* Not only is "Count Lasagna" an obvious reference to ''Film/{{Dracula|1931}}'', but the guy Jon works for [[spoiler:turns out to be a werewolf, with a transformation that mimics Lawrence Talbot's in ''Film/{{The Wolf Man|1941}}''. His werewolf form also has facial features that look just like the Wolf Man's.]]

* In "Kiddie Korner", Aloysius says that sitting on a tuffet "sounds naughty". This could be a reference to a "Dot's Poetry Corner" segment of ''{{WesternAnimation/Animaniacs}}'' that aired a year before this episode, where Dot reads Little Mrs. Muffet and uses "tuffet" as a euphemism for "butt", while showing us her panties doing so.

* In "Clash Of The Titans", as the gang is flying home, Garfield asks if the characters can stop at ''WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|1987}}'' so they can get a pizza.

* In "Clash Of The Titans", as the gang is flying home, Garfield asks if the characters can stop at ''WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|1987}}'' so they can get a pizza. The show, which also aired on CBS, got extra references in one of the opening quips ("Just think of me as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Pussycat.") and Garfield's assessment of a man who tried to pass as judge, persecutor and defense lawyer in a trial on "Speed Zone" ("If this guy's a lawman, then I'm a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.").



* In "Peace and Quiet", Binky refrences the United States Post Office motto, "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds", but replaces "couriers" with "clown".
* The title of the episode "The Lasagna Zone" spoofs ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'', and the plot of Garfield getting TrappedInTVLand only to find out that it was AllJustADream...[[OrWasItADream Or Was It]] could easily have occurred on the actual show.

* Also doubling as a BrickJoke: in one episode, Garfield & Nermal contend with mutant guppies, who they defeat by chasing them back into the sewer. Said guppies then appear in the subsequent US Acres Quickie; after scaring Wade and Orson, one guppy turns to his fellows and says "Come on guys, let's go see if we can get a guest shot on the ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies'', whaddaya say?" (Muppet Babies aired after the show on CBS at the time).

* In "Flat Tired", while deciding who to get for the cartoon when Garfield is too tired, the director initially says "Get me [[Franchise/TheMuppets Kermit The Frog]] on the phone," before choosing [[ADayInTheLimelight Odie]]. Also a bit of an in-joke, since ''WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies'' was also on CBS at the time.
