Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law Audience Reviews

Console best movie i've ever seen.
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
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.
zetes The first show that ever aired on Cartoon Network's revolutionary Adult Swim lineup, this series of 11-minute episodes has aired sporadically over the last six years. It will probably only work for those who, like me, were raised on cheap, awful Hanna-Barbera cartoons. The premise is that superhero Birdman has now retired from fighting crime and has become a defense attorney. Most of his clients are Hanna-Barbera characters. The appeal of the show is its quick wit. The lines and visual jokes are delivered at such a rapid speed, it can be difficult to keep up. Look away for a second, and you might miss the funniest joke in the episode. Which is actually cool, because it makes the episodes worth watching multiple times. The best character in the show is Peter Potamus, who was originally a hippo who could travel through time in his magical balloon. Now he's a lawyer working at the same firm as Birdman. His character is that of a total lecher, and he often pops up randomly asking characters in a suggestive manner: "Didja get that thing I sent ya?" I have no clue why that's so damn funny, but it cracks me up every time.
Shawn Watson I first came across Birdman while on holiday in Majorca when I was 13. I remember vividly watching it with these 2 hot German twins and laughing whenever he shouted 'Bi-ii-irdMAN'. It was really, really corny. But this was back in the day when Cartoon Network didn't have much to show other than the really old-fashioned 1960's and 70's stuff. The last thing I ever imagined is that Birdman would come back in the 21st century to be re-invented as Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law at the Sebben and Sebben law firm.He's a bit of a dunderhead. And a bighead and a sociophobe and rude but you can't help but love him. Avenger is still his sidekick (only cuter than he was previously) and his boss is Phil Ken Sebben, a one-eyed ladies man. Among the various, random people who work for the firm are Peanut (a Birdman wannabe), Peter Potamus, Reducto and a big cuddly bear who always seems to be smiling (and applauding all on his own at inappropriate moments). My fave character has to be Judge Mentok the Mindtaker (OOOOO-EEEEEE-OOOOOO-EEEEEE!!!!), he just really, really funny.Harvey's typical cases involve him defending the likes of Shaggy and Scooby, Fred Flintstone, Boo-Boo and George Jetson. Getting in the way of cases going smoothly are and abundance of rapid-fire jokes that come at you from all angles and will probably disorientate you if you're not sure where they're coming from. Sometimes you might have to watch an episode twice as the the dialogue is usually delivered very quickly and you might lose your place among the cryptic references and wildly outlandish humor.In truth, it's a show for Adults. Even though the jokes are only mildly suggestive there is no way a child could fully understand everything that is going on unless they are an uber-uber-geek. This is a show made for people who love stuff like Family Guy, not Spongebob Squarepants.Oh, and I love that theme song. They must release some kind of soundtrack CD for this show. Why? Because Mentok WILLS it so!
mattrb3 This show is soooo funny. It is the best cartoon on cartoon network! It is about Harvey Birdman, an attorney, and his partner, Peanut, who stand up for characters in parodies of other cartoons. You should really watch it if you get the chance. ^_^
