The Garfield Show

Many crew members from the previous animated series based on Garfield that debuted in 1988 returned to work on The Garfield Show.

The animation for the series was handled by Dargaud Media's in-house animation development studio and later Ellipse Films in France and at Dargaud Media's fellow Belgian animation production studio DreamWall for season 1.

When the series was renewed for seasons 2 and 3, animation production was transferred to Singaporan animation entertainment company Infinite Frameworks (who had co-handled animation services on Contraptus and Chicken Town produced by Dargaud Media's fellow production studio Ellipsanime Productions in which DreamWall had involvement), whilst Tunisia VFX & animation studio CGS Real Dream Studio co-handled animation services for the series' third season.

Justin Felix of DVD Talk gave the show 2.5 out of 5 stating that "The Garfield Show isn't some great work of art, but it efficiently delivers cartoon animal fun that little kids would probably enjoy.

The animation is a tad rudimentary and clunky at times, but it's good enough to pass muster for cartoon fare of this type." Mike Gencarelli of Media Mikes gave the show 3.5 out of 5 stating "it doesn't compare to the classic Jim Davis cartoon but it is all we have right now."

The series premiered in France on France 3 on 22 December 2008 and in Japan on NHK in early 2009.
