Finally got Garfield & Friends Vol-3! Unfortunately I am stuck at work so won't get to start watching em till tomorrow. I don't think there was a better Cartoon Series. That was the only thing I looked forward to Saturday when I was younger. This will have episodes 49-72. We will still be expecting Vol 4 and 5 to complete all 121 episodes, but I have found no word on a timeframe.

My favorites on here are US Acres 'Over The Rainbow' with voice of Rod Roddy (price is right) announcing what is won for the Dirty Sock in the 'end of the rainbow' game. Garfield 'Jukebox Jon' where Jon has an interview to get a job and the boss states Jon is level-Headed and not a wierdo, then which Jon walks in speaking spanish and making funny sounds! Also 'Rodent Rampage', which has one of the best 'songs' from the Garfield toons, where Jon breaks into a song when he spots a mouse in the Kitchen "Garfield there's a mouse in the house" "Let Me Sleep!"

Another note, the next (and maybe final) Garfield 'Specials' DVD is also available for pre-order now, Called 'Garfield Fantasies'.

Garfield and Friends IMO was one of the best saturday morning cartoon shows to ever air. It is great to see them being released on DVD and now with volume 3 there is even more joy. While I wish we could have commentary for these episodes and perhaps some extras (such as CBS saturday morning trailers and promos etc...) It is good to see that the U.S. Acres quickies have been added back to make the sets complete. Here's what to expect from volume 3 which has some great cartoons including DJ Jon, Squeak previews, and Mystery guest which always gets me laughing that even Jon can't figure out his own cat is the mystery guest on the farm. There's also quite a few here which I don't remember seeing on Toon Disney or remember much of either.:

Volume three of Garfield and Friends is here continuing a great Fox effort at bringing out the entire run of the classic cartoon. You get 24 episodes of the TV show over 3 discs which includes some 70 tunes or so...if I counted right. This season was 1990 to 1991 and included some fantastic Garfield tunes as well as tunes from the rest of the cast such as Orson Pig, Wade Duck and all the rest.

Just a few of the classic episodes include:

"Count lasagna" in a story Jon writes, Garfield is Count lasagna who steals italian food from delivery guys.

"For Cats Only" Garfield hosts a TV show for cats only explaining their plan of infiltrating humanity and having humans wait on them hand and foot. Hilarious!

"Hare Replacement" Jon is doing a magic act and his rabbit escapes, forcing Jon to put Garfield in a bunny suit as a replacement.

"Moo Cow Mutt" Garfield convinces Odie he is really a cow and Odie starts acting like one but Jon turns the tables on Garfield.

"Squeak Previews" a Parody of the old Siskel and Ebert movie review show with two mice playing the part of the reviwers.

"Annoying Things" Garfield is warned by a dog not to say anything bad about dogs during his show. Nermal causes Garfield to mess up when he holds up a cue card saying dogs are annoying.

"The idol of Id" Jon, Odie, and Garfield visit a museum. When Garfield and Odie touch the same idol, their minds switch bodies!

Wow! How can you go wrong? Over eight hours of classic Garfield toons! Thank you fox for another great and great looking set. Oh..and there are trailers for the Garfield movie too!

This third season was the best out of all of them so far, it has on it my favorite episode, the show where in response to viewer write-ins about the show having errors, they dedicate an entire episode where as many things are wrong as possible and they play it off like there were no mistakes...comic genius. Never gets old. This show is definitely for all ages, I am 24.

By the 3rd year of Garfield And Friends the first 2 seasons were good. Some all time favorites are in here.
Some of the best are: Count Lasagna, Rodent Rampage, Moo Cow Mutt and for Cats only!!!
This is the volume you won't want to miss!

Volume 3 Disc 3 is my favorite of the whole series. It contains the episode Learning Lessons, in which Garfield makes up the word Gazorninplat in an effort to get the buddy bears to stop interrupting him with educational facts. I couldn't remember the name of the episode or what season it was in so it took a while to come across it again. Once I did my daughter wanted to watch it about 3 times in a row.
I agree with some of the other reviews in that the discs are pretty no-frills, and the name change for US Acres seemed odd, but I can't really deduct a star from a very entertaining series just for that.

Garfield and Friends continue off from where they left off from volume 2. Garfield and Friends does a fantastic job of inserting humor for both the young and older audiences.

Volume 3 starts also episodes that are not shown in reruns nearly as much as volume 1 or 2. I hadn't seen a few of the episodes on volume 3, which was quite a pleasant surprise. Overall this is another great volume of Garfield and Friends episodes. Quality is really good and sound is equally impressive. Continue your Garfield and Friends collection or just start to see the lesser known episodes with this volume 3 DVD set.

Yeah!!! Garfield is back in Season Three! I remember coming home to my apartment from school to watch ''Garfield and Friends'', back when I was five, and I got this DVD set of the summer. And what can I say? This is one awesome show and the DVD set is worth every, single penny. In fact, I wish I could give it ten out of five stars! So, like the theme song goes: ''We're (we're)...ready (ready)...to (to)...PARTY!!!''.

This dvd includes Garfield the movie tralier and strawberry shortcake tralier. I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 24 more episodes including Election Daze. Check it out, it comes out April 19th, not May 2005.
