In which Garfield is Jon told "Disco is dead you jerk!"?

Melissa, that is great about meeting Jim Davis and the others, and your Garfield and Odie cel!

GonzoLeaper, I also agree that "The Garfield Show" is quite good! Nermal and John have had their personalities altered the most (though Garfield has too, a bit) but that doesn't ruin anything - we still have the great originals, and now this show is fun, too! I hope they'll make more TGS episodes, but I'm not so sure.

Last one produced because of the Saturday Morning series...

I wonder why the saturday morning series would have put an end to the specials. As far as I know, Garfield and Friends never had any Garfield episodes lasting a full half hour, so an entire half-hour story is one thing that a special would have done to be different from the series (though during the last season the various specials were sometimes shown in the second half-hour tiem slot).

By the way, I loved it when Doc Boy showed up in TGS!

On a technicality, Garfield and Friends Co-existed with 4 of the specials (Babes and Bullets - Gets a Life... and only one of them WAS a Holiday special... the Thanksgiving one).

So, I'm wondering if the specials were considered redundant with the TV series, or that everyone got too busy to work on them, or what... but I can definitely vouch for the fact that was when the anytime/ non-holiday TV special was starting to fade away.
