Scrambled Eggs

Orson narrates a flashback that began when a mother turtle was burying her unhatched son in the sand before she left to go bowling. The baby soon unburied himself and exposed his legs through the egg (not unlike Sheldon) because he didn't want to live life as a turtle. He then ran away and past his mother, who quickly pursued him.

Meanwhile, Booker and Sheldon split up just before Booker goes on a worm hunt. The mother turtle mistook Sheldon for her baby and took him home despite Sheldon insisting that he's a chick, not her baby. Booker set a trap for a worm that backfired when the worm interfered, and at the end, Booker found the baby turtle (whom he mistakes for Sheldon) and went back to the farm with him.

During all this, Roy's latest prank was industrial-strength sneezing powder. He found Wade sleeping and tried it out on him, which caused him to sneeze uncontrollably and eventually sneeze through the side of the barn. Roy then came across the turtle and also mistook him for Sheldon, and he shook the sneezing powder on him. The turtle sneezed into a cloud of smoke, and when the smoke cleared, Roy found the turtle and the pieces of the shell. Instead of concluding that the turtle had been inside the egg, he thought that Sheldon's sneeze evaporated him.

While the mother turtle sat on Sheldon to hatch him, Sheldon turned on his barbecue, which became so hot that the mother jumped up screaming. Sheldon then ran away with the mother a little ways behind him, and the baby turtle came running in the other direction and crashed into Sheldon. Sheldon then ran off again just before the mother ran up, and she recognized her hatched baby and left with him. Back on the farm, Roy mourned Sheldon until he ran past him; then Roy picked him and up and promised to never play another prank (until next week's show). After Orson concludes the flashback, Wade goes by, still sneezing from the sneezing powder.

Beginning with season two, the Garfield and Friends show was expanded to an hour-length format, allowing six episodes to air each week.

Following in the footsteps of Peanuts, Jim Davis' Garfield began as a syndicated newspaper comic strip (1978) before moving on to primetime TV specials and then to a Saturday morning series.

The "And Friends" portion of the show centered on the characters from another Davis comic strip, the underrated U.S. Acres. Taking place on a farm, the segments featured a menagerie of highly colorful personalities: the leader, Orson, a kindly pig who was often the brunt of the jokes; Sheldon, a baby chicken who refused to hatch all the way, and so remained with all but his legs in the shell; Booker, his brother, who did make it out; Wade, a nervous duck who persistently wore an inflatable tube around his waist; and Roy, the wisecracking rooster.

The show enjoyed a successful seven-year run on CBS, and Garfield continues to be one of the most popular strips in the funny pages.
