Customer Reviews

More animated hysterics
Adult Swim's Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law may have gone the way of the dodo, but the episodes collected in this third DVD volume feature more animated hysterics from the superhero turned lawyer. In this collection, Harvey (voiced by Gary Cole) has to deal with the death of Phil Ken Sebben (voiced by Stephen Colbert) as well as endure his high school reunion. Birdgirl (voiced by Paget Brewster) also returns, and there's even more insane and hilarious moments to come that make no sense whatsoever. If there's any drawbacks to these episodes, it's that once Colbert departed the show, he was sorely missed to say the least. His vocal talents as Phil Ken Sebben and Reducto was one of the best elements of the show, and while it was incredibly funny how his characters met their demise, his presence was still missed. That aside though, there's still great work from Cole, Thomas Allen as Peanut, the great John Michael Higgins as Mentok, and Chris Edgerly as Potamus. Not to mention that the "Sebben & Sebben Employee Orientation" episode, which spoofs orientation videos for new employees, is worth the price of admission alone. All in all, this is yet another Adult Swim DVD that is an essential pick up.

Going Out With A Bang
This third and final box set of [adult swim]'s Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law contains some of the most in-joke filled episodes of the run as all of Harvey's previous cases in one form or another come back to say good-bye.

The episodes included:
Turner Classic Birdman
Free Magilla
Return of Birdgirl
Mindless
Identity Theft
Sebben and Sebben Employee Orientation
Mufti Trouble
Incredible Hippo
Babysitter
Birdnapped
Grodin
Juror In Court
The Death of Harvey

Most likely due to scheduling conflicts, Stephen Colbert takes a leave for three episodes and Phil Ken Sebban's absence is dealt with the typical Birdman humor we've come to love.

Gems in this last run would be Turner Classic Birdman, Sebben & Sebben Employee Orientation, Incredible Hippo, and Juror in Court. Extras are not fantastic, but still cool. The Joke Timeline is great, showcasing in order every 'HA HA HA!', 'Bear', 'Back Off!', or 'Mightor Cough.' Lost points, though, for no commentaries or interviews.

If you already have volumes 1 and 2, this is a no brainer.

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.
