening animation that have been changed including, unfortunately, the initial scene of Garfield on the fence. The new bits don't synch with the song as well, but at least most of the shots survive, as well as the "party" opening theme. All of which makes Garfield gato nemero uno in the lineup of great cartoons.
Really Funny!
I have always loved Garfield and Friends and this DVD is just as funny as I remember them being when I was a kid. I can't wait until the next season comes out on DVD.
The show begins to take a downhill turn...
As much as I absolutely loved this series, volume 4 marks the beginning of the show's decline. These episodes repeat many of the same jokes found in the earlier episodes (from volumes 1-3), and the humor is much drier here. Overall, I was a bit disappointed. I'm still anxious to get my hands on volume 5, but primarily just to complete my collection. If you haven't seen volumes 1-3, I highly recommend them over this one!

What can you say. I didnt miss this show when I was in school. This show is a classic in every way. I of course have collected the prevoius volumes. this one features the last 9 episodes of season 6 and all season 7. A very good plus for me is that it fetures the spanish audio from the latin american version. Now those episodes that couldnt be seen on syndication ( that would be all of 'em in this volume) will be watched and enjoyed by all. Makes a great christmas present for all.

Ok...I am a big Garfield fan and I loved the Garfield Holiday celebrations DVD that came out last year because those were some of my all-time faves..but...while the toons on this DVD are very good I'd like to see it more in the $10 price range, especially considering you get some 9 hours of material on the Garfield and Friends boxed sets for just over $30 while this DVD is just two hours. Oh well...you get two 30 minute Garfield toons and one hour long toon along with a Strawberry Shortcake trailer.

Garfield, the newspaper cartoon strip by Jim Davis, was such a hit when adapted to occasional animated specials on CBS in the 1980s that the network built a Saturday morning series, Garfield and Friends, around the portly, sardonic cat. The new show, wrapped within its winning programming formula, also proved successful. Episodes of Garfield and Friends featured two eight-minute stories starring Garfield, the airhead pooch Odie, and their owner, bachelor Jon Arbuckle, that were joined by one short, delightful new cartoon called U.S. Acres, concerning the misadventures of a group of barnyard animals led by a clever pig called Orson. Garfield and Friends expanded to an hour by season 2 and lasted seven years; several members of the vocal cast also had...
