Garfield Holiday Collection

First off, the DVD copy I received had no audio/video issues whatsoever. Not only was the audio mixed properly but I was actually surprised of the video quality. I found the colors to be surprisingly vibrant and almost as if they have a slight "saturated" look to them. I think the production company did a fine job of making the transfer from original format to DVD. Perhaps the original copies had some known issues that they worked out? Again, no audio/video issues with this purchase. I have to admit I never got a chance to see these TV specials when they originally aired but I was a huge fan off the Garfield and Friends TV show back in the 80s growing up and that's ultimately what swayed me to make this purchase. And, I'm glad I did because this Garfield Holiday Collection totally delivers! So nostalgic to see Garfield when the animated cartoon was in it's prime. Not only will you enjoy the superb holiday specials but also get two additional episodes thrown in for free (along with some DVD extras as well) The price alone is worth the buy. I highly recommend this DVD. If you have younger kids that have not experienced the older cartoons like this and the Peanuts holiday specials I think they would really enjoy it! Thanks Amazon, 5 stars.

The Garfield Christmas is one of my husband's favorite holiday movies that he remembers watching as a kid. It was very hard to track down the original version but here it is! The quality is good and it is a reasonable price. If you are expecting crystal clear HD images then you will be disappointed, however that is part of the nostalgia of old movies.

Finally all the holiday specials are back on DVD.. Do not know what sound or visual problems some of the other reviews are talking about.. It looks and sounds fine... Very worth picking up if you do not have the old collection... Yeah you have to play each special one by one cause there is no play all option ,but that's not a very big deal... Very glad I picked this DVD up.

My grandson already loved the Garfield holiday specials but this wonderful DVD offers what for him are two new episodes - Garfield in Paradise and Garfield on the Town. He loves these every bit as much as the Christmas, Thanksgiving and Halloween episodes. We have already watched the two new episodes at least 2 dozen times each. Go, go, Garfield!

The Garfield Holiday Collection Collector's Edition is no longer a Wal-Mart exclusive. With that put aside, this dvd set is great to own since CBS no longer airs these holiday specials during the holidays. The new Collector's Edition by Anderson Digital includes all three Garfield holiday classics; A Garfield Christmas, Garfield's Thanksgiving, and Garfield's Halloween Adventure. This dvd set also includes two bonus episodes; Garfield on the Town, and Garfield In Paradise. Also included are some special features.There are two different versions of this dvd, however. One version of this dvd has some audio problems during Garfield in Paradise. During some of the dialogue, the music plays louder than the characters while they're speaking. Throughout a large portion of the episode, the music is loud, and the characters speak low, causing you to have to readjust the volume back and forth.The other version of this dvd seems to fix the audio issues, although the problem slightly persists. However, during the Christmas episode, the part where Grandma plays the piano is missing. That part is replaced with the mom playing piano, and the family singing Christmas tunes. Both versions have the exact same case and artwork, so there's no way to tell which version has the corrected audio and which has the original piano scene.Overall, this set, hopefully you'll receive the one with the corrected audio, is a must-own for any fan of Garfield. Although I still prefer the original 2004 dvd released by 20th Century Fox, I highly recommend owing this dvd set because it comes with extra episodes and special features.

I grew up watching these, and it has been great sharing them with my kids. My son is obsessed with Garfield Halloween and the "pirates". Christmas is great. Skip the Thanksgiving episode. It's weird.

This is a holiday classic that always makes its way off the shelf starting in October all through December. This DVD set includes three Garfield holiday specials, as well as a few extra cartoons. All three of the specials are wonderful and full of the Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas spirit. Watching this collection is always a tradition.

Works great. Love all the episodes
