Garfeild

Garfield is a comic strip created by Jim Davis. Published since June 19, 1978, it chronicles the life of the title character, the cat Garfield.
Garfield and Friends was an American animated television series based on the comic strip Garfield by Jim Davis. The show was produced by Film Roman, in association with United Feature Syndicate and Paws, Inc., and ran on CBS Saturday mornings from 1988 to late 1994.
Regular segments featured both Garfield and U.S. Acres, a lesser-known comic strip also created by Davis. The latter was retitled Orson's Farm for foreign syndication as well as the DVD releases. The original logo was retained in the 9 Story Media Group version. 
242 Garfield segments and 121 U.S. Acres segments were produced. There were two "Garfield" segments on each show, two "quickie" shorts based on Sunday comic strips, and in between was a U.S. Acres segment.
A total of 121 half-hour shows were produced, and all have been released in the U.S. on five DVD sets by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. 9 Story Media Group is remastering the series for High-definition. The intro was reanimated in Flash and some animation frames are missing. 
The first season aired in a half-hour format. In the second season, it switched to an hour-length format, showing two episodes each week. In the show's last season, the second half-hour of the show featured either an episode from the previous season or one of the Garfield TV specials.
The series has been acquired by Viacom, as part of the company's purchase of the franchise.
=== Garfield ===
The "Garfield" segments focus on the adventures of Garfield, Jon and Odie in the suburban world. The only characters from the strip not to appear are Doc Boy Arbuckle, Grandma Arbuckle, Squeak and Irma. Jon's parents and Arlene make cameo appearances in "Feeling Feline" and "Remote Possibilities" respectively. While cartoons from earlier seasons focused more on Garfield's wacky antics, later seasons focused more on behind-the-scenes satire, parodies and breaking the fourth wall.
=== U.S. Acres ===
The "U.S. Acres" segments were based on Jim Davis' lesser-known comic strip, which was about Orson Pig and his barnyard friends; Roy Rooster, Lanolin Sheep, Bo Sheep, Wade Duck, Booker and Sheldon and the life they run together on their farm. The only characters from the original strip not to appear are Blue and Cody. Originally, the segments were focused on morals and social lessons; later segments focused more on comedy, breaking the fourth wall and slapstick.
