Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

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.

"Harvey Birdman : Attorney at Law " is simply one of the best shows of Adult Swim . The show takes an adult perspective of the Hannah Barbera characters in the most unexpected and unpredictable ways . The stories are very well written and many parts of the show made me laugh a lot . The characters are very likable ,the voices are good and everything in this show is very funny and original . From the first episode "Bannon Custody Battle " the show catch me . I love the weirdness of this show .I guess that is one of the best things of the show ,for it unusual style of comedy . This is one of my favorite cartoons with "Aqua Teen Hunger " ,"Sealab 2021 " and "Space Ghost Coast to Coast " .

This is one of the true gems of cartoons- right up there with Dilbert and Futurama. It revolves around the stories of one Harvey Birdman; a lawyer for the firm Sebben and Sebben who every week has to deal with cases of Hanna Barbara indiscretions- including Secret Squirrel flashing his 'gadget', Shaggy and Scooby being pulled for drug abuse and Quick Draw being arrested on the charge of carrying a concealed guitar. Suffice to say this ain't a kids show and its all the better for it with all the voice talents being wonderful but its comedian Stephen Colbert who really goes to town as "Benevolent...ish Dictator" Phil Ken Sebben and maniacal nemesis Reducto.It could be seen as Family Guy crossed with Boston Legal- and its better than both.

I was a huge fan of Space Ghost Coast to Coast when it was introduced back in 1994 (it has lost a lot since 2000). It was hilarious to see these 60's characters making references to their past incarnations (which were awful) and how they made fun of them. It was great to see Space Ghost believe he was greater than he actually was. I consider this aspect and the idea of the talk show with live action stars to be not only creative but also one of the most original and funny concepts ever.Now we have Harvey Birdman, based on the same principle as Space Ghost C to C, but expanding on the "let's make fun of all the crappy Hanna Barbera animations of the 60's" concept, which is simply great.The series were introduced in 2001 when Cartoon Network launched Adult Swim, but after a few episodes it disappeared. Thankfully, it wasn't because of low ratings but because they were making more episodes, and each one is even funnier than the one before.The constant reference to old cartoons and characters is just amazingly funny and, contrary to what some people have posted here, I am well under thirty but I have seen all the re- runs from the original shows in CN, so I believe that it has a larger audience than some people give it credit for.All the characters are great, starting with Birdman himself. I just finished watching one where the judge is Mentok. That character is hilarious. He is constantly trying to show how great his mental control powers are. It's crazy.If somebody hasn't seen it yet, please give it a try. Cartoon Network has probably one of the funniest lineups with shows like this and Family Guy, all great and edgy animated sitcoms.
