The Garfield Show

Pasta wars : In the outter reaches of the galaxy, a mother ship in the shape of a pressure cooker is home to some very strange creatures: space lasagna! Their ambition is to invade Planet Earth. When the space lasagna checks out Jon's neighborhood, they run into Odie. They think that all humans are just like him, and decide to invade. But unfortunately, they fail to take into account Garfield’s greediness. The aliens look so much like lasagna, he can't resist them! Their plan to take over might fall through faster than they thought; after all, the one thing Garfield can never get enough of is lasagna. / A game of cat and Mouse : Garfield doesn’t like eating mice. As long as they don’t get in his way, he’s happy to have them around and lets them do whatever they want. But when his friend Squeek invites his big mouse family over to stay at Jon’s, they take over the whole house: they settle in the cupboards, in the drawers, even in the wash basin! They also clean out the refrigerator. This is too much for Jon, who decides to remind Garfield of his duties as a house cat, and ‘mouser’. If he can’t get rid of the mice, Garfield will get no lasagna for at least a year, and Jon will call in a pest control expert, but that will mean kissing Garfield’s buddy Squeek goodbye for ever.

Pup in the pound: A new law for dogs has just been introduced: any dog which goes out without a tag on its collar will be thrown into the pound without further ado. Odie, who is messing around with Garfield as usual, loses his tag without realizing it. And of course, when he goes out into the garden, he gets caught by two guards and dragged off to the dog pound. Jon notices he’s gone missing and orders Garfield to find him again. There’ll be no dinner until he does, and it’s lasagna tonight! Garfield therefore heads off to the pound, even though there’s no entry for cats. He uses his cunning and dresses up as a dog in order to sneak in and rescue his faithful friend. But then who will get him out? / Odie in Love: Jon comes back from the supermarket with a pet brush he has bought. Garfield isn’t keen on the idea since he can take care of his own hygiene, but Odie doesn't mind trying it out. He likes it so much that he falls in love with the brush and swears never to leave it. Garfield doesn't think much of Odie's affair; in fact he's a bit jealous, and decides to get rid of the brush. The next morning, Odie’s sweetheart has disappeared, and the poor lovelorn pup starts howling at the top of his lungs. Garfield can't take it for long; he 'fesses up and sets off to hunt down the lost brush with Odie. Too bad if it takes them all the way across town to the scary rubbish dump.

Catnap : While Jon is out at the dentist’s having treatment for a painful tooth-ache, Garfield and Odie are home alone watching their favorite TV shows in the living room. At nightfall, Jon still isn’t back. But who’s that knocking at the door? Could it be the dangerous gangster everyone's talking about on TV? Or might it simply be Jon, who has left his keys at the dentist’s and is locked out? Garfield and Odie aren’t sure, so they decide not to let anybody in. They barricade the doors and set up traps with their mouse friend Squeek’s help. That way, they can be sure to neutralize the crook prowling around outside. / Agent X : A secret agent known as Agent X has shown up in the neighborhood and is stealing Garfield's limelight by telling anybody who wants to listen all about his adventures. Nermal, Arlene and Harry quickly succumb to his charms, but Garfield is suspicious. Is he really a spy? Or is he nothing but talk? Could he be just another alley cat looking for five minutes' fame? In any case, Garfield is determined to find out the truth, and with the help of his mouse friend Squeek, he soon realizes that Agent X really lives a normal cat life with no spy adventures in sight back at home elsewhere in the town.

Curse of the Were-Dog: It’s night-time and the full moon and the alignment of the planets are having a strange effect on Odie. He turns into a monster as soon as the sky is clear and wreaks havoc in Jon's house. The living room is a wreck, and the dish of lasagna has disappeared. Of course, Jon immediately thinks Garfield is behind all this, until he discovers on the news that his dog Odie might be the real culprit. To get to the bottom of it all, he goes to see the professor who first noticed the planet movements above. When they meet, the professor reassures him; the planets will only stay aligned for a while, then everything should go back to normal. Unless… / Meet the parents: It’s D day! Jon is finally going to meet Liz’s parents, Robert and Betty. Everything has to be perfect, starting with Odie and Garfield, who seem determined to mess things up for him. Liz’s parents arrive and there’s a bit of an atmosphere. Until Betty brings out her little canary, Mimosa. Garfield starts drooling; the canary would make a great appetizer. He quickly realizes that Mimosa feels trapped and wants to escape from Betty, whose attention is smothering him. The bedroom window is open and it’s the opportunity he’s been dreaming of, so Mimosa flies away. Betty feels desperate; she has lost her darling little bird. It’s all Garfield’s fault, but then again, some people are more than happy to see the back of the bothersome bird.

Down on the farm: Jon goes to visit his brother Doc Boy who lives on a livestock farm. It’s out in the country, and since Garfield is a real city cat, it's no picnic for him! To make things worse, Doc Boy asks him to do some work: pile up some logs, wash down the windows, sweep up the leaves. Things really reach their low point when Garfield realizes there's no TV and no pizza. With Odie’s help, he decides to fix this and convince all the farm animals they really need a TV at the farm. As soon as they get one, the chickens stop laying, the cows stop making milk and the horses refuse to work; it’s hell for Doc Boy! Luckily, he comes across a TV show which will make his fortune. That will put an end to all his chores! / The Pet Show: A pet show has been organized in town, and the 1st prize is a huge dish of lasagne. Garfield's mouth is already watering at the thought of it, and he decides to compete. Things get off to a bad start. He flunks the sign up, and Nermal has already gotten started! How will he ever win now? Luckily, Garfield can always count on Odie, his faithful friend, to help him out. Jon signs him up and Garfield coaches him for every part of the contest: his first task is to neutralize the competition; the second is to beat Nermal in the nicest pet test. But things get a bit more complicated when it comes to the test for the smartest pet!

Pet matchers: It’s a day like any other at Jon’s house, and Jon and Garfield are squabbling for no reason. It can't go on : to help them make up and get some peace and quiet, Odie and Squeek have an idea: there’s a new TV game show which aims to find out if pets and their masters are really made for each other. Odie is confident that things will calm down once the show has proven Garfield and Jon make a good team. But his cunning plan quickly goes horribly wrong: the Compatriton machine, which never gets anything wrong, says they’re incompatible. Garfield gets sent off to live with a boisterous kid called Jeremy, and Jon gets a new pet…. A frog!! / Lucky charm: Our three heroes have no luck: they’ve gone fishing but the good weather report never warned them it would pour with rain! To fight off his boredom, Garfield sends Odie to the end of a rainbow, promising that if he makes it before the rainbow disappears, he’ll find a pot full of gold. Odie, who makes a good sleuth, finds it and brings it back to Garfield, much to the despair of its owner, a sad little leprechaun. If Garfield agrees to give the pot of gold back, all his dreams will come true. Garfield decides to get lucky. Overnight, he turns into a multi-billionaire! But if at first he enjoys the lap of luxury, he soon realizes that money isn't everything. How can he get his old life back, when he’s the victim of such excellent luck?
