Garfield

A comic strip, twelve specials, three series and six films, and almost none of them connect.

Where to start with Garfield

There is no order here, and anyone who tells you otherwise is guessing. Garfield has been adapted five separate times by different people with no connection between them, and the cat is the only thing carried over. What you actually have to choose is which Garfield you want, so here are the three that are worth the time.

  1. 1
    Garfield and Friends (1988) Garfield and Friends

    The one most people mean. A hundred and twenty one episodes with Lorenzo Music voicing Garfield, and a second strip, U.S. Acres, sharing every episode.

  2. 2
    Garfield's Halloween Adventure (1985) Garfield's Halloween Adventure

    The best of the twelve CBS specials and genuinely unsettling in its last act. A Garfield Christmas from 1987 is the other one people come back to.

  3. 3
    The Garfield Movie (2024) The Garfield Movie

    The most recent attempt and a complete restart. If you want a film rather than a series, start here rather than with the 2004 live-action one.

Then what? The rest is optional and splits cleanly. Two live-action films in 2004 and 2006, three animated direct-to-video films between 2007 and 2009 that have nothing to do with them, The Garfield Show from 2009 made in France, and twenty four three-minute shorts in 2019. The strip itself has run daily since 1978 and is still going.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.

Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
