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

Harvey Birdman attorney at law is a mixture of sophomoric and sophisticated humor that is pure genius. I admit I was skeptical at first but once I watched the show I thought it was hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing. The idea to reincarnate Birdman and other second rate H-B characters is brilliant, its like they grew up and got real jobs. The writing is excellent, and so is the voice work, Stephen Colbert is at the top of his game playing the roll of Phil Ken Sebben and my personal favorite Myron Reducto. Another standout performance is given by John Michael Higgins as Mentok the Mindtaker. A mixture of Sophomoric and sophisticated humor may make a great show but it doesn't necessarily mean great ratings which is sad. It seems that, like its title character, Harvey Birdman attorney at law is destined to relative obscurity. But if like me you're a fan of shows like "The Critc" and "Duckman" you'll love this show.

Living in the comedic wasteland which is otherwise known as present-day Australia, I've only watched a couple of episodes of Harvey but already want to buy the DVD's when they become available. Haven't laughed so hard in long time. Trust SBS to put this on, they really must be commended for giving shows like this airtime. None of the other stations are screening any comedy at the moment, and when they do ie 'Arrested development', they put it on in as late a time slot as possible. Anyway, bring back (or start making) shows like 'Fast forward' and 'the Late show' I say! I want a HB T-shirt, where can I get one?! To think that Lumbergh could be so funny...

I watched this on teletoon and the first episode I saw was the one were race bannon and docter quest fight for custody of the quest kids. I was laughing through the entire episode. The best part was when the janitor plugged the race android back into the wall and it started to dance! simply put the best animated show on TV...family guy and simpsons aren't as good as this.
