Garfield in the Rough is a halfhour animated television special based on the Garfield comic strip. It once again featured Lorenzo Music as the voice of Garfield. The special was first broadcast October 26, 1984 on CBS. It has been released on both VHS and DVD home video.

After a long, exhausting journey from Garfields point of view, the trio arrives at the campgrounds to check in, while Garfield immediately taking a dislike to one of the camp rangers for insulting him. After a few shananigans at their campsite, including placing a live fish in the coffee pot, Jon finally gets his new super deluxe tent set up, although the result doesnt really match the ad. Unlike Jon, who is very enthusiastic about it, Garfield doesnt take to the outdoors, stating that it would be greater if it were inside. As night falls, the trio listen to the radio which is interrupted by news of a black panther that has escaped from a zoo lurking in the Lake Woebegone woods area. Right after this news on the radio, the announcer says We now return to our regular broadcast of fun music. It then plays very depressing music. Garfield and Odie are terrified and want to leave but Jon assures them that Lake Woebegone is miles from their location and that theyre perfectly safe. Following the announcement they sing a song and endure Jons banjo playing then go to bed. After they go into their tent, on the hilltops, the panther comes out and growls as it eyes their campsite.The next day, Odie wakes Jon up at the crack of dawn by licking his feet. This sends Jon rolling down the hill into the lake while still in his tent with Garfield in tow. Odie then runs off into the nearby woods, passing a sign that reveals to be the Lake Woebegone area that the panther is lurking in. The forest rangers are hunting for the panther, and attempt to warn Jon to evacuate, but, after finding no one there, leave a note and move on. This proves unfortunate as a gust of wind kicks up after they leave, tossing the message into a recently extinguished campfire, where it burns up. Despite not hearing a maneating beast growling in the night, Jon does find out that Garfield and Odieto a lesser extent have eaten all the food for the week, except for the dried fruit. Garfield decides to pass off Jon
