“虫”既不是动物，也不是微生物，而是一种自然界中无处不在的力量，拥有独特的生命形态，偶尔和人类生命产生交汇，便生出一些奇妙的故事。但人们即使得知了“虫”的存在，大部分时候也不知如何应对，这便需要“虫师”出马。 银古就是一位虫师，他一头银发，年纪尚轻，但已经半生游历，经过一个个山野、村庄，为人们解决“虫”的问题，通过和被“虫”困扰的人们接近，他也接近了许多故事。银古的游历像风一样，再惊心动魄的“虫”似乎都融化在水墨样的山峦叠嶂间，芸芸众生也是过眼云烟，淡淡的故事里没有哀伤只有静穆。

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.
