"Feel the power of attorney!" screams Harvey Birdman, cartoon lawyer, and you will, my friend, you will. This entry in Cartoon Network's late-night Adult Swim programming block ransacks the cartoon world for legal cases, and the butts in the witness chair belong to a rogue's gallery of sketchy characters--Shaggy and Scooby-Doo, Yogi Bear, Fred Flintstone, and even Harvey himself. Each of these 13 episodes of the universe's first animated legal show is a loving and outrageous homage to the ‘toons that warped our tiny minds as children, and now have the power (of attorney!) to warp our minds as adults, with their hilarious pop-culture plundering and stream-of-consciousness critique of whatever's dug up. DVD extras include commentaries on selected episodes, deleted scenes, and a slew of silly stuff such as the Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law movie trailer and "casting what-ifs." Recommended. (M. Johanson)
