History Trivia / TheGarfieldShow

** By all accounts, apparently only the first season was ever released on video in America. For a while, Creator/{{Netflix}} only had the first two seasons, but they've since added the third and fourth seasons, leaving season 5 as the one season that's hard to find in English. Additionally, [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgDFVgTnw_W5DftgN2NQApQ/videos the official YouTube channel]] uploads full episodes from various seasons.
** The [=YouTube=] channel nie Ji has uploaded every episode of the series except for the English version of the "Rodent Rebellion" special that comprised the entirety of season 5.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Creator/CartoonNetwork's treatment of this show was hit-or-miss. The first season aired new episodes at 10:30AM on weekdays, a time when the target audience would be at school, said new episodes were constantly preempted by CN's morning movie airings, and it was given little, if any, advertising. They wouldn't get the second season until over a year later, and by that point the first season had been reran to exhaustion. However, the second season was given a much nicer 5PM slot, but with the same minuscule promotion. It was later moved to 2PM without very much advance warning, but this was during the summer. The third season was given the same treatment the first season got, with no advertising and a weekday slot when the target audience would be at school (10:00AM). The network would eventually drop it a few years later, and it was banished to Creator/{{Boomerang}}, a channel that is available in much less households than its parent network is.

* TheOtherDarrin: Creator/FrankWelker (who, rather expectedly, had also appeared on ''Garfield and Friends'') took over as Garfield after the death of original voice actor Lorenzo Music. Also, Creator/WallyWingert replaced [[OneBookAuthor Thom Huge]] as Jon, and Creator/JasonMarsden took over from Desiree Goyette as Nermal. Should be noted that although they had previously voiced their characters in ''Garfield Gets Real'', this still counts as an example, as this was the first regular appearance of these characters on television since ''Garfield and Friends'' had ended.

* TalkingToHimself:
** Creator/FrankWelker voices the majority of the extras and secondary characters. In fact, if there's any minor character with a speaking role you can expect them to be voiced by Frank 90% of the time.
** In "High Scale", Garfield is terrorized in a nightmare by a talking scale (also voiced by Frank Welker); over the course of the dream, the scale slowly changes its shrill voice until it winds up with Frank Welker's [[WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget Dr. Claw]]/[[{{Franchise/Transformers}} Soundwave]] voice.
** Creator/GreggBerger and Creator/JasonMarsden also do several voices on the show.

* RelationshipVoiceActor: In the Japanese dub, Garfield and Jon's voice actors, Creator/WataruTakagi and Creator/ToshihikoSeki respectively, had previously worked as leads in many series of the ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' franchise, and by default, both ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' and ''VideoGame/SDGundamGGeneration'': Takagi previously voiced both [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Garrod Ran]] and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn Alberto Vist]], while Seki previously voiced [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Duo Maxwell]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Rau Le Creuset]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Rey Za Burrel]] and [[Manga/MobileSuitGundamTheOrigin the real Char Aznable]].

* AuthorExistenceFailure:
** Lorenzo Music died in 2001. This show replaces him with Frank Welker, who substituted for Music in a few episodes of ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends''.
** This is the most likely reason the ''ComicStrip/USAcres'' cast didn't appear at all in this adaptation. Howard Morris, who voiced Wade Duck, passed away four years before the show began, and Wade is considered one of the three main characters of the show.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: A voiced cameo by Orson Pig was written in at one point, and even recorded by his original voice actor, Gregg Berger. However, the studio wouldn't let them include it in the episode, due to international laws. (some countries do not allow a talking pig to be showcased, specifically Malaysia)
