The Cat Comes Back

I seem to always forget to mention my own endeavors here. The main one lately, at least of those that are currently available for your patronage, is still The Garfield Show, which is produced for the international market and seen in the U.S. on Cartoon Network according to some erratic schedule I won't pretend I understand. As far as I can tell, whenever they air it, they're still airing episodes from Season One. The second season is rolling off the assembly line and it's already airing in some countries. When will Season Two air here? Your guess is not only as good as mine…it's probably better. Whenever Cartoon Network feels like running 'em, I guess.

We did 26 half-hours for Season One, 26 more for Season Two and we're just about to start on another 26 for Season Three…and I guess I need to say the following and phrase it as delicately as I can: There are no job openings on the show. You'd be amazed how many e-mails and phone calls I get from writers, artists and especially voice actors in need of employment. I'm sorrier than you can imagine to have to inform them all that all the positions are filled and it's darn near impossible there will be any openings.

The first DVD of cartoons from the series has been released and the second will be out in January. Amazon is also offering one of those fabulous package deals they have where you can buy both at one time and save an entire penny!

And that's about everything I have to say at the moment. If and when I find out when Season Two will be catchable in this country, I'll let you know.
