I really liked U.S. Acres (That's its name in the comics, the name on the show is Orson's Farm.) It's dumb how it was so short lived and wasn't known or respected as much as Garfield was, it only ran as a comic for 3 years, and on Garfield and Friends throughout the whole series and only in the second segment. A full Garfield And Friends episode is 23 minutes, 3 segments, the first segment is Garfield, second is U.S Acres/Orson's Farm, and the third is Garfield again.
FIRST NOTE: This is the 29th 'Orson's Farm' cartoon, next to the 30th one, ever maded!//SECOND NOTE: This short is a parody of 'Star Trek'.//THIRD NOTE: The 'Orson' quickies are removed in syndication (these are one of these problems of WHY syndie edits are very bad).
@RadTheDude He said something similar to "Eat This, Porkons!" Russian-Speaking Booker (as "Chekov") launched the photon tomatoes ("Radioactive Space Ketchup" as one of the Porkons called it).
7:33 When Sheldon sneezes, his sneeze is so powerful that it violently knocks him back a few meters. However, it doesn't break his shell. It just suffers a big, sudden expansion, and bounces right back to its normal form. And the impact from getting Sheldon knocked back doesn't break the shell, either. In the next scene, Sheldon is still wearing his shell on the bed, and his shell appears to be intact. I really wish he took his shell off because I have always been very curious to see his real face. But this scene shows that his shell is VERY difficult to break. The matter of taking that shell off Sheldon is explored in the episode "Shell Shocked Sheldon". (THERE IS A SPOILER AHEAD.) In the episode "Shell Shocked Sheldon", Orson and Booker convince Sheldon to take his shell off. To do so, they took Sheldon to the chicken coop, where Orson put him on a nest and sat on him to hatch him like an egg. The guy was a baby chick inside a chicken egg that wasn't fully hatched. So, it made sense to hatch the egg like a chicken would do. There were no chickens available to sit on the egg, so Orson had to improvise and sit there himself. Orson spent the rest of that day and that whole night sitting on Sheldon. It is only in the NEXT MORNING that the Sheldon is FINALLY ready to break out of his shell. They notice that Sheldon's beak is pecking at the shell from the inside, and Orson hops off to watch as the egg finally finishes hatching. A few cracks appear on the shell and Sheldon cheerflully says: "I'll be out in a second, guys!" The cracks then rapidly spread all over the shell as Sheldon prepares to open his arms to break it open from the inside. Then, his shell FINALLY breaks, and it reveals... ANOTHER SHELL underneath... and that other shell even looks identical to the one that had taken so long to come off! When Sheldon finds out that under his shell was another shell, he is so sad and frustrated that he promptly gives up on being hatched. He gets up and walks away as he says: "I guess I'm just an egg! That's all I am: just a poor, little, defenseless egg!" He looks and sounds clearly sad and resigned to never be able of taking off that damn shell! The only consolation he gets after that is being captured by a fox, then violently beating that fox up in self-defense and guessing that "there's worses thing to be than... an egg". That is the end of the episode. Damn! Sheldon gave up too soon: they broke his shell just once and then he walked away after finding a single shell underneath that one! Who says there would still be another shell underneath if they broke that second shell? Damn! When I saw there was another shell underneath the one they had just broken, I wish that Orson had tried sittinhg on Sheldon again and hatching him again to break that other shell too. If they found yet another (third) shell under that second shell, they should still keep trying to hatch him until they finally revealed his real body, without any shells remaining. If the writers reallly wanted to prevent Sheldon from being fully-hatched, I say they should show Orson sitting on Sheldon again to try breaking his second shell, then skip to a few hours later and show that shell hatching and revealing another shell (a third one). Then, Orson would try sitting on Sheldon yet again to break that third shell, then they would skip to another few hours later to show that shell breaking, revealing yet another (fourth) shell. Orson, again, would sit on Sheldon, they would once more skip to a few hours later, and that shell would break... only to to reveal that Sheldon still had a fifth shell underneath all those shells. After revealing the fifth shell, Sheldon would get justifiably fed up and hopeless. That is when it would make perfect sense for the writers to end the episode the way they actually did. So Sheldon, clearly sad and frustrated, would give up on getting hatched and would leave the chicken coop, saying: "I guess I'm just an egg! That's all I am: just a poor, little, defenseless egg!" Few seconds later, he would be caught by the fox again, then grab the fox by his nose, slam him into the ground a few times, spin around and throw him into the distance, and then conclude there are worse things to be than an egg. Being hatched four times in a row, only to find out that he was still wearing a fifth shell underneath all those four shells that he had taken so many hours to break, would be a very good reason for Sheldon to feel so frustrated that he would be both angry enough to use so much violence and resigned enough to accept there are worse things to be than an egg. Either that, or Sheldon would still be willing to try and break that fifth shell. Once again, Orson would sit on Sheldon, but this time the scene would fade to black, and the episode would end, without showing the fifth shell breaking. That would be a good way to show us that Sheldon would never fully hatch, no matter how many times he and his friends tried.
Famulator Yes indeed -- and if anyone stepped out of line, Miss Piggy would FLATTEN THEM INSTANTLY with a karate chop (HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-YAAAAAAAAHHHHH)! ;^)
Roy: Surely, we're not diverting our course to find out who made that call. Orson: Since our five year mission is to go where nobody's ever been before, we must check it out...and don't call me Shirley. Roy: Surely, you're not gonna bring it aboard. Orson: we've got no choice if we want to find out what it is...and stop calling me Shirley. Roy: Surely, you've gotta have some dishes. Orson: i do...and don't call me Shirley.
@@tnaoro Actually, America is more than just the United States Of America. America is the whole continent, including Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, Suriname, Argentina... Many of these countries have languages that are very different from English. Most of them adopt the Spanish language. But America also has countries where people speak French, Portuguese and lots of the languages spoken by the indigenous peoples that have lived in the continent since long before the Europeans colonized them. And we are all at a website, not necessarily in a specific country. We are writing in English because we are commenting on a video that was posted in English, lots of countries have English as their mother-language and the majority of people who don't have English as their mother-language learn it as a second language. I am one those people myself. My mother-language is Idiotish, because I come from Idiotland, a country of idiots. The rulers are idiots, and their political opponents are idiots too. Intelligent people are regarded as abnormal and dangerous by both political factions. I am an intelligent person, so I have been exiled. I have studied English since I was a teenager. Nowadays, I live in another country, where I have found the job of... Hah!Forget about my job! Talking about my career with a stranger is too boring!
Orson: And don't call me "Shirley"!

AlmightyToonGod
Did you notice that Lanolin the female sheep has big bouncing Tits in the Swine Trek them song?
Epic AIRPLANE reference!
Loved Garfield and friends
Sadly it ended too soon
@@jasonryan3689 7 seasons isn't too shabby.
What a wonderful cartoon, and at this time of the year. 👍
I really liked U.S. Acres (That's its name in the comics, the name on the show is Orson's Farm.)

Am I the only one who saw this before ever seeing Star Trek and still thought it was funny?
Same here.
Classic cold catching cartoon. I love that :)
To ensur
This show is my childhood. I used to watch it all the time. Wade has always been my favourite character, but Roy is a close second.
My favourite characters in this show are Wade and Roy. Also my favourite animal group is felines. My second is birds.
Haha the swine trek song is my favorite song from the series
I remember this from when I was a kid! Great nostalgia! Thanks
Orson: "What do you make of it Wade?"
Wade: "How should I know!? I'm a duck not the Wichita Lineman!"
Touchy much? :P Lol
Tv tropes wasn't kidding, Lanolin has some serious juggs.
Of course, it's only a dream and she's playing an Uhura-type, this being a Star Trek parody and all.
Bo and lanolin are my favorite characters :)
You KNOW a show is terrific when you here Frank Welker speaking Russian.
Andrew Jackson One of the best voice actors ever.
Kiptin.
is Orson Cpt. Kirk and Sheldon is Spock? xD

6:58 wow!
Better than Star Trek Discovery and JJ Abrams crap.
Didn't the Muppet Show have something called the Swine Trek?

+ricsanta1 All except for the dreaded Dearth Nadir. No one messes with that guy.
OK I do have one question though, how did Frank Welker manage to speak Russian for Booker's lines?
Hah, the Piggy poster was clever.
The Russian is really just Russian-sounding gibberish.
Porton!
@soandsothree I loved that running gag for the episode :)
2:35 = Weirdest-looking colds, ever!
Yet no mention of the show's opening element of Swine Flu......
Star trek: the only show that is still popular after so many stupid sequels and parodies to ruin it.

Shirley.
Roy: Surely, you've gotta have some dishes.
Orson: i do...and don't call me Shirley.
I thought he said tissues instead of dishes
Photon Tomatoes (torpedoes)? Were they in the Original series? I only remember them in TNG.
Ok
Orson is WRONG! Lightning can strike the same place again and again - especially in open fields or high spots!
Only in cartoons, me bucko!
