- Quotes
[first lines]
Garfield: [waking up] Good morning, Morning. Guess I'll get up, wake Jon, exercise... unless, of course, that floor is cold. I hate cold floors. I'm not getting out of bed if that floor is the slightest bit chilly.
[He places one finger on the floor ever so slightly and cringes]
Garfield: Yii! It's freezing! Too bad.
[sighs]
Garfield: ...I'm hungry.

My favorite Garfield Special
Garfield is one of my favorite comics, and as a 24-year-old woman, I do not remember the other Garfield TV specials, except for the holiday ones; my favorite is Garfield's Halloween Adventure. I did buy the DVD "Garfield as Himself," which features the three TV specials: Here Comes Garfield (the first Garfield TV special), Garfield on the Town, and Garfield Gets a Life. And after watching all three, I found that I love Garfield on the Town the most.
In this special, Garfield gets lost in the city and encounters the Claws, an unfriendly alley cat gang. He confronts the leader and runs away to an abandoned restaurant, where he meets his long-lost mother. The family, including his maternal grandfather, half-brother Raoul, and cousin Sly, are all mouse-catchers. The Claws surround the building, demanding Garfield come out for offending them.
I love the animation for this special. It came from the famous Peanuts cartoon team of Bill Melendez and Lee Mendelson, giving it a similar look. I also like Lou Rawls and Desiree Goyette doing the songs. And one last thing: I think Garfield's mom is pretty.
