阵界斗从东京转学到爱知县，原本界斗就是一个土生土长的东京人，转学到爱知后，界斗自己还期待周围的同学会说当地的方言，展现独特的生活习俗，但界斗想的太多，同学并没有什么特别明显的不同。直到界斗遇到后辈八十龟最中，加入了学校的写真部，才开始真正的接触爱知地区的名古屋文化与名古屋方言，作为土生土长的名古屋人，八十龟最中对于作为东京土著的阵界斗有一种莫名的对抗感，阵界斗与八十龟酱就在轻松的日常中，介绍名古屋的风土人情。之前名古屋当地为了促进观光，还任命八十龟酱为名古屋观光大使——
In this season, the show went back to airing one new episode a week, but stayed in the hour-length format, filling up the second half-hour with episodes from previous seasons and some of the prime-time specials from the 1980s. This entire season, along with the second half of season 6, is available on Garfield and Friends: Volume 5 DVD set. Also worth noting is that here, a new theme song was added that was written by J.R. Johnston and Neil Panton. The theme was sung by J.R. Johnston. This theme song was not shown internationally, and as a result, it does not appear on the DVDs (although Garfield's quotations are kept intact). This new introduction sequence used most clips from Seasons 5-7 and a few from the first two seasons, as well as Garfield in Paradise and Garfield's Feline Fantasies. The episodes stopped using a few seconds of the theme playing in the episode title cards after season seven's fourth episode; music from the episodes were used in the title cards until the show ended, even though season six used music from some of their episodes.
