Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The concierge's reference to "the Jack Benny suite" and the subsequent gag surrounding its third-world condition are tips of the hat to both Jack Benny and Frank Nelson. Benny's TV persona was that of a miser who would have gleefully jumped at a room that cheap (and on his radio show, often did), while Nelson (who plays the concierge) was a frequent comic foil of Benny's. more

The thinnest Garfield special, 22 February 2005
6/10
Author: Shawn Watson (gator_macready@yahoo.com) from The Underverse

I was never too keen on Garfield in Paradise, there is just something about it that doesn't gel. Garfield TV specials are always great but there's a couple of annoying things in this one.

Jon has taken Garfield (and a stowaway Odie) to Hawaii for a vacation, staying in a lousy hotel after a third class plane ride. Everything about their trip reeks of sleaze. Soon they happen upon a native village (containing a very irritating, gibberish-talking short guy showing asscrack that belongs in something like The Simpons) and have to drive their 1957 vintage rentacar into a volcano to plug the hole.

There's not much more to it than that I'm afraid. Though seeing as how I'm trying to plan a sunny beach holiday it did kinda put me off booking a cheap hotel and flight.
