The twelfth episode of the second season of Garfield and Friends.
Post-opening sequence line: "Sell your remote control, I'm the best thing on!"
Robodie
After Garfield 'terrorizes' a nearby 'All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet', Odie is kidnapped by a mad scientist, Dr. Garbanzo Bean, who wants to create robot dogs. While Odie is caged up, one of the robots escapes and ends up following Garfield. Back home, Garfield can't seem to kick Odie (as it feels he's been kicking metal or something) or toss the stick far far away. Until Jon gives him a bowl of water, and the robot short-circuits and blows up. Jon and Garfield decide to look in the last place Odie went, and finally enter Garbanzo's lair. The real Odie manages to escape and reunite with them and Dr. Garbanzo Bean realizes that all of his 'robots' are acting stupid while the guys leave.
Not realizing that they left the door open and the robot dogs out, they decide to head to the same 'All-You-Can-Eat-Buffet', only for the restaurant manage to stop them. Jon tells Garfield to stay outside as the owner agrees to let Jon and the dog enter. But much to his shock, the robot dogs follow Jon inside while Garfield (disguise as one of them) enters while fighting one of the robot dogs for food.
First Aid Wade
After falling off the back of a cow, Wade suffers a serious leg injury and thinks that Roy and Orson will perform surgery on him due to a misunderstanding.

Orson: No, no. What did the man have?
Roy: 900 dollars.
