When I mean Garfield, I also include Garfield and Friends, Garfield TV Specials, and Comics.

I enjoy reading the Garfield Comics and I also have a keychain with Garfield on it.

Yeah, I've been a "Garfield" fan since the very beginning (way back in 1978).
I still read his daily and Sunday comic strip and have seen the Saturday morning series and all the prime-time TV specials (my favorites: the first one,
the Christmas show and "Babes and Bullets"). I even saw the two live-action
movies (which the critics hated). Garfield is still one of the coolest cats in
cartoondom.

Me! I grew up on the Saturday morning series, the comic strip, and today I own the three holiday specials on DVD.

I love Garfield and Friends I have the dvd's to the cartoon. Garfield is also one of my favorite characters. I also like Odie too.

Odie rules!! Remember the big jack o lantern on his head in the Halloween special? :lol:

I looove Garfield. I want the cartoon on dvd. I did not care for the live action movie but the cartoon ruled the 80's saturday morning.

I Like Garfield

I love Garfield. I read the comic strip daily. I used to love watching the TV show and specials, but I haven't watched any in years. Remember when CBS used to air the Garfield holiday specials along with the Peanuts specials? They don't do that anymore.

ABC is now the network airing the "Peanuts" specials. I don't know of any
channel that is showing the Garfield cartoons now, though.

Yeah, I read Heathcliff's comic strip online nearly every day now and used to watch the Saturday morning cartoon and read the Marvel comic book. The
legendary Mel Blanc voiced Heathcliff, whose comic strip actually preceded
the more famous Garfield by about five years. George Gately created Heathcliff, who made his newspaper strip debut on Sept. 3, 1973. The scruffy
tomcat came to Saturday morning TV on Sept. 12, 1981, on the ABC network
in THE HEATHCLIFF AND MARMADUKE SHOW, sharing billing with Brad Anderson's Great Dane (who has been on the comic pages since 1954). The
show, produced by Ruby-Spears, only ran for one season, though.

I remember Heathcliff - he was around when I was a kid in the 1980s. Whatever happened to him?? :lol:

Heathcliff was the man. Heathcliff, Heathcliff no one should terrorize the neighborhood but Heathcliff just won't be undone playing pranks on everyone.... aah memories

I love (Garfield); I read the comic strip everyday. He's my fave cat :cat:

I wrote to Jim Davis when I was a kid and he wrote back twice! He used stationery that looked like Garfield had taken a bite out of it at the top. I still remember the opening lines of one of the letters: Your interest in Garfield keeps him well-stocked in lasagna.

I liked the cartoon strips in the paper, but didn't like the cartoon series. I always thought the guy doing his voice was wrong for Garfield.

Funny enough, never quite vibed with the comic strip(s) but loved the specials and later Garfield and Friends.

So much that I have the 5 DVD Volume Sets of "Garfield and Friends". I Have the entire series in my DVD shelf. I liked reading the comics as well. I got my friends hooked on Garfield because of the DVDs.

I love Garfield and Friends i use to watch that all the time when it was time to go to school and im always reading the comics alot or draw them in class.

Garfield is gangsta. lol. i like Garfield. the movies, not so much. they wouldn't have been be so bad if they got a dog that looked like Odie. they could have even computer animated him. anybody agree?

Oh yeah, Garfield rocks and he can also kick Heathcliff's ass

I love Garfield forever!!!!!!

Garfield and Charlie Brown on CBS during the holidays was the greatest. Aside from Rudolph, those were the specials I looked forward to the most, watching them back to back. It doesn't feel the same now that they air the Peanuts specials on ABC. I love all the Garfield holiday specials. And I grew up on the Garfield series as a kid.

Now that is very cool! Not to mention classy! I bet you treasure those letters, don't you?

I used to love Garfield in the paper, but I don't find it funny anymore. Maybe I'm too old for them, but I still ROFL reading "Peanuts". My favorite Garfield show of all is what I guess the first Garfield Christmas special. I had no idea there are more than one!

In the one that I have (on VHS no less!), Garfield, Jon and Odie go to the farm to visit the mom, dad and Jon's brother Doc Boy and his grandmother. Garfield finds those love letters from Jon's grandfather in the barn and gives them to the grandmother for Christmas and Odie makes that back scratcher for Garfield. I absolutely LOVE that episode!

I freaked out when my husband gave it to me and he said that he was at the store and they had a whole shopping cart full of random Christmas cartoons. How did he know that it was my favorite one?! Awwww!

As a kid, I was obsessed with Garfield. I had stuffed animals, all of the books, and lived for the nights when a Garfield special would air on prime time. These days I look back, and I'm not quite sure what it was that I liked so much. I still have all of the books from my childhood but they just aren't funny anymore. I guess lasagna, Mondays, and naps are more humorous when you're eight.

Yep, I've always loved "Garfield & Friends" growing up as well. My favorite episode is "Day of Doom," where Garfield goes to a wishing well and wishes for no more Mondays, only to find out later on that a lot of important things have to be done on Mondays, including Jon making lasagna for him! :lol:

I wrote to Jim Davis when I was a kid and he wrote back twice! He used stationery that looked like Garfield had taken a bite out of it at the top. I still remember the opening lines of one of the letters: Your interest in Garfield keeps him well-stocked in lasagna.

I did this twice as a kid as well. Got a response both times...the second being on the stationary you mention. I will say though that although the letters were a few years apart, about half of both responses was the same word for word. At the same time though, the other half commented on things I had mentioned in my letter.

Along those same lines, I've got a letter from Mister Rogers from 1999. When I graduated from college, I sent Mister Rogers an announcement with a letter telling him how much I appreciated the values he had instilled in children for years. Within a week I got a letter back that, although it had some "form letter" qualities, there was much of the content that was directly commenting on the letter I had sent and the plans I had for my future.

Not trying to one-up the letter from Jim Davis story by any means. Just made me think of my letter from Mister Rogers...

If anybody's interested, I've put up scans of the two letters I got from Jim Davis back in the 80's...

I love Garfield. The cartoons haven't been on the air in years. Most recently they aired on Toon Disney in the overnight hours I beleive. This was before JETIX or whatever the devil it's called took over most of the programming on that network.

The live action movie was okay at best. I guess I didn't like it because so much had changed from the comics to the movie. When I went to see the movie I got to the AMC Theatre at 1:10PM. I tell the kid I want a ticket to see Garfield. And he asked me if I wanted it for the 1PM showing. I felt like saying to him "No. I want it for the Midnite Showing Friday after next."

I like "Garfield" both as a comic strip and as a cartoon. I don't know about the live action movies though. I haven't really watched them, of course, so I shouldn't really say anything. But I don't like the little, that I've actually seen out of them. "Garfield" simply shouldn't have gone live action.

I love Garfield. I use to have a Garfield thread where I would post the daily garfield cartoon. :D
