AT LAST!
The TV specials "Here Comes Garfield", "Garfield On The Town" and "Garfield Gets A Life" are finally on DVD. The TV specials were originally on short videotapes released in the early '90s and we rented just about all of them several times.
Now after all these years, they have been discovered again due to the popularity of the new movie, these three original 24 minute TV specials will now be preserved forever because you can't find these anywhere else unless you own the old tapes and they're worn out. The picture quality is very sharp and rich in color. Garfield's TV specials as well as the aimated series was always a very colorful show. The sound, although in mono, sounds better than ever an is more crisp. The DVD quality far exceeds the VHS quality. Also available on this disc is a fantastic Spanish language track (great if kids want to learn another language), plus there are Englsih and Spanish subtitles. As a bonus, there is a short "Inside Look" on the new Garfield movie.
Within the packaging of this DVD is the listing of the programs and the chapter stops, and a little booklet promoting Garfield's website, the three TV programs in their comic book editions fitted into a "fat cat 3-pack" comic book called "Garfield As Himself" with the same design as the DVD. I grew up watching Garfield and was practcially raised on Garfield. I'm glad to see he has regained enough popularity again to be preserved on DVD. "Garfield and Friends" was on different stations, but on the station I used to see it on it had been taken off the air. Disappointing! However, with this 3-disc set of volume 1 of the animated series coming out soon, you can finally see them again.
I can't wait! In the booklet for "Garfield As Himself" it says to look for more TV specials on DVD. How does this sound for the next disc: "Garfield Goes Hollywood", "Garfield In The Rough" and "Garfield In Paradise"? I would love to see it soon. For now if you love Garfield, this is the first DVD available so act now!
HERE COMES GARFIELD!
Three Great TV Specials On One Must-Have DVD
I was so happy when I heard this DVD was going to be released as I can never get enough of the fat cat's sardonic wit. I have now watched each of the three episodes several times and am hoping even more are released soon.
HERE COMES GARFIELD, the first selection, opens with Garfield strutting his stuff in a great dance number while Lou Rawls sings. The episode is filled with great "Garfieldisms" like "I hate mornings. I'd like them better if they started later" and "Show me a good mouser and I'll show you a cat with bad breath." The plot has a lot of similarity to the 2004 big-screen movie. Odie, the hapless dim-witted dog, is picked up by the pound and Garfield decides to break him out.
GARFIELD ON THE TOWN is a nostalgic episode. A trip to the vet takes an unexpected turn when, unnoticed by Jon, Garfield falls out of the car. While lost and roaming the unknown streets he encounters a herd of alley cats with a lot more street-smarts than the tubby tabby possesses. He seeks cover in a place that is eerily familiar and we soon find out that this is the kitchen of the Italian restaurant where Garfield was born and experienced his first lasagna. His mom still lives there and, of course, she recognizes Garfield immediately and introduces him to his brother, grandfather, cousins, and more. Unfortunately, Garfield will never fit in as they are dedicated mousers and we know how he feels about that! An action-packed rumble between Garfield's family and the alley cats ensues and Garfield is saved and led back to his true home with Jon and Odie. But this touching glimpse of his connection with his mother is outstanding.
GARFIELD GETS A LIFE finds Jon bored with his situation and desperately attempting to meet girls at clubs, laundromats, video stores, any place he can think of. He and Garfield finally wind up at Lorenzo's School for the Personality Impaired where Jon does indeed meet a girl he adores. She is wild about Jon as well, but unfortunately she is allergic to cats. This is cute and clever, though it's a no-brainer as to the choice Jon will make.
If you love Garfield, you will love this DVD. His "original" voice as performed by the late Lorenzo Music and the great writing of Jim Davis combine to make this a five-star treat for fans.
