I'm getting an average of one e-mail per day lately asking me when the new Garfield animated series — the one I've been working on for more than a year — will debut. Well, it has debuted. It's on France 3, which is the second largest French public television channel and it's doing so well there that we're about to start on a second season. 26 half-hours have been done and production will soon commence on 26 more. I've been writing and voice-directing. We do both of those in English.
And for some reason, I'm also listed as Supervising Producers. (Titles with "producer" in them can mean almost anything. I worked on a TV show once that had two Executive Producers. One worked a 60+ hour week, involved in every stage of production. The other did absolutely nothing on the series…and I mean nothing, apart from cashing large paychecks. I don't think he even watched the show.)
So it is on. It just isn't on in America yet. When might that happen? I have no idea. I mean, I'm sure that's going to happen but I don't know when or where. As soon as something's firm, I'll report it here.
