Harvey Birdman is a hit-or-miss comedy that is probably one of the most tame offerings on Adult Swim. Playing off of Hanna-Barbera insider jokes such as Shaggy being a pothead or Race Bannon being gay, the show uses absurdity and parody as social commentary. There is nothing particularly offensive (I've watched it with my Grandma without blushing)but my kid's don't particularly enjoy it either. Again, CS's review contains a factual error--the Peter Potamus' radioactive transformation isn't a metaphoric "stress monster" but an attempt at getting past Marvel Comic's legendary tight control of its creations, in this case, the Incredible Hulk! C'mon, CS! Get some reviewers who are familiar with the genre before they take an authoritative stance!

Sure, there's some suggestive content (Peanut sure is unpredictable...). Sure there's some minor language. Sure there's some drugs and violence. But don't let that fool you. This is a hilarious comedy about a guy named Harvey Birdman who is a lawyer defending classic cartoons. Scooby-Doo and Shaggy being accused for using marijuana? Fred Flinstone being accused for being associated with the Mafia? More crazy cases come up later on. Pretty soon this show's gonna end. Don't let that fool you either. This is an awesome show for 12+.

Over the top sexual innuendos.

It's funny and adult. Stephen Colbert is really funny as Phil and Reducto.

this is also one of my favorite shows, but it's more appropriate for teens and adults. i think it's so creative how they combine classic cartoon characters with real-life (i guess you would call it that) issues!
