Plot

The Garfield Show mainly centers on Garfield and his usual antics and frolics as well as his laziness and love for lasagna. The series focuses on Garfield's adventures which are usually darker than in comics or in any TV show of Garfield. Garfield lives with Jon Arbuckle, his owner, and Odie, his owner's dog. The family still have a 1950's era television set and the rabbit-ears atennae, but now they have a converter box which allows the family to watch televison in HD. The premise is comedic slapstick. Usually, Garfield has to solve problems that he caused himself, but he always tries to avoid it, but ends up solving the problem in the end of the episode anyway.

During the second season Garfield starts breaking the fourth wall more often by talking to the audience and even mentioning cartoon traditions. Unlike Season 1, Season 2 began borrowing characters from previous episodes.
