Garfield Gets a Life is a half-hour animated television special based on the Garfield comic strip. It once again featured Lorenzo Music as the voice of Garfield. The special was first broadcast May 8, 1991 on CBS. It has been released on both VHS and DVD home video. It was Garfield's final television special, Odie briefly appears in this show.
At first, Jon recognizes that he needs a life-an escape from his boring existence as the guy who arranges his sock drawer. However, Garfield is suffering the same way, even he grows bored with watching his favorite TV show; "Yukon Stinky". Jon tries to read a book called "How to make friends and fool the rest" and He tries to find some girls around town, but none of them are impressed, and they all find him to be a dweeb even a giant thug hates his singing and music playing. One night, he sees an advertisement on TV about "The Lorenzo School for the Personality Impaired" and decides to go there. He meets a lady named Mona and starts a friendship with her without using any of the techniques they learned in class. Garfield, however, knows that their companionship could soon turn into marriage, and that will mean a kid, which Garfield hates. Lisa scratches his back and, when she breaks into a sneeze fit (with her tickled nose), she remembers that she's allergic to cats. Jon decides to take her back to her house, and Garfield chaperones them by sticking on the back window of Jon's car using suction cups, à la the Garfield "Stuck On You" plush toy.
