As you might know from this blog, I'm the Supervising Producer of The Garfield Show, which is seen (last I heard) in 110 countries around the globe. I also write and voice-direct and it's a show that's an enormous pleasure to work on. We're presently on hiatus, having done four full seasons plus one special, and the fourth season easily has the best episodes…with some of the best animation I've ever seen done for television.
I keep getting e-mailed questions from Americans who ask when it'll be on. Cartoon Network has the right to run them here or to air them on its sister network, Boomerang. Despite what I'm told are solid, consistent ratings, it comes and goes from both in different time slots. At the moment — and for at least the next month or two — it's airing for three hours a day Monday through Friday and two hours a day on the weekend. That's a lot of Garfield.
But they're still only running the first three seasons. They've had the fourth season episodes for a year or more and have yet to broadcast them. What are they waiting for? How should I know? I'm only the Supervising Producer.
