Garfield rocks! I grew up watching this show (and of course, the Christmas special is a MUST every year!) and own several of the Garfield books! Jon is a man forever without a clue about both fashion and ladies (can you blame the women he chased for turning him down?) and Odie was awesome too. I think a lot of us can relate to Garfield: we're crabby, lazy, love lots of food and TV, but underneath most of us have pure hearts of gold.
I LOVED the second theme song! ("We're, we're, ready, ready, to, to PARTY...") The first was pretty cheesy, in my opinion. Anyway, I too loved the Quickies and even the US Acres bits, especially Wade the Duck. ("The bunny rabbits is coming, the bunny rabbits is COMING!) HYSTERICAL! LOVED this show and I wish it was still on the air!
