If you waited to get the Garfield specials on DVD, now you'll be glad you did (except you could have already been enjoying them). Here are three DVDs in a reasonably priced and very attractive fat cat pack. Since each DVD contains three specials, you really get nine in all. These specials aired on CBS between 1982 and 1991, attesting to the lasagna-loving feline's continued popularity. Four won Emmy awards and others were Emmy nominees. Included are:

Garfield as Himself: "Here Comes Garfield," "Garfield on the Town," and "Garfield Gets a Life."

Garfield's Travel Adventures: "Garfield in the Rough," "Garfield in Paradise," and "Garfield Goes Hollywood."

Garfield's Fantasies: "Garfield: His Nine Lives," "Garfield's Babes and Bullets," and "Garfield's Feline Fantasies."

The only specials you don't get are the holiday themed ones for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, which are available on a separate DVD (and Amazon has it at half price).

All in all, here's the purrrfect gift (sorry, I couldn't resist) for any Garfield lover on your list. If you don't have cable and are watching one cartoon daily or weekly of "Garfield and Friends" (now that all five volumes are out), toss in a special every month for an imPAWSibly good time (see my Amazon list "Cartoons Without Cable").

I was a huge Garfield fan back in the 80's and I'm thrilled to see my children enjoy some of the same cartoons that I watched as a child. My 3 -year-old insists on watching Garfield every night before bedtime and since there are three DVD's in the collection, we rotate them out. I still love Garfield's attitude and now my kids do too! I would definitely recommend this collection!

This show was one of my favorite Garfield TV specials. Garfield and Odie showdown in the Old West, fly an airplane, and go on a search for the Banana of Bombay. Great show, again. Perfect for kids.

I love all 3 DVDS.but the only reason i gave it 4 stars is i wish it would come with Holiday Celebrations.

It's Garfield and I have been a Garfield fan since I can remember, so I love it. You can tell that it was done in the time period when Jon Davis was learning to switch from newspaper comics to writing for cartoons, because it's not as fast-paced as later programs, but it's fun to see the evolution of Garfield.

Garfield - Feline Fantasies is an excellent video for both kids and adults!! I wasn't sure what to expect when I first purchased it, but I was certainly pleased. Plenty of laughs, and very entertaining. Definitely a must-have for any Garfield collection!!

This is my most favorite of them all Garfield TV specials.When secret agent Garfield and his assistant Slobberjob(Odie) try to find the Banana of Bombay only his two arch nemises are the ones who try to stop them. Along with beautiful Nadia Garield and Slobberjob win the banana. And at the end Garfield and Nadia kiss.

If you liked Garfield, you enjoy this set which has a great many of the episodes in it. Your young children will also be delighted, and mine watched this set so frequently, that I nearly have all of them memorized, especially the Fantasies. The holiday collection can also be had with a little looking.

This is a great collection of all the Garfield Specials made from books into movies.

I watch this show Saturday Mornings On Channel6. I saw most of the Garfield And Friends Episodes. I figured this girl likes it who sang the song. The Episode of Garfield going to Hollywood was one of the worse episodes.
