TV series
Garfield and Friends
1988 · Children · ★ 7.9
An animated television series based on the life's work of comic strip artist Jim Davis. It was a very long running Saturday morning cartoon, second to The Smurfs. Garfield & Friends contains Garfield, as well as a bonus adaptation of U.S. Acres, which is another newspaper comic about Jon Arbuckle's family farm that was published for a few years. Garfield also had several television specials made, and produced by the same crew that did Charlie Brown & Snoopy. Garfield & Friends also adapted the non-arc strips into animation, now known as "Quickies". No other Saturday Morning Cartoon has been as successful since then, because in 1993 inflation negatively impacted them.
