Synopsis

Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law features ex-superhero Harvey T. Birdman of Birdman and the Galaxy Trio as an attorney working for a law firm alongside other cartoon stars from 1960s and 1970s Hanna-Barbera cartoon series. Similarly, Harvey's clients are also primarily composed of characters taken from Hanna-Barbera cartoon series of the same era. Many of Birdman's nemeses featured in his former… cartoon series also became attorneys, often representing the opposing side of a given case.

After the first episode of the second season, both studios were replaced by Turner Studios, who animated episodes using Adobe After Effects.

In 2009, Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law was named the 91st-best animated series by IGN.

Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law creators Michael Ouweleen and Erik Richter had no credited involvement with Space Ghost Coast to Coast, which featured a separate character with the same "Harvey Birdman" name who was established by Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer.

The "Attorney at Law" part of the series title comes from a separate Space Ghost Coast to Coast character, Dr Nightmare, from the episode "Lawsuit"; which was also written by Dorkin and Dyer.

Sedelmaier Productions produced the pilot and was subsequently credited in every episode despite their lack of involvement otherwise.

Production of the first season was handled by Allied Art & Science, with Cartoon Network Studios joining in after the second episode.
