Briefly Noted…

I got two messages today from folks asking me if Garfield and Friends (a show I done wrote years ago) is coming back to TV. It's back…on the Boomerang network. Every weeknight at 8 PM on the East Coast, 5 PM on the West. Yes, they're still only running 74 of the 121 episodes but they're back on the air. All 121 are available on five DVD sets and some selected episodes will soon be available on single DVDs. Fox Home Video is currently assembling two discs that will be issued separately, though they haven't told me when. One will be called All About Odie and will include episodes that spotlight the empty-headed pooch. The other will be made up of the episodes in which Garfield lectures about how cartoons are made. This one is going to be called something like Behind The Scenes With Garfield but it should be titled Garfield: The Episodes They Didn't Like Over At The Network.
