    I love Harvey Birdman. It’s so insane. In the first episode of the series Race Bannon ends his longtime association with Dr. Benton Quest and sues for custody of Jonny and Hadji. Harvey, as always, takes the case.

    I get asked a lot about whether being a practicing attorney is like being a lawyer on TV. I love watching legal movies and courtroom dramas. It's one of the reasons I decided to become a lawyer. But sometimes they make me want to pull my hair out because they are ridiculous.
    Today I'm taking a break from representing clients and teaching law students how to kick ass in law school to take on lawyers in the movies and on TV. While all legal movies and shows take dramatic license to make things more interesting (nobody wants to see hundreds of hours of brief writing), many of them have a grain of truth.
    This is part of a continuing series of "Lawyer Reaction" videos. Got a legal movie or TV show you'd like me to critique? Let me know in the comments!

    Objection! As hilarious and well-timed as the judge's exclamatory "Bootylicious!" is, that is clearly flirtation and/or sexual harassment directed at Harvey Birdman in a court full of witnesses. If the court stenographer was more competent, someone could make a motion of clear bias toward one lawyer based on his bootylicious booty and say that the judge is impartial. Thus, making a retrial inevitable, giving time for the supervillains to construct a more discreet robot to take custody of the kids.

      Then we need to get a judge that can remember the damn names of the lawyers arguing the case. Imagine getting the court notes, and seeing several different lawyers were addressed that weren't at the top of the notes. It would be very disorienting figuring out who said what, who was possible flirted with/sexually harassed and which arguments are actually pertinent to the case. I mean, I know that everyone in this show is a bird brain, but I would never want to be the court stenographer for the case.

      Does "Kid's show" refer to the target audience or the style of presentation?

One could make the argument that "Harvey Bird-man: Attorney at Law" is presented "in the style of a Kid's Show" and Legal Eagle was using "Kid's Show" as a short-hand for this stylized presentation.

      Birds aren't people, they don't have the same constitutional legal rights that would require professional representation- in most cases. Unlike corporations, they don't have the same rights that are afforded to a human person or bird-man/bird-person, or other form of citizen in a human being society... for obvious reasons.

Arguments have been made for whether or not that’s a good system, but that’s how the framers of the Constitution said it should work.

      LOL. And the worst thing is that I watched the original "Jonny Quest" as a kid, which I guess makes me _really_ old. But it does make "Harvey Birdman" all the funnier for us dinosaurs, since it largely makes fun of HB characters from our youth and draws on the details of those old shows. I would assume Legal Eagle didn't recognize many (any?) of those JQ villain witnesses, or the judge himself for that matter, unless maybe he watched a lot of Boomerang as a kid. Didn't sound like it, though.

    About time I saw this. I haven't seen every episode of Harvey Birdman but fortunately it's not hard to find on Hulu. This show is hilarious and it's cool to find out that a comedy cartoon actually has so much legal accuracy
