Wow! Such a good movie.

Am I Missing Something?

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Well, I just got into watching this show a few months ago after watching the episode with Top Cat being sued for bookmaking/illegal gambling. I was hooked after that. I'm watching the series on On Demand from Comcast, and the next episode for me to see is the final one. I know what happens, though (spoiler) - Harvey gets through all his cases again, and then gets run over by Phil Ken Sebben and dies. (spoiler ends here) After seeing the beginning of the Flinstones episode, I immediately began watching the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons again. I saw some Flinstones, a few Jetsons, some Quick Draw McGraw, some Magilla Gorilla, some Scooby-Doo and, my personal favorite, Tom and Jerry, who unexpectedly don't appear in the series. It would make perfect sense to have Jerry sue Tom for assault.Anyway, there's some characters in there I have yet to see in the cartoons, like Ricohet Rabbit, Grape Ape, and Jabberjaw, to name a few.If I had to choose between my favorite episode, it would have to be the one with Atom Ant. He gets sued for having high levels of radiation in his home. The verdict wasn't shown, though.So yeah, if you happen to see this On Demand or anywhere else, I say watch it. It's a funny series, I'd recommend it to all the Hanna-Barbera fans.

"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 " .

Harvey Birdman has long since had his day as a superhero but has now taken up a job as a lawyer at the firm of Sebben and Sebben. The move offers him a welcome change of pace but he still finds himself surrounded by all the same strange characters and goings-on.I have seen this series advertised when in the US in the past but never bothered to stay up and watch it, however on my last visit I gave it a try. The show is hard to describe because it is just very weird. The characters and basic plots spoof the world of the square-jawed superheroes and supervillians by placing them in the office environment and making their characters even more exaggerated. Birdman himself is the most obvious example as he is now a bit of a fool despite his massive chest, although I also really enjoy the eye-patch sporting, womanising boss Sebben. It is all a bit too silly at times and some of it just occasionally feel like it is being weird just for the sake of it but, for me, the majority of the superhero spoof aspect carried it well enough.The animation is true to the superhero genre and everything looks good with plenty of imaginative touches all round. The voice work is enjoyably silly with Gary Cole doing a great job in the lead role. Colbert is just as good as Phil, really getting into the feel of the character and the series. The support cast are generally good with some unusual guest voices in there.Overall this is an acquired taste and naturally some will love it while other hate it. For me it was enjoyable enough to take in small doses – too much at once would just get tiresome but in 15 minute bites it is weirdly funny and entertaining. Not for everyone but certainly worth a look if you get the chance.

Many of my all time favourite TV shows haven't been the ones hyped to death, but the obscure ones that you "discover" for yourself. 'Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law' is a case in point. I don't know if it achieved any kind of audience in the US, but it suddenly appeared out of nowhere here in Australia and was shown at an odd time slot with little fanfare. A friend caught the Scooby Doo episode and when he described it to me, I knew this was a show I just HAD to see! So I managed to catch the "Unabooboo" episode, then the one where Jabbajaw and The Neptunes are accused of plagiarism, and last night I watched the Flintstones/Sopranos episode, which was pure genius! I am now hooked for life! For anybody who hasn't seen the show it features Birdman the 60s Hanna Barbera cartoon character reinvented as Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. Each episode he defends a cartoon client accused of some crime e.g. Shaggy and Scooby Doo for dope, Fred Flintstone for racketeering. Plus there are lots of strange gay in-jokes and surreal bits and pieces which make it one of the most demented things I've seen since vintage 'Ren and Stimpy'. My favourite characters are Reducto and Birdman's nutty eye-patch wearing boss. This is an utterly brilliant show and I can't wait to see more episodes!
