Garfield television specials

The Garfield television specials are a series of twelve half-hour long American animated television specials based on the "Garfield" comic strip of the same name created by Jim Davis. All twelve specials were directed by Phil Roman, written by Davis, and featuring the voice of Lorenzo Music as the character. The specials were originally broadcast on CBS from 1982 to 1991. Although the first two specials were produced by Lee Mendelson Films, this boutique studio was fully committed to the production of the "Peanuts" animated specials and could not allocate resources for the "Garfield" specials. All of the remaining "Garfield" specials were produced by Roman's production company Film Roman.
Reception.
All the animated specials received Primetime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Animated Program, winning four by 1989, which includes "Garfield on the Town" (1983), "Garfield in the Rough" (1984), "Garfield's Halloween Adventure" (1985), and "Garfield's Babes and Bullets" (1989).
