We all got up and watched Saturday morning cartoons as kids. It was just a right of passage. And one of the favorites in our house (and to this day) was Garfield. The sarcastic animated cat that adults and parents relate to, and taught us how to laugh as well as a lot about lasagna. We’ve searched online to find the some of our favorite episodes but weren’t able to, but now PBS is releasing them so we can enjoy them any time!
Public Media Distribution, LLC is releasing 20 new hilarious adventures from the classic Saturday morning animated program, “Garfield” on the upcoming DVD “GARFIELD: 20 STORIES.”
Fans of the furry feline will follow he and his friends as they take viewers on a journey of fairy tales, history lessons, crime solving and more. Children will follow Garfield on a tour of a movie museum and learn about famous cats in films in Films and Felines. Then, they will hear the real story of the Pied Piper who happened to have a cat, in The Pie-Eyed Piper. Eighteen more fun-filled adventures abound in “GARFIELD: 20 STORIES,” which will be available beginning January 15, 2019 for a suggested retail price of $6.99.
