What Parents Need to Know
About Garfield and Friends
Parents need to know that this cartoon series (based on Jim Davis' long-running comic strip) is silly and quirky. Garfield is, as ever, a lasagna-loving, dog-kicking sarcastic grump, but he always comes through for Jon and Odie in the end. Among the barnyard animals in the U.S. Acres portion of the show, some characters are good role models and some aren't, but, again, they always work together as a team when it matters. Some of the series' jokes might fly over kids' heads, but overall the show shouldn't raise any eyebrows.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the way Garfield acts. Why is he so likable despite the fact that he's lazy and selfish? Would you like a person who acted the way Garfield does? Why or why not? How can you tell that Garfield cares about Odie, despite the way he treats him sometimes? Which farm characters remind you the most of Garfield and his friends? Do you like Garfield or the U.S. Acres gang better? Why?

Garfield is one of my favorite cartoons!
This show is really fun to watch and the carachters are really lovable! To some incredibly overly protective parents, this show may seem "violent". But come on, the only thing remotely "violent" is that Garfield sometimes kicks Odie off of a table. You should'nt worry about that because it is impossible for children to mimic this behavior. Incredibly overly-protective parents may also think that Garfield sets a bad example by being so fat and mean to Nermal and Odie(i.e. He always ships Nermal to Abu-Dabi, again, impossible for kids to mimic that behavior). There is absolutely NO bad language in this show. In MY point of view, there is NOTHING violent or bad about Garfield. He is just a cute little fat cat in my point of view. In fact, I like him so much that I have all five seasons on DVD and a Garfield stuffed toy who sits on top of my TV. This show is great for all ages!
