Overview

Garfield's Garbage Can and Tin Pan Alley Revue (mistakenly titled Garfield's Garbage Can and Tin Pan Alley Review) is the third segment from the 105th episode of Garfield and Friends.

Synopsis[]

Garfield puts on a variety show out on the backyard fence.

Plot[]

During one night in the Arbuckle backyard, the neighborhood pets have gathered to watch Garfield's "Garbage Can and Tin Pan Alley Revue". Once Floyd announces the show, Garfield and Floyd start the show off with a song-and-dance number, much to the irritation of Jon as the noise prevents him from sleeping. The number does not bring much applause. Nermal cuts into the act to sing about how cute he is. Nermal is eventually given the hook to everybody's applause, and Garfield continues his performance. He announces a magical trick to be on schedule now.

Odie then pops up, asking to do an act of his own, to which Garfield obliges. He has a record player playing "Beautiful Dreamer", to which he lip-syncs. Although Garfield sabotages the act by slowing down and speeding up the record, Odie manages to keep up with the song perfectly, although with considerable effort. Odie ends his performance by landing outside the stage. Jon cannot sleep.

Garfield's next act is a magic show, "The Great Linguini", in which he makes four meals "disappear" behind his "magical curtain". Garfield starts with a tuna sandwich on rye, then he proceeds to a hot-dog and a taco, then he ends with a multi-storey cake. Garfield swallows the food he has kept inside his cheeks, then he thanks the audience. The noise is still tormenting Jon. When Nermal attempts to interrupt again, Garfield changes his act a bit by putting Nermal in a box that ends up on the next mail truck to Abu Dhabi. Jon is so bothered by the revue noise, that he gets entangled in bed linen and falls from the bed.

Being no longer able to stand the noise, Jon comes out and complains about Garfield making noise. A police officer arrives and demands explanation. Jon claims that animals from the neighborhood were making noise, but the alley is empty. Jon eventually points at Garfield and tells him to show his performance. The police officer arrests Jon for disturbing peace. Jon argues that the animals are responsible, only for them to play dumb, leaving Jon to get dragged off. The police officer drags Jon away. With the intermission over, Garfield performs a big finale with Odie, Floyd and a returning Nermal, who still keeps the package he is out inside.
