[edit] Episode recap

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Jon comes home with a new satellite dish, after he sets it up, he reads a warning stating that lasagna shouldn’t be brought anywhere near the unit. He then goes into the house and tells Garfield not to watch television all night. Garfield (armed with a pan of microwave lasagna) and Odie turn the TV on, but they don’t get a clear picture. Garfield concludes that Jon didn’t hook the dish up right, and he walks outside (still with the lasagna) to fix it.

Garfield climbs into the dish to try to fix it, and at one point he drops the lasagna in the dish; then he is zapped away. Meanwhile, Odie is watching an old black-and-white Frankenstein-like movie, and the monster under the sheet on the operating board turns out to be Garfield. He then asks for Odie’s help to get out of the TV universe.

After Odie flips through a few channels, Garfield ends up in a pet shop where the announcer treats the pets like used cars. After introducing Garfield, he throws in a free muffler (the clothing-related item rather than the car-related item). Garfield then asks for Odie’s help once more, but his impression on the remote control causes it to fall off the easy chair and break.

Garfield is then automatically flipped through various channels, and the picture is being lost until Jon snaps Odie and him back to reality. He and Odie had been asleep in front of the television, and Jon turns it off before he and Odie walk off. Garfield then concludes that the whole thing was a dream, but then he realizes that he is wearing the muffler from the pet store ad. He then looks over the chair and sees the broken remote control.

Spoilers end here.
