This clever animated comedy revolves around the law firm of Sebben & Sebben and primarily the activities of Harvey T. Birdman, described as a third-rate lawyer who takes the cases nobody else wants. Birdman, an ex-superhero from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon "Birdman and the Galaxy Trio," works alongside other Hanna-Barbera cartoon stars from the 1960s and '70s, and many of his enemies from "Galaxy Trio" also became attorneys and are often seen representing the opposing side of a particular case. The series' 39-episode run ended in 2007.

Adult Swim struck gold with its series "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law." Go to Full Review Bob Chipman Escapist Magazine 01/24/2019
For most of the first season, the show was chaotically structured like a hellzappopin' sketch series, but swerved into a semblance of continuity and character-building for a two-part season finale that would define the remainder of the series. Go to Full Review Michael Drucker IGN Movies 01/24/2019
8/10
Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law remains the most solid (if rarely produced) Adult Swim show out there. Of course, if you're not a big fan of the other Adult Swim stuff, you still might not be a huge supporter of this either. Go to Full Review Grant Dearmitt Screen Rant 01/24/2019
Not only are the plots ludicrous, the jokes hilarious, and the characters endearing; this show features some incredible voice talent. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jay B @Jayson145 09/19/2020 Solid first season with some classic episodes. Since they are ten minutes long they are extremely re watchable. The comedy works best in this season and feels very fresh as the later seasons continue to pile onto the jokes built in the first two and while I enjoy most of the first seasons comedy this is its peak so if you don't find the season humorous then you should probably stop watching the show. My personal favorites are the Scooby Doo, Jonny Quest, and Flintstones episodes but I also enjoyed the likes of the Super Friends and Yogi Bear. The show is witty with a unique style to it that is extremely distinct. Add to it a catchy theme song and a cast of colorful characters from the original Birdman show including MENTOK THE MIND TAKER and you have a strangely classic yet odd season of televison.
