* AdoredByTheNetwork: It was like this on CBS since its first day -- until it was canned for refusing to accept a budget cutback.
** Tooncast and [[{{Teletoon}} Teletoon Retro]] adore the show as well. Tooncast has had it since 2006, while Teletoon Retro airs it three times a day.
*** Teletoon Retro also aired the show's first marathon on September 1, 2012.
** In the past, Nickelodeon adored the show more than ''TinyToonAdventures'' when it was on Nick in the Afternoon by airing it back to back for an hour.
* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer and CommonKnowledge Combined: Many people believe that in the episode "Wanted: Wade", Wade rips a tag off of Orson's pillow. [[http://24.media.tumblr.com/5c1c5a9b520ab2d26cb22ae077f01824/tumblr_mgweqvGQ0U1rtv797o3_1280.png He actually ripped the tag off the bottom of Orson's couch]], and there weren't any pillows on it in the first place! The confusion comes from a reccuring mistake in the episode that occurs right after the song sequence where the characters (including Wade himself) say it's a pillow he ripped it off of. Due to this, many people (including fans of the show themselves who have watched the episode and even the official Garfield website say this is true.
* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: Canadian Zap2It listings for the show omit the word "The" from the title of the U.S. Acres segment "The Impractical Joker", and mispell the episode name of "Fortune Kooky" as "Fortune Cookie". [[note]]The correct title, Fortune Kooky, is supposed to be a silly misspelling of "fortune cookie". [[/note]]
** Mark Evanier himself made this mistake twice. Temp Trouble was about Aloysius joining the gang [[note]] The episode does involve Aloysius, but Mark forgot to mention Aloysius giving out demerits and Roy and Wade trying to get rid of him. Mark made it seem like it's all about Aloysius permanently joining them, when he was only in three episodes.[[/note]] and said that the whole U.S. Acres cast learned Double-Talking in "Double Trouble Talk."[[note]]Only Roy learned to do it in the actual episode itself.[[/note]]
** [[http://sailorsisters5ca.tripod.com/garfield/id8.html This summary of the first episode]] says in "Peace And Quiet", Garfield watched a 24 hour documentary instead of 14, and completely gets rid of the part about Wade thinking he'll go to jail in "Wanted: Wade"
* CrossDressingVoices: Desirée Goyette as Nermal may be one of the most obvious examples in animation history to be found on this website.
** In the Spanish version, Booker and Sheldon, also one of Orson's brothers in the earlier episodes for some reason.
* EditedForSyndication:
** Most of the Quickies (including all the USAcres quickies[[note]] except for the fake one in Moo Cow Mutt[[/note]] and all "Screaming with Binky" segments except for one [[note]] The one that was kept in syndication was the one where Wade fills in for Binky.[[/note]] were edited out of The Program Exchange's prints, as was the original theme song, replaced with the "We're Ready To Party" theme song used in seasons 3-6. The last three seasons weren't seen in reruns after the show ended its run either, as Creator/{{CBS}} declined to sell them the rights.
** After CBS stopped showing the show on Saturday mornings, people never got to see (or rewatch) the last three seasons until they finally came out on DVD. Which is a shame because not only were the last three seasons the funniest, but they also show [[VitriolicBestBuds Roy and Wade]] [[OddFriendship becoming closer friends]] in comparison to the earlier seasons. Something that people only familiar with the syndicated episodes didn't get to see...
** The show was broadcast in Finland in a format that dropped the U.S. Acres segments but kept the opening titles. It was bizarre having characters in the titles that never appeared in the show. Considering what happend in their dub of the episode "Peace and Quiet" (where Binky sings off key) and that "Wanted: Wade" had a scene where Wade does a "song" which is a rap with him talking instead of singing as if it were GoAnimate, it could have been a lot worse.
** Also, it appears the Japanese version dropped the segments featuring US Acres on both of their dubs of the show! And how do we know this? On a Japanese blog, there aren't Japanese names for any US Acres episodes, and the US Acres bug quickie is replaced by "Screaming with Binky." They also only dubbed the first four seasons.
** In Malaysia, the USAcres segments had all scenes with Orson Pig edited to appease Muslim audiences (as pigs -- whether used as food or not -- are considered offensive to the Muslim religion and Malaysia has a sizeable population with people of that religion).
* ExecutiveMeddling: During the seventh and final season of the show, the series' traditional [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92tL-xwMAdY "We're Ready to Party"]] intro was replaced with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6vL48DHcKw a rap-like intro]] that everyone ranging from fans of the show to the creators hated--the rap intro was only used on the original CBS airings. It was not used in international airings and as a result does not appear on the series' DVD boxsets (which use the international version of the series).
** CBS also wanted to cut the budgets of Garfield and all its other animated shows, the creators refused to give in and decided to end the show rather then letting it suffer from the cutbacks.
* FakeRussian: Averted in "Swine Trek." In Orson's ''Star Trek''-based dream where he's TheKirk of his barn-shaped starship, Booker, as Chekov's counterpart, is dressed like the stereotypical Russian Cossack, complete with beard. Frank Welker, Booker's VA, speaks in a believable Russian accent, with a commenter on the clip using Google Translate to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBBWVUzG0Ec put in the comments the Cyrillic Russian for Booker's line at 3:58.]] Booker speaks Russian again at 4:43, and Roy at both times must ask for translations. Leading to Lanolin as "Uhura" snarking "Flunked Russian at the Space Academy, didn't ya?"
* HeyItsThatVoice:
** In "Supermarket Mania", Paul Winchell voices the kind-hearted Gramps and the greedy Mr. Baggit. As a result, the former sounds like [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh Tigger]], and the latter sounds like [[TheSmurfs Gargamel]].
** Recurring character Cactus Jack was voiced by Mr. Haney himself, [[GreenAcres Pat Buttram]].
** Lorenzo Music, who voiced Garfield himself, would probably be best recognized by older viewers as the unseen doorman on ''Rhoda'' and ''slightly'' younger viewers as [[TheRealGhostbusters Peter Venkman]] on the cartoon adaptation of ''TheRealGhostbusters'' (at least until Dave Coulier [Joey from ''FullHouse''] took over) and [[AdventuresOfTheGummiBears Tummi Gummi]] from ''AdventuresOfTheGummiBears''.
** In the early seasons, most of Jon's non-Liz love interests were played by JuneForay. Foray also played Jon's cousin Marian in ''Wedding Bell Blues'' and the talking car in the episode, ''Rolling Romance''.
** And Orson would later go on to be [[MetalGearSolid3 covered]] [[TheLastDaysOfFoxhound in]] [[MemeticMutation bees]] as The Pain.
** What, no mention of [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Ursula]] as Jon's grandma?
** Rod Roddy, whose voice was heard announcing ''ThePriceIsRight'' and ''PressYourLuck'', voiced [[ActorAllusion a game show announcer]] in one episode.
** Wade Duck was BeetleBailey and [[RetroactiveRecognition later, he would be Chicken's friend, Flem]] on ''CowAndChicken''.
** Let's not forget that the Genie from "Airborne Odie" was voiced by the same guy who played [[Film/ItsAMadMadMadMadWorld Benjy Benjamin]], [[Film/TheLoveBug Tennessee Steinmetz]], and [[Disney/TheLittleMermaid Scuttle]].
** ManOfAThousandVoices Creator/FrankWelker primarily voiced Bo, Booker, Sheldon and Orson's brother Mort.
** Victoria Jackson (a ditzy, blond comedian known for doing headstands and body contortions while reciting poetry. She was in the movie ''{{UHF}}'' and was a cast member on ''SaturdayNightLive'' during the 1980s) played Garfield's on-again-off-again love interest, Penelope Pussycat.
** Speaking of comedians:
*** Eddie Lawrence played The Feline Philosopher
*** Imogene Coca played The Fairy Dogmother
*** Kevin Meaney played Aloysius Pig.
** [[TransformersGenerationOne Grimlock]] is Odie! (He also plays a Chinese dragon in one cartoon with a nearly identical voice)
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Any episode with a "U.S. Acres" title card excluding "Much Ado About Orson" is this.
** The original version of "Orson Goes On Vacation" is this as well, since it shows the full-size U.S. Acres logo at the beginning. The DVD replaced this with the Orson's Farm logo.
** Two Screaming With Binky segments are missing from the DVDs and from international broadcasts (possibly for time): one about baseball, and another about a pizza parlor. No info can be found on the former, but the PlatypusComix page on the series has a summary on the latter.
* [[OneBookAuthor One Series Actor]]: Thom Huge (who voiced both Jon Arbuckle and Roy the Rooster) never did voicework on any cartoon after ''Garfield''. Justified, as he was an employee of Paws, Inc. (Jim Davis's company) who apparently was meant to be a stand-in voice, but did such a great job they didn't want to replace him.
* RecycledScript: The Quickies are mostly adaptations of the Sunday strips (at least one was based on a daily strip, and at least two have a direct CallBack to the preceding cartoon), but the main cartoons themselves derive from the strips, especially in the earlier episodes. For example, the episode "Caped Avenger" is an episode where Jon takes Pooky to wash him and pitches ideas for a new comic strip, but is otherwise based on two weeks of strips where Garfield, as the Caped Avenger, adopts Odie as Slurp, his sidekick (specifically, August 26-31, 1985 and September 2-7, 1985). To the cartoon's credit, it did add an additional costume gag that wasn't in the strips:
-->'''Garfield:''' Slurp, you really need a costume if you're gonna work with me.\\
''(Odie runs off, then comes back wearing a chicken suit)''\\
'''Garfield:''' You ''still'' haven't grasped the principle behind this.
** It also had a subplot involving Jon trying to pitch comics to a visitng expert that wasn't in the original strips.
** Season 7's "Clash of the Titans" repeated the plot from Season 2's "Attack of the Big Robots"
* ScrewedByTheNetwork: As mentioned above, CBS wanted to cut the show's budget despite the fact that the show was still pulling in strong ratings. The creators, instead, decided to end the show rather than let it suffer from budget cuts.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: A similar-sounding song to [[https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D61aS620-PuM&sa=U&ei=F_VyUdahLqPl0gHHvoAY&ved=0CE0QtwIwBg&sig2=1YUWIAfxUrSWOaWZqzmN-Q&usg=AFQjCNGL-N_VkNUbF4ENfInUUYf0XESn5g "What Harm Can It Do?"]] plays as background music in an episode of DokiDokiPrettyCure introducing the Love Heart Arrow, when the girls introduce themeselves.
** Lanolin's "1, 2, 3, Snore!" song sounds like a lot of 80's pop songs.
** The song "Yah! Ah! Ooh! Eee!" sounds a bit like the Pichu Brothers theme from {{Pokemon}}.
* TalkingToHimself: Thom Huge played Binky the Clown, Jon Arbuckle, and Roy Rooster.
** Frank Welker voiced Booker, Sheldon and Bo.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The show was originally going to be just U.S. Acres, but networks refused to pick it up, so they added Garfield.
