You will note that there are no pages on this website devoted to most of the cartoon shows I've written. This is not because I
haven't gotten around to putting them up. It's because I've blanked most of them from my memory. (I did one series I could never even
bring myself to watch.)
Garfield and Friends, however, is a show I very much enjoyed...and one of the few times the end-product sorta/kinda
resembled what I'd imagined...which is not to say I wouldn't rewrite every one of 'em if I had the opportunity. The cast was terrific, the
artists and animators did a splendid job, the network left us completely alone and Jim Davis and Lee Mendelson somehow managed to infuse the project
with a touch of class and excitement.
Anyway, the show's in syndication, now and forever, and negotiations always seem to be going on about doing more episodes. Here's
an article I wrote about the experience, a listing of episodes and a sample script...
