I've been watching Season 4 - or 5...cannot remember...they are both awesome coz they have the GOOD theme music.
Anyway there is a matchmaker episode where Jon is duped into dating some hot girl so she can dump him on TV. Anyway, the host's name of this Dating Show is "Skip Yenta". HA that's a pretty obvious inside joke. Are there any more good ones anyone knows about?

Sorry I don't get that inside joke either. Care to explain it?
shareI think I know a great inside joke. In "Ghost of a Chance", Garfield says he'll call the Ghostbusters and then remembers their show was cancelled, Lorezno Music who does the voice for Garfield did the voice of Peter Venkman in the early episodes of the Real Ghostbusters cartoons.
sharethat's a good one :)
ok it's been a while, but the Skip Yenta ref is this...a Yentl (in Hebrew), is a matchmaker...the word is kind of pronounced "Yenta." So, Skip Yenta means...forget the matchmaker. Interesting, for a host of a dating show.
On another note...I am looking for an episode or quickie in which Jon is trying to get Garfield off a couch or bed or something, but at one point Garfield protests by yelling "I'm WARM AND COZY." I know, nothing groundbreaking but I am looking for it for someone very special who loves the show...
Google searches of all incarnations don't seem to work....
thanks
Everybody likes the Shen.
"Warm and Cozy" is from the Garfield quickie in episode 68 between "Bouncing Baby Blues" and "The Ugly Duckling".
shareOld thread here, but another inside joke was used in the episode "The Curse Of Klopman".
Garfield and Jon get back home after Garfield is awarded the Klopman Diamond per stipulations from a will of Jon's distant relative. The deceased's business partner chases them back to their house trying to get the diamond for himself. He then pounds on the door of the house, and when Garfield answers, he goes "Hello, this is Garfield your doorman"
This is a reference to the TV show "Rhoda", in which Lorenzo Music was the voice of the unseen doorman for the building in which Rhoda lived in
Also in the episode "Safe At Home", Mr. Fluster (the owner of the company that installs the security system in Jon's house) dresses up as a guard and won't let Jon into his own house under ANY circumstance, even repeatedly stating certain rules. Mr. Fluster is voiced by legendary Don Knotts, and the character is parodying Knott's famous character Barney Fife and his "by-the-book" attitude
There is also an episode where Garfield is answering the door, and while he is answering the door he is humming the theme from the Bob Newhart show. Lorenzo Music helped write the theme!
