"Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law" is a cartoon from the Adult Swim lineup that has former superhero Birdman now working as a lawyer, defending other cartoon characters from yesteryear in court. This DVD set features 13 episodes from the show. (Note: This is Vol. 1, not Season 1). The episodes included are 1. Bannon Custody Battle, 2. Very Personal Injury, 3. Shaggy Busted, 4. Death by Chocolate, 5. Shoyu Weenie, 6. The Dabba Don, 7. Deadomutt, 8. Deadomutt Part 2, 9. X, The Eliminator, 10. SPF, 11. The Devlin Made Me Do It, 12. Trio's Company, 13. High Speed Buggy Chase. The better episodes come earliest in the DVD set, with Dabba Don (Harvey defends mob boss Fred Flintstone), Shaggy Busted (Harvey defends Scooby Doo and Shaggy on marijuana charges), and Bannon Custody Battle (Race Bannon sues Dr. Quest for custody of Jonny and Hadji) marking some of the shows' top offerings. The special features include some deleted scenes and casting what-ifs, with different voice actors playing different characters. But if you buy this set, it will be because of the show itself, and if you are going to own one volume of "Harvey Birdman", then it should definitely be this one. Get ready to see your beloved childhood cartoon characters in ways you never thought possible.Read full review
Where do old Hanna Barbera cartoon characters go after cancellation? Well if they end up on the wrong side of the law then it's probably to the office of Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law.Harvey was an old cartoon character from the 60's before he entered the law field.This show is funny,irrelevant and and well written.All of your favorites end up in Harvey's courtroom at some point.This season features a custody battle between Race Bannon and Benton Quest,Apache Chief vs. Javalux (over hot coffee spilt in his lap),Shaggy and Scooby get busted for possession,the United States vs. Speed Buggy and nine other episodes sure to keep you laughing hysterically.Among my personal favorites is People vs. Flinstone that puts Fred in a don position a la the Sopranos. The regular cast is not without their own charms either.Harvey,Peanut,Avenger,Potamus ("Did you get that thing I sent you?") and Mentok the mind taker will all keep you wondering what will happen next in this crazy mixed up sitcom.Read full review
Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law characters are based on Birdman and the Galaxy Trio and other Hanna-Barbera properties. The show is very creative and I recommend it!

This series makes me laugh endlessly. I work with attorneys everyday and if only it were like this! Super hilarious, irreverently funny, and always poking fun at the old toons of the 70s. My hat goes off to the writers and producers of this and other Adult Swim offerings for their capability to make adult cartoons without resorting to simple nudity as its only reason for an "adult" rating.
i have seen about 3 of the harvey birdman episodes on adult swim, and they were hilarious. ones like Shoyou Weenies and the one when Harvey hires Peanut the clerk, but i found that the writers quickly ran out of creative ideas and gave the plot lines over to extreme sexual pretense. not only is it inapropriate, it not even funny. oh well, win some lose some. the sender was very cooperative and i received my dvd's unscathed and un scratched. very well done, thank you.
