One of the weaker Garfield specials but still worth seeing!

It's the day before Turkey Day, Jon takes Garfield to the vet for an appointment and he has a crush on Dr. Liz Wilson. The cat is recommended to go on a diet for once as it becomes kind of a nightmare for our hero as Jon invites Liz over for Thanksgiving dinner as he try to impress her as fast as possible to make her his girl.

Not as strong as some of the other specials especially my favorite ones being "Christmas" and "Halloween" but still a worthy part of the on-going Garfield specials of the 80's. The story is not too bad but does have a touching moment where everyone is at dinner enjoying their meal with a quality song, Pat Carrol does co-star as a guest as Grandma from the Christmas Special as she returns here.

Trivia
Orson Pig makes a cameo appearance.

Goofs
All the butter on Jon's face and hands disappears when he puts the turkey in the oven.

Quotes
Garfield: Well, I might as well see how the ole diet's going.
[steps on his scale]
RX2: Hello, I'm RX2, your talking scale. I can tell you your weight, your fortune, or just about anything else you would like to know.
Garfield: Okay, smarty pants, what's my name?
RX2: Judging by your weight, you are Orson Welles.
Garfield: Great, her voice chip with a cruel streak.
RX2: May I have your autograph, please?
Garfield: Oh, shut up. Why is everybody picking on me, and what's wrong with being large-boned, anyway?
RX2: I've seen all your movies.
Garfield: Hey, how would you like to have your battery removed?
RX2: I wouldn't like that, Mr. Welles.
Garfield: It's not like I'm all that overweight; I can still see my feet.
RX2: I've seen "Citizen Kane" eight times.
Garfield: All right, that's it, you're history!
[stamps the scale repeatedly till it breaks, then dashes away as his scale beeps]
RX2: [drones] Rosebuuuuuuud...
