Back when we reported about the Garfield as Himself DVD release of 3 specials from the fat cat's series, we mostly got...disappointment. Most readers wanted to get the first season of the Garfield and Friends series itself. "Be patient", we told you.

 

Your patience has paid off. Taking a bit longer to be ready to show off, like a slow-cooked lasagna, we now word from online e-tailer DVDEmpire.com that Garfield and Friends - Volume 1 is ready to be served up to hungry fans on July 27th.

 

There was some preliminary word about this a few days ago from Diamond Previews, the pre-order catalog from the comic book dealers' wholesale distributor. The info from Diamond and from DVDEmpire doesn't quite match up, though, so we'll have to wait for official word from Fox Home Video to know what's really what.

 

What DVDEmpire has to say is that the box set "featur(es) 24 episodes of the hilarious animated Saturday morning TV series...each episode contains a Garfield sandwich, featuring two slices of Garfield & Friends and a chewy center of U.S. Acres, the show featuring Garfield's farm-fresh friends, also created by comic genius Jim Davis. " List price is shown there to be $29.95. This results in more content for less cost than Diamond Previews had predicted.

 

Who's right? We'll let you know when Fox gives us the for-sure word, which could be any day now. In the meantime, feel free to place your pre-order for this set at DVDEmpire's great pre-order price of just $20.07...to buy it, just click here.

 

Seeing they made 121 episodes in all, that means we'll be able to get the whole series eventually for roughly $100.

 

Nice.

That is one hell of a good price for 24 episodes. I think I am gonna have to do it.

Get set for the first Garfield & Friends collection, featuring 24 episodes of the hilarious animated Saturday Morning TV series starring that fat and sassy feline who lives for lasagna and can't stand diets, exercise and Mondays! Along with his not-too-bright pooch pal, Odie, and gullible owner, Jon, Garfield coughs up a hairball of humor that every human will love. Each episode contains a Garfield sandwich, featuring two slices of Garfield & Friends and a chewy center of U.S. Acres, the show featuring Garfield's farm-fresh friends, also created by comic genius Jim Davis.

 

Fox has officially announced a release date of July 27th for the first release of Garfield and Friends. This 3 disc set will contain 24 episodes of the Saturday morning TV series, totalling 576 minutes. The set will carry a suggested retail price of $39.98 US and $54.98 CAN, which is different from the information we obtained from the DVDEmpire listing of the title.
