just scroll down to see which ones will be on here. There will be 1 more volume to follow this. I can't wait! Soon EVERY Garfield & Friends episode will be in my collection on DVD! Look for Garfield Fantasies on DVD later this Month (may).

Get ready garfield fans it's about to be reborn. Volume 4 contains my favorite episode of all time, the picnic panic and after all these years we finally get to see it again. Ed Bogas did a great job on this one writing the music and doing the voices for the ants. I can still remember some of the words, but not that clearly. I always loved when this episode was on. Another 75 garfields and U.S. Acres shorts from the forth and fifth season on this one, but again no extras. The plus side, many of these haven't been seen in at least 11 years. Relive your past with some truly great episodes. An absolute must for any fan of the show. Here's what to expect on the three discs set:

The one cartoon series you can never get enough of! In Australia only the first volume is available so I bought a multi-region DVD player just so I could order the rest of the series through Amazon! You would have to be insane not to buy this!!!

Garfield is one of the few cartoon DVD sets in which I have to get IMMEDIATELY when it comes out!!!! I have really loved the previous editions. I especially loved the fact that they show all the U.S. Acres Quickies as well as the original theme song that opened the show the first two seasons. When the show was put in syndication, both the U.S. Acres Quickies and the original theme song were banished. Not that I don't like the salsa beginning because it's great, I just missed listening to the old "Friends Are There" opening.

My only pet peeve with this is that they changed the title from U.S. Acres to "Orson's Farm." It's ironic because the packaging still calls it "U.S. Acres." However, this is a very minor complaint and it really means nothing because I love having all the U.S. Acres Quickies back. Also, they're starting to show the episodes that never made it to syndication that were lost once CBS took the show off the air.

I'm really looking forward to this set. I was reading in a previous review that the picnic episode about the ants will be featured in this set. I can't wait because I love that episode!!!! The sequel was very cute as well, and I'm assuming that will come out in the next volume. The episode of "U.S. Acres" that airs right before the ants episode is a funny one for it's their take on the Abbott & Costello "Who's On First Base?" skit in which three dogs named, "Who?" "What?" and "Where?" come to the farm looking for jobs. Classic, good humor.

Well, that's all I have to say about this exciting new Garfield edition that's coming to DVD. I've always been a huge Garfield fan and the release of all the specials and cartoon show on DVD, as well as releasing all the classic Garfield books in Full Color (although they seem to have stopped after Book 9 which I have not found in any bookstore, nor was Amazon able to deliver it to me) only enhances it!!!! Why can't we have good, clean, funny humor like Garfield that made my Saturdays worth getting up early in the morning for???? LONG LIVE GARFIELD!!!!

The Garfield was a great show that I never saw as a child because no one carried it. So seeing it on DVD was a real treat and it is a must see for any Garfield fan.

I gotta say, i like all 5 seasons of the show, but this one takes the cake. A good show, a good collection and a good show to watch. I bet you're kids will love this as much as i do

My son was is so happy with this DVD. I was very happy with the service and very prompt delivery.

This is so much fun. I think that I enjoyed it more than the kids did.

My son and I love watching these old cartoons together. We watch a couple episodes at night; it's a fun way to bond. We can't wait to get the next season!
