I get a few messages a week asking me about The Garfield Show, a new series which claims me as one of its producers…and I also write a lot of episodes and voice-direct 'em all.
The show is seen all over the world…and in America and a few other countries, it's on Cartoon Network. Initially, they would run one episode in the morning and rerun it in the afternoon. The morning airing has been doing okay in the ratings. The afternoon airing has been doing so well that they now run two half-hours there each day…and neither is a rerun of the morning show. They've also added us to the Saturday and Sunday lineups, although we're not airing at all over the forthcoming Martin Luther King Day weekend.
We did a first season of 26 episodes and they're now all in rotation there. I have no idea why some episodes seem to air every 72 hours and others turn up about once every three months. Divisions of Time-Warner work in mysterious ways.
We're currently in production on a second season of 26 more half-hours. Just when they'll be completed is another thing about which I have no idea. We just recorded voice tracks for episodes 9 and 10 of this batch…so it'll be a while. I'm told a DVD release may be announced one of these days, as well. And I think that covers everything folks are asking me. Hope you catch an episode or two and that you like what you catch.
