IIRC, one of the voices on “The Real Ghostbusters” was also the voice of Garfield the Cat. He was always wise-cracking and saying stuff kind of under his breath. I think it changed when Garfield became a full time cartoon, and not just the occasional 30 minute prime time special. Also, here’s one to get stuck in your head: _Gummi bears. . .bouncing here and there and EV-REE-WHERE something adventure that’s beyond compare We are the gummi bears_ ---

Does anyone remember “Beverly Hills Teens” from the 80’s? ---

_[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers](http://www.thegalaxyrangers.com)_ was a fun show. Much better than average as far as writing, it was sure to have at least one gut-buster per episode. Example: Ranger: “What do you know about the murder?” Suspect: “It was successful.” 😃 ---

[QUOTE=jali] Does anyone remember “Beverly Hills Teens” from the 80’s? [/QUOTE] Yes. But so vaguely that I always thought I imagined it. ---

[QUOTE=Trunk] IIRC, one of the voices on “The Real Ghostbusters” was also the voice of Garfield the Cat. He was always wise-cracking and saying stuff kind of under his breath. [/QUOTE] The late Lorenzo Music did the voice of the animated Garfield as well as the animated Peter Venkman from Real Ghostbusters. Interestingly, Bill Murray, who played Venkman in the two Ghostbusters movies, did the voice of the CGI Garfield in the more recent movies.
