On this episode of the Retroist Podcast, I talk about the 1989 Thanksgiving TV special, Garfield’s Thanksgiving. I start off the show talking about the pecking order of holiday specials. It is my belief that you should give some of the “B-Team” specials a chance and I hope I can ease you into moving away from the larger ones with Garfield’s Thanksgiving.
After my story, I move onto the special itself. I discuss the man who created Garfield and its evolution in the comic strip, the cast of the special, the plot, and much much more.
I really do enjoy Garfield Specials. That cat is iconic and although wildly popular, I don’t think these specials get the respect they deserve, so I hope you will check it out.
