Here is one of Garfield's least famous and least viewed holiday specials. In all my years I have never see it on TV even when they broad-casted the Christmas and Halloween specials, so I was very thankful when it came out on DVD.
What starts out as another ordinary day takes a sudden twist when Garfield, seeing the daily calendar page has an appointment for him to go to the vet, rips the page off and sees the next day is Thanksgiving. Garfield explains to Odie that Thanksgiving is the day everybody celebrates having food by eating as much of it and trying to eat every turkey, pumpkin and cranberry in existence. He shows the Thanksgiving page to Jon who takes him out to the grocery store to buy lots of food for tomorrow. But instead of going directly home, they head to the vet, who announces Garfield must go on a strict diet, while Jon tries to get her to go out with him. Liz settles for coming over to Thanksgiving dinner, which turns into a disaster when somebody like Jon Arbuckle is left to cook it. Garfield decides if he can't enjoy Thanksgiving dinner, nobody will, but the tables turn when Liz comes and Garfield acts weak so he can eat. With dinner ruined, there's only one thing left for Jon to do, CALL GRANDMA, who loves a challenge, and what he's done to dinner sure as heck looks like one.
This is a very funny and classic Garfield cartoon that I highly recommend to every family and Garfield fan in general, perfect for Thanksgiving. 10 out of 10 stars.
