The Garfield Show is a CGI animated Series, based on the Garfield franchise, created to celebrate the franchise's 30th anniversary. The series aired on Cartoon Network from November 2, 2009 to October 5, 2012 and Boomerang from October 6, 2015 to October 24, 2016.
The series is currently on an indefinite hiatus.
Plot
The series features very loose continuity and is set in a different universe than the previous Garfield series: Garfield and Friends. However, it does sometimes makes references to the previous one. Unlike the previous series, Liz is considered a main character and has an official relationship with Jon, to reflect their current status in the comic strip. The Garfield Show also reestablishes Arlene as Garfield's potential love interest, as in the comic strip, replacing Penelope from the previous series; despite being touted as a main character, her actual role in the series is relatively minor.
The Garfield Show also features many new characters that are part of the regular cast such as Vito, an Italian chef whose cooking Garfield enjoys, and Squeak, Garfield's mouse friend that lives in Jon's house (replacing Floyd from the previous series).
