The Great Gluttonous Garfield

Back when newspapers where the main form of entertainment (scaring to think, huh?) , comic strips allowed the readers to laugh. They added hilarious comedy to an otherwise boring piece of literature. One of the most famous comic strips was a strip called Garfield. It stared a gluttonous, fat cat who live with owner, John, and his dog, Odie. Garfield's main comedy was how much food he would eat. It became clear that he probably could eat you Fat Albert out of house and home. After many years of being in the newspapers, Garfield gained television stardom. Different companies would go and make different cartoon shows about the cat and dog. The show I watched the most was one called Garfield And Friends, and it was a cartoon divided in to two separate shows. The first was of course Garfield, but the second was about a lesser known comic called U.S. Acres. That cartoon was set on a farm supposedly ran by the animals. There was Orson, the pig leader; Sheldon, a chicken in an egg; Wade, a cowardly duck; Booker, a regular chicken; and Roy, a self centered rooster who remains me of Daffy Duck. The animals constantly protect the farm's chickens from weasels, foxes, and Orson's brothers. In reality, the U.S. Acres was my favorite, and was more original than Garfield. Not to say the cat's adventures wasn't creative, it made me laugh many times. The voice acting was rather topnotch, the characters were portrayed with great emotions. Between each cartoon was a small clip, resembling an actual comic strip. There's nothing wrong with the show, but it will fail to hook any people older than 12. So it deserves 3.5 out of 5, because it was actually pretty good.
