Garfield and Friends, Volume Two [DVD]

I was 14/15 when this show premiered in the UK and I used to watch it every Saturday. Garfield is kind of a personal hero for me (fat, lazy, cynical and darned proud of it).18 years later, I moved to Australia and my Garfield video-tapes were in a box that went missing enroute. Aaargh!! Much whining and gnashing of teeth.Finally, I decided to take the chance that a Region 1 DVD would work in my cheap Region 4 player and ordered Vols 1, 2, 3 and 5 (4 wasn't in stock at the time).The risk paid off. I've managed to get my Garfield fix once more and have just ordered Volume 4 from this site. I can't believe how the humour hasn't aged. Sometimes certain shows have a sell-by date, as it were. Not Garfield! Highly entertaining both for kids and big kids too. The special features aren't much to write home about, being mainly trailers for films (a little out of date now). I would have liked to see some "behind the scenes" things, but who really buys DVDs because of special features?All in all, a very good buy.

Item EXACTLY As Described!! WELL PACKAGED And FAST Shipping!! 5 STARS ***** !! THANK YOU!

Garfield & Friends shines as the so-called "Silver Age" of Garfield...never understood how this was the Silver Age, as the Golden Age was the older, saggy Garfield and included a number of forgettable characters. Volume Two of the series has a number of memorable cartoons. As with all the G&F volumes, the US Acres segments are hit-or-miss; usually episodes with songs in them are "miss", while the others are pretty good stuff. The Garfield episodes, however, contain voicing from Pat Buttram (voice of the Sheriff of Nottingham in Disney's "Robin Hood" & Napoleon in "The Aristocats") and a number of other classic cartoon voice actors. These episodes have started coming out in digital format, but they're inexplicably slow to release (legalese and reproduction arguments with PAWS, Inc. are the usual suspects), so I highly recommend getting these DVDs before they're impossible to find.

I used to watch Garfield every week when I was a child. I bought the DVD's becasue I remembered the cartoon so fondly that I wanted to see it again. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Garfield is really funny to me now, even as an adult. There is just enough sarcastic humor to make me laugh in every episode. Garfield is a classic! I only wish children of this generation could see more of the quality that was around in the past instead of the violence or intellectually stunting shows that seem to pervade the television today.

Im still on CD1 however I had the season 1 discs and well, I LOVED it. Finally got season 2 and im enjoying it again! Classic childhood memories and well.. just glad I can relive them again with this fat cat. =DAll though this still doesnt have the new theme song where they are "Were ready to party" intro. So wonder if thats season 3?However if your buying this, its well worth it, and its always a nice 20 mins to kill if your eating something and want to do something. But as always a great buy! =)

More Garfield And Friends!After viewing Vol 1, I remember just how much I missed these Cartoons on Saturday Morning! I don't know the Cartoon List, but 24 more Shows..well, you can't go wrong there!Also, Garfield Fans, look on this site for 'Garfield's Travel Adventures', the next installment of specials, now available for pre-order!Garfield is at the top of my DVD Toon list (and all-time favorite toons) with other collections now including Tom & Jerry and Looney Tunes Gold Collections.

I like the older cartoons. it was awesome.

I bought the whole series for my adult son's birthday, as he had such fond memories of these Garfield cartoons from his childhood. He has been enjoying watching and reminiscing on what he calls "probably the most wholesome cartoons ever aired on TV!"
