Jon Arbuckle (The Garfield Show, seasons 1-3)

Jon Arbuckle is the tritagonist of the Garfield franchise and one of the main characters of The Garfield Show. He is the owner of mh:greatcharacters:Garfield and Odie. He was voiced by Wally Wingert.

Sadly, he has been flanderized in The Garfield Show, but redeemed himself in season 4.

Wretched Qualities
NOTE: This is only focusing in the first three seasons of the CGI reboot The Garfield Show, since the original Jon from the 1980s version, the comic books version and the version in the fourth and fifth seasons of The Garfield Show of Jon are likable.
 * 1) Like how mh:greatcharacters:Garfield and Nermal got flanderized in the show, he was flanderized into a bumbling, idiotic, and unlikable jerk who is mostly mean-spirited towards Garfield (and later Odie, as there are early exceptions in WHWALOtFaO (BQ)#4).
 * 2) He became even more stupid than he was in the comics in these seasons.
 * 3) He gives Garfield and Odie harsh punishments, even when they did nothing wrong, such as locking them outside.
 * 4) He even blamed Garfield for things Odie did when he was turned into a were-dog when there's no way possible that Garfield could've done those things proving his stupidity.
 * 5) * Though to be fair, it makes sense why he thought Garfield ate the lasagna for ten people, Garfield loved that lasagna and he tried to resist it, but it doesn't make sense why he thinks Garfield wrecked the room, Garfield suggested that maybe Odie did it, but Jon said "Don't try to pin this on poor, sweet, harmless Odie! Odie couldn't do something like this" Which just shows how, brainless, he is.
 * 6) *This cycle happens again in "Little Yellow Riding Hood" when Odie steals a cheesecake and feeds it to a baby wolf all while Garfield is napping. Jon, who is at his absolute worst here, then immediately blames Garfield and even has the gall to taunt him for the majority of the episode. He even idiotically assumed Garfield ate his steak when it was the mother wolf who ate it while they weren't looking. This shows that he clearly didn't learn his lesson.
 * 7) Even worse, in "King Nermal", when he saw Nermal's leg okay when it was "broken before" (Nermal faked the fracture), he thinks it's getting better. Wow Jon, how stupid are you?
 * 8) *Later on, after Garfield and Odie break all their bones and can't eat food for a whole month, Jon eats lasagna in front of them and even has the gall to taunt them for not being able to eat. What a nice owner, right?
 * 9) *He even kicked Garfield and Odie out of the house in these seasons, twice. Isn't that just cute?
 * 10) He was not any better in Meet the Parents he rudely snaps at Garfield for touching Liz's pet canary. He even went as far as to threatening to serve him only bread and water for the rest of his life, which is very unhealthy for cats in real life. However, it was somewhat justified that Jon was worried he was going to eat him. He also scolded Odie just for trying to lick Mrs. Wilson. Even worse, he did it in a mean-spirited way that made him very unlikable in this episode.
 * 11) His stupidity has gotten to the point where he starts becoming a bad owner to Garfield and Odie.
 * 12) He has provided a lot of stupid, atrocious, or infamously mean-spirited lines such as:
 * 13) *Everything you see on the internet is absolutely true!
 * 14) *Hi Nermal! Oh! Your leg is gotten better!
 * 15) *An even this infamous line: Garfield..Odie..𝙊𝙐𝙏 𝙊𝙁 𝙏𝙃𝙄𝙎 𝙃𝙊𝙐𝙎𝙀! 𝙉𝙊𝙒!!
 * 16) His voice can be pretty annoying at times.

Good Qualities

 * 1) He still takes care of Garfield and Odie.
 * 2) * While he sometimes treats Garfield in a mean-spirited way, you can hardly blame him if you had a lazy and irresponsible pet cat like Garfield, given that Garfield hardly obeys him, spends his money on food without asking him, gets angry if he commits any innocent mistake and sometimes mocks him behind his back.
 * 3) He apologizes for some of his actions.
 * 4) He was a lot more funny and likable in the original comics, Garfield & Friends and even the direct-to-video trilogy. and likewise, he is less of an idiot and doesn't punish Garfield and Odie harshly often and more in line with his original likable counterpart since season 4.
 * 5) He still has some funny moments here and there, and sometimes has his original personality on some occasions.
 * 6) *"Did you really think you could defeat me, wretched fool?"
 * 7) Wally Wingert still does a great job at voicing him.
 * 8) His design is still great and iconic.
