小新今年5岁了，不要以为他是那种懵懂无知的小孩，他其实人小鬼大，喜欢漂亮的姐姐，收养了一条棉花糖一样的流浪狗——小白，还经常讲些无厘头的黄色笑话。小新的妈妈美伢是一个全职主妇，粗心而又有点神经质的她经常被小新捉弄得七窍生烟，爸爸野原亦经常被这两母子搞得晕头转向。 《蜡笔小新》的作者以一个5岁小童的眼光，40岁的成年人的心态去观察这个大千世界，看到了许多光怪陆离的景象，小新一家的幽默故事亦由此产生。
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.
