!! "Forget Me Not" provides examples of:

* BigEater: To try to restore Garfield's memory, Jon lays out an entire banquet of food for him to eat. Upon seeing it, Garfield says "I wonder what army is coming by to eat all", but politely opts to just have raisins instead. When Garfield regains his memories at the end, he eats the banquet of food.
* IdentityAmnesia: Garfield loses his memories and interests upon being hit by a pie tin; these return when a lasagna pan hits him.
* InjuryBookend: Garfield loses his memories and interests when he gets hit by a pie tin, and regains them after he gets hit again, this time by a lasagna pan.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** Jon realizes that something's wrong with Garfield when he refuses to eat lasagna, asking for a salad with low-calorie dressing instead.
** Liz begins to realize something is wrong with Garfield when he asks her if she's sure he's not due for his shots.
** After Jon lays out a banquet of food for Garfield to eat in an attempt to restore his memory, Garfield decides he isn't all that hungry and opts to eat raisins instead. Raisins are one of the few foods that Garfield refuses to eat, so Jon and Odie are shocked upon seeing this.
** The dog who bullied Garfield for the pie he took earlier is shocked when Garfield willingly gives him his lasagna, sure that what Garfield did to him is a trick.
* ShoutOut: When Garfield awakens after being knocked out, he says "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz Auntie Em! Auntie Em! Are we still in Kansas?]]"
* WeWantOurJerkBack: Garfield is hit on the head and gets amnesia, becoming a sweet, polite, cat who only eats healthy food and wouldn't dream of kicking Odie off the table. Jon and Odie are worried and take him to the vet. The vet wonders why they want to restore Garfield to normal. By the end of the episode, a second hit has him back to normal. Garfield promptly eats everything in sight and kicks Odie off the table. Jon and Odie couldn't be happier.
* WheelOfDecisions: This episode begins with Garfield spinning a wheel to decide what he does, with the two options being "Sleep" and "Eat". The wheel lands on "Sleep".

!! "I Like Having You Around" provides examples of:

* AchillesInHisTent: When a windstorm hits the farm, Lanolin comes to the old shack Bo moved into to tell him to come back to the farm where it's safe. Bo refuses to come back unless Lanolin admits that she misses him.
* BigSisterInstinct: When a windstorm breaks out, Lanolin is worried about Bo, knowing that the old shack won't survive the storm, and she goes out in the storm to find Bo and bring him back to the farm.
* BigStormEpisode: This episode's climax has a windstorm hit the farm. Everyone on the farm heads into the cellar, but Bo, who now lives in an old abandoned cabin in a hill, refuses to join them unless Lanolin admits that she misses him.
* CountingSheep: Inverted; Bo, a sheep, finds he isn't sleepy, so he decides to count people until he dozes off.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: When the storm breaks out, Lanolin wastes no time in rescuing Bo, then ends up swallowing her pride and telling him she missed him to get him to come back to the farm, realizing it's the only way he'll do so. After rescuing Bo, she sings the eponymous song to prove to him that she cares about him.
* TheRunaway: Bo decides to leave the farm when he believes that Lanolin doesn't want him around, and decides to live in an old, abandoned cabin on the top of a hill.
* ShrunkInTheWash: A variant; Lanolin locks Bo out of the barn during a rainstorm, causing his wool to shrink.


!! "Sales Resistance" provides examples of:

* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: Garfield is forced into a closet by Mr. Finagle, who has entered the Arbuckle house and will not leave; only their eyes are visible before Garfield turns on a light.
* CompressedVice: This episode revolves around Garfield's obsession with buying useless stuff off the Shopping Channel - an obsession which he has only in this episode.
* DeniedFoodAsPunishment: Jon threatens to never feed Garfield lasagna again for the rest of his life (in those exact words) should Garfield spend his money to buy another useless, overpriced item again from a conniving salesman.

When Mr. Finagle comes to Jon's house, Garfield finds out that while the elephant repeller was free, he has to pay a total of $28.00 for handling, delivery, and stocking.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Mr. Finagle sells Jon an elephant repeller, saying that he will pay him $1,000.00 if it doesn't work, despite the the fact there isn't an elephant within 1,000 miles of Jon's house. It turns out that the elephant repeller ''attracts'' elephants, meaning that Mr. Finagle owes Jon $1,000.00.
* LoopholeAbuse: Garfield wants to buy an elephant repeller after seeing it being advertised on the shopping channel. He resists when he remembers Jon threatening to cut off his lasagna for the rest of his life, but when he overhears that the first twenty callers get free elephant repellers, he orders one.
* ObsessiveHobbyEpisode: Jon tells Garfield to not buy stuff from TV informercials, or else he won't get lasagna for the rest of his life. Garfield struggles with this CompressedVice.
