    ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made
    Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
    FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.
    PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
    FilmBuff1994 Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law is a great television series with well written episodes and a top notch voice cast. It is a really bizarre show that fans of both Adult Swim's content and Hanna Barbera cartoons will enjoy. The characters, most of whom are based off original HB characters, are terrific, with a lot of scope and personality put in to them in just 11 minute programmes, Harvey and Phil stand out in particular. However, it does suffer from the same problem as most Adult Swim shows, in that it sometimes gets too convoluted for its own good. There are episodes that go to uncomfortable places that are not even humorous, more so just looking for a reaction. The voice cast is all around tremendous, Gary Cole is top notch as Harvey, making his ridiculous dialogue always sound authentic, and Stephen Colbert knocks it out of the park in his various roles. There are also many great guest appearances throughout the forty episodes, a lot of whom reprise characters they voiced in the shows their from, such as Frank Welker as Fred Jones, Scott Innes as Shaggy & Scooby and Maurice LeMarche as Droopy, it was amazing to see how many people got behind this insanity. Ridiculously weird and enjoyable. Strange from the get go, Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law certainly is not for everyone, but who it is for will love it. A former superhero takes up a career in law to protect well known cartoon characters. Best Episode: The Dabba Don / Worst Episode: Grodin
    coffeemon Out of all of the Adult Swim shows this one is one of the best. It follows Harvey Birdman, a superhero gone attorney who went to a 3-hour law school, works with a purple hippo, and whose boss can't wait to fire him. Some situations show Shaggy and Scooby-Doo smoking pot, Race Bannon fighting for custody, and Secret Squirrel flashing people. All of these situations are handled masterfully and couldn't have been done better. If you're looking for a fun Hanna Barbera attorney romp you're in the right place. My recommendations for episodes are The Dabba Don, Blackwatch Plaid, and Bannon Custody Battle.
    mr-payton Harvey Birdman started out with high hopes. Episodes like "Dabba Don", "Very Personal Injury" and "Deadomutt" (my personal favorite) were pure genius. Then, horrible things started to happen, which just ruined the whole show.Somewhere in the middle of the second season, they forgot all about the "Attorney at Law" part, and the writers started throwing in tons of non-sequiturs between scenes, like characters popping in randomly for cheap laughs, the Bear doing dumb stuff for no reason, Peter Potamus's libido jokes, all kinds of lame one-shot gags.It didn't bother me at first because the courtroom bits took a backseat to stuff that was actually FUNNY, like that one ep where Peanut starts to gain his superpowers and the adults treat the whole thing like puberty. But then that stupid Yakky Doodle episode with the efficiency guy comes along, and that's when I knew this show was officially done for.
    Björn Flink Most comments have already brought up the jest of what it is, so I'll keep it personal. My favourite cartoon shows of all time in no particular order: Family Guy, Simpsons, Futurama, South Park, Ren and Stimpy, Brak Show, Sealab 2021, Space Ghost CTC and of course this. Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. Although I must admit to having laughed more painfully (shortness of breath, etc) at Ren and Stimpy, Harvey Birdman keeps em coming much faster. It's insane in the best way possible. Ties with Sealab 2021 for most demented characters. I might be slightly biased because Birdman was my favourite HB cartoon, though. If you like any of the shows mentioned above, be sure to find this one.
