Since the first Garfield & Friends Volume, I have been anxiously awaiting the remaining 4 Volumes to make the 121 Episodes complete! On here you will find 97-121, for an episode guide please view my review of Volume 4 for the web link since it keeps getting 'deleted' on this review???

scroll down to see which shows this includes. The 'final' garfield intro song will start somewhere in here (probably just for season 7 I imagine...episodes 106+) possibly in the final few episodes as back when this was on TV regularly, the final theme song ("He's fat and he's lazy..." rap-like theme)appeared what seemed weeks before the show went off the air.

I am quite excited as none of the upcoming episodes stand out in my memory so it will all be basically new to me.

Those who have not yet got Volume 4...that one is a Roit, I am still cracking up over some of them shows...check em out!

Now after this comes out on December 6th, I will have all of the series on DVD! This contains some pretty rare episodes that never met syndincation, so this is the only place you can see these episodes! The box art is weird too!

My daughter is 3 and she just loves Garfield. She is happy with these shows therefore I am happy with them. Garfield use to be shown everyday on Disney channel and then they just out of the blue stopped running them. That made me mad because my child likes it so much. So I looked on good 'ol Amazon and there they were. All of the Garfield series. So I bought Vol.5 because it had shows that she had not seen. I like Garfield as well so we did good with purchasing Vol.5

This is the final box set of garfield and friends and like the other four volumes available it delivers. Included here are episodes that haven't been broadcasted in roughly 10 years. Just a taste of what to expect is a sequel to the picnic panic on volume 4, The garfield tin pan alley review, A few episodes with Penelope and some stand out U.S. Acres cartoons including Grape expectations a 2 part cartoon in which Roy faces the music by the big cock-a-doo due to the disappearance of a single grape. All in all if you love the series you will of course enjoy this final volume.

There is one major gripe however. The series final theme song which was a rap is not included in the episodes or anywhere on the dvd's. Decent extras are once again absent. I would have loved to have heard commentary from the remaining castmembers, writers or directors on their take of the show. Still these issues aside, you can't go wrong. The perfect end to the perfect series.

Jim Davis ceases to amaze his fans with his talent and humor through Garfield and his cast of friends. It's just as good as all of the other seasons I've seen. Filled with fun as well as a set you'll return to time and time again. The modern day cartoons just don't measure up to what "use to be".

i love everyone of the volumes mainly bacause i use to watch garfield and friends every morning before school which is also why i love garfield comics now as an adult!! Thank you jim davis for releasing these on dvd!!

Ok This is Garfield and yes some of us sit down and press play all. Thats what days off are for watching Garfield and one or two epesodes just aint enough for me. I have all the volumes and the seperate individual cartoons. In my hous Garfield has its own case for it. Simply put if ya like Garfield get it its worth every penny.

What can you say. I didnt miss this show when I was in school. This show is a classic in every way. I of course have collected the prevoius volumes. this one features the last 9 episodes of season 6 and all season 7. A very good plus for me is that it fetures the spanish audio from the latin american version. Now those episodes that couldnt be seen on syndication ( that would be all of 'em in this volume) will be watched and enjoyed by all. Makes a great christmas present for all.

I haven't watched this show since I was 8, but I think everyone who watched this show will agree that its greatest moment was the Ants Song. This season has that episode. And for that one reason alone you should get this set. It's worth it. That song is not available anywhere on the internet. This is your only way to get it.

...This is a great set.

I loved this show when I saw it on CBS in 1995(as a rerun); it might be their best season. One of my favorite Garfield episodes of all time, Top Ten, is on here(Top 10 reasons Jon's dates don't last long will have you on the floor), as well as a favorite US Acres toon, with the twisted fairy tales.

The only things I didn't like are how they changed "US Acres" to "Orson's Farm", and how they didn't use the actual season 7 opening which I was hoping to get(apparently I was supposed to hate it according to some guy on youtube). Either it was because such a fanbase hated it so much the company went with the usual syndicated opening, or they couldn't get the rights from whoever sang it or whatever.

Please don't let that stop you from getting this, the cartoons are just as good as they've always been.
