Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, Vol. 3
L**L
The end...
The third season of Harvey Birdman is pretty funny and culminates in the death of Birdman. However, not before throwing the old bird a bone and letting him perish in a heroic battle worthy of a first class ticket into Valhalla. Side by side with Peanut (Birdboy) and Birdgirl who survive, Class 1 hero Harvey engages Class 5 villain Nitron in a fight to save the city. I enjoyed this DVD set as the humor is well written and the characters are quite distinct with my favorites being X the Eliminator, Potamus, Zardo (X's BFF and secret admirer) and of course Peanut. Is it worth your money? I would say yes but you really need the season 1 and season 2 DVD sets to fully appreciate the ultimate demise of Harvey and the development of all the characters.

Harvey Birdman
This cartoon makes fun of EVERY possible cliche cartoon, movie and tv show to ever exist. It is possibly the most satirical show to ever grace the tv screen and it is not only clever but hilarious, for not all shows are both clever and laugh out loud funny. Most are just chuckle-worthy.And do not be hestiant either because it is a cartoon. If you have ever heard of tv networks like Adult Swin played on the Cartoon Network late at night then you will realize that these are not any cartoons, they are for adults. They really are hilarious and this show alone features actors like Stephen Colbert from the Colbert Report and Dail Show, Lewis Black form COmedy Central standup as well as the Daily Show, Gary Coleman and so on. If you have ever even enjoyed Futurama, Family Guy or the Simpsons, then this show would be a welcomed joy in your life.

Awesome video, fun times!
The third volume of Harvey Birdman is great conclusion to a sadly short-lived series. Okay, it was on the air for seven years, but there were only 39 episodes aired sporatically during that time, so it doesn't seem as long.Standout episodes in the complitation are "Turner Classic Birdman," where the animators have fun inserting their own dialogue into footage from the original series (with knocks of course at the limited animation, continuity errors and other gaffaws prevalent in most of Hanna-Barbara's output from the era) "Sebben & Sebber Employee Orientation" which is a hilarious spoof of kind of soulless orientation crap people used to have to actually sit through, and of course the 30-minute series finale "The Death of Harvey Birdman" were our hero finally faces his destiny, raises to the challenge, and learns an important lesson about the destructive power of buses.A great sendoff to a great series. Fight on, Harvey! Fight on!

PHIL KEN SEBBEN IS MY HERO
Again, as part of the 90's Adult Swim movement, Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, was a staple in the late night diet. You watched Sealab 2021, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Space Ghost. . .and then you watched things like Harvey Birdman.The last season of the show was its greatest triumph. I loved every episode and every joke. It made you laugh, cry and remember that Stephen Colbert has always been the same, crass, sarcastic, politically charged fireball he was even after he did "The Colbert Report."With more of the 90's dying out into obscurity, it is good to look back at Harvey and remember a time when everything was "truly, truly Awesome."

Harvey Birdman goes out with a bang!
If you like Harvey (like my sons do) then you need to get the third season. It was easily the best to date!Especially enjoyable for those who have purchased the original Birdman cartoons is the first episode. This installment lampoons the original series resulting in the best Harvey Birdman episode by far. It "explains" why Harvey gave up being a superhero for a law career.There is another hilarious Birdgirl episode. The "tasteful" but lowbrow comedy that my teenagers can't seem to get enough of.The Deadly Duplicator makes his appearance in a avalanche of running gags. The side references to Blade Runner and other old movies and shows had to be explained - but didn't detract.Overall there isn't a single episode that fails to entertain.

Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law Vol. 3 was a smash hit!! The only thing that made me sad about this DVD set was knowing that there are no follow on DVD sets to go with it. The witty humor mixed with adult context made me laugh over and over again. I am so glad I bought the complete set. I tend to only buy DVD's that I can watch over and over and never get tired of watching them and Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law series is one of them! The Williams Street Productions, LLC did an OUTSTANDING job putting this together and I can only hope they find in themselves to sometime in the future maybe hammer on our funny bone with more Harvey Birdman! PLEASE!

and the visuals are great. Animation seems a bit clearer than the last ...
Hilarious!!! My abs ache form laughing so much!! The jokes and visuals are so quick his season, that I can hardly keep up with them! The writing is dirtier than the last two seasons, and the visuals are great. Animation seems a bit clearer than the last two seasons. The special features include all of Phil's "Ha, Ha, Ha's" Hippo's "that thing I sent ya" and much more!! Quite risque, this season is great!! Might not want to watch it with the little one's though, as many of the scenes are bordering on R rated themes....

Completes collection
For a long time I had all the Harvey Birdman episodes downloaded and it just wasn't the same. The sound was off and I hated the definition. Now that I finally have all 3 volumes I can relive these classic comedy antics.

What a ridiculous show. I love it
I've finally completed the series. The set is great and has a high quality feel. The extras include deleted scenes and commentary. I enjoyed this show back when it aired on tv. So owning the set was a great collectors item for me
P**S
I'll take the case!
70's kids....give your money to Amazon now and buy season 3. Take all your favorite 70's Hanna Barbara Cartoon characters and see them resurrected them into this Hilarious adult cartoon Series.
