"Garfield and Friends" Characters Quiz

Answer: U.S. Acres

"U.S. Acres" was usually more themed towards a slightly younger audience than the rest of the show. Almost every episode included a song, and usually, there was a prominent moral to be learned by the end.

Answer: Penelope

Arlene is the name of Garfield's girlfriend in the comic strip, but for some reason, she was switched out for Penelope in the T.V. series. Penelope was voiced by Victoria Jackson.

Answer: He was never fully hatched

Orson attempted to hatch him in the episode "Shell Shocked Sheldon", but it turned out that there was another shell underneath the first shell. Sheldon had quite a few amenities in his shell, including a microwave oven, a barbecue grill, and a pinball machine.

Answer: Al G. Swindler

Somehow, Garfield would always manage to get Jon's money back. Al was voiced by Carl Ballantine.

Answer: Get Jon to sell Garfield to him

In "Skyway Robbery", Al put Jon on a plane to Miami that he was piloting, even though he didn't actually know how to fly a plane. In "Lemon Aid", Al faked a telephone contest in order to give Jon a new car in exchange for the car that Jon already had.

The "new car" was actually a dilapidated wreck from Al's dealership that he was trying to get rid of. When Jon asked incredulously, "That's a new car?", Al responded with, "Well, it's new to you, isn't it?" In "Home Sweet Swindler", Al tricked Jon into selling his house to him by orchestrating fake problems with the house and making Jon think that the house was in such bad shape that it had to be sold.

Answer: Madman Murray

Madman Murray only appeared in a few episodes, but he was a memorable character, nonetheless. He always dressed in the most colorful and outlandish clothes possible. He was not actually insane, but he was quite the savvy businessman. He is thought to have been modeled after Crazy Eddie, the popular electronics store owner of the '70s and '80s. He was voiced by Gregg Berger.

Answer: Barry

The Buddy Bears were extremely annoying and always tried to spread their self-righteousness around. However, their methods were more than questionable. For example, in one episode of "U.S. Acres", they dropped a 16-ton safe onto Roy Rooster when he was hired to portray a "bad example". The lesson was, "Don't misbehave, or else someone will drop a 16-ton safe on you".

Answer: Benny Hill

Don Knotts played a rule-obsessed home security system salesman in the episode "Safe at Home". George Foreman played George Fisticuff, a boxer (surprise), in the episode "Food Fighter". James Earl Jones played Diablo, a large, intimidating ghost, in the episode "Ghost of a Chance". Other guest stars included Robin Leach, Buddy Hackett, and Imogene Coca.

Answer: Wade

Frank Welker only voiced characters on "U.S. Acres", for some reason, including Bo the sheep and Booker and Sheldon the chicks. Wade the duck was voiced by Howard Morris.

Answer: The Klopman Diamond

The diamond even got its own episode, "The Curse of Klopman", in which Garfield is bequeathed the diamond by one of Jon's cousins who held a grudge against him. Various near-death experiences befell him until he sold it, after which the curse shifted to the new holder of the diamond.
