The fourteenth episode of the third season of Garfield and Friends.
Post-opening sequence line: "Enough of this entertainment jazz, let's have some commercials!"
Wonderful World
After Jon tells the guys they can't afford to go on vacation, they watch an advertisement about Wonderful World, created by Wilson Wonder. The guys decide to head there, only to be greeted by Mr.Swindler (a recurring character) and learn that the park is in ruins, but Jon refuses to leave. Soon, Jon notices Swindler's booth, and is told that if he can knock down the bottles he'll win a car. Of course the game is rigged, and Jon losse all his money.
Meanwhile Odie and Garfield come across a roller coaster. Garfield refuses to ride, as he would lose his appetite, so they go into the fun house. They then end up in a secret room where they find Wilson, who has been living there for years leaving the staff to manage his park. When Garfield reveals what's happened, he goes after Swindler to fire him, only for Swindler to run away from him, while Odie (and Garfield who was hooked onto his leash) follow. They then ride on the roller coaster, but Swindler remembers that it's closed because it is missing a track, and is sent flying into the bottle booth. Jon is happy, as his pets have knocked down the bottles, winning him a car.
In the end, Wilson punishes Swindler by making him repaint the park and promises Jon that he'll make this a better place.Jon decides to take the guys out for dinner, but Garfield refuses as he still feels sick.
The Orson Awards
The 32nd annual Orson awards ceremony is being held and Orson runs into his brothers, who demand an award or else. Roy is determined to win an award and takes over the show.
The Garfield Workout
Garfield hosts his own exercise program, contrasting his usual activities with a traditional regimen.
Wonderful World contains examples of:
- Abandoned Area: Thanks to Al Swindler's scheme, he tricks Wilson into managing it and leads to ruins when Garfield, Jon and Odie visits it.
- Con Man: Al Swindler
- Crappy Carnival: Wonder World, because of Swindler taking over as Wilson Wonder put too much faith in him to do the moral thing. None of the rides are functional nor are there operating stands, and the only one that is open is a Knock-Down variant where the bottles are tampered with so that not even Garfield using a wooden hammer does any good on it.
- The Exile: Wilson Wonder was tricked into living in the theme park' underground by Swindler for many years and was falsely assured that Swindler would make it prosper.
- Mr. Alt Disney: Wilson Wonder
- The Precious, Precious Car: What was on the wager for the only operating stand in Wonder World, as Jon needed to get a new car when his old one was worn out.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Garfield first tried taking a taxi home to leave Wally World. Jon objects and pulls him out.
The Orson Awards contains examples of:
- Full-Body Disguise: This is how Roy Rooster disguises himself as Orson in an attempt to take over the show. The mask is not an Expressive Mask, though.
- Writers Cannot Do Math: While announced it was the First Annual Orson Awards, Bo when he went on to accept his award stated, "Hey like I won this one last year, man." and later on "These award shows are all the same."
