Harvey Birdman- Turner Classic Birdman- Was this an actual episode of the 60's show?
Was this episode made up of actual re-dubbed Birdman and the Galaxy Trio 60's episode(s) and if so which one(s)? It looked to me like it could have been, that would be pretty cool.

Some footage is actual HB, MOST is new animation. And it is a great show.

Some info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_...ttorney_at_Law
Seems to be cut from Birdman and the Galaxy Trio, yes.
Birdman is hot.

Under orders from Falcon Seven, Birdman spends the day foiling the plots of numerous supervillians, including Reducto, Vulturo, Mentok, and X the Eliminator. At the end of the day, exhausted, Birdman resolves to quit being a superhero and take up a normal job (which involves Phil Ken Sebben constantly ordering him around).
The short was introduced by Robert Osborne of Turner Classic Movies, who was obviously in on the joke."
It doesn't actually saw if they used actual 1967 footage though. I think they did.

adult swim, like always. sometime late last year. a regular Harvey Birdman episode pretending to be a special, like the Simpsons one that was like America's Most Wanted. I only saw it once and the most info I can find about it is what I quoted from wiki above.

Sorry for the 14 year old bump, but new special coming soon. Politics based episode:

I like the hats.

The new half-hour animated special will feature the original voice cast with Gary Cole voicing the titular hero and Stephen Colbert voicing megalomaniac billionaire President Phil Ken Sebben. The new special features Birdman as the country’s next Attorney General — as announced by President Kebben. In his new role, it’s up to Birdman to find a way to remove the President from office before everyone starts to worry it’s more than the ridiculous plot to an animated show.
In addition to Cole and Colbert, the voice cast includes John Michael Higgins as Mentok the Mindtaker, Paget Brewster as for Birdgirl, Chris Edgerly asPeter Potamus, Peter MacNicol as X the Eliminator, and Phil LaMarr as Black Vulcan.

I can't believe in 16 years I never posted in this thread, this was one of my wife and mine's favorite [as] shows ever.
One of my nicknames for her has been booty-licious for years, and she always thought it was just from the judge calling Harvey that, she didn't realize till a few months ago it was a Beyonce song.
Good to see this return, current events are in need of more satire.

The world of Harvey Birdman is expanding.
Adult Swim has given a series order to “Birdgirl,” a spinoff of “Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law” with Paget Brewster set to lend her voice to the title character. Brewster previously voiced Birdgirl in the original series as well as the recent special “Harvey Birdman, Attorney General,” which aired on Adult Swim in October.
In the new series, after being named CEO of the world’s largest and most non-sensical corporation, Sebben & Sebben, Judy Ken Sebben (aka Birdgirl) has to find a way to maintain her work/superhero life balance. Through the halls of the company headquarters she assembles her Birdteam. By day, they try to drag the company into this century. By mid-afternoon, they usually end up having to break a lot of things to stop something bad that one of them may have helped cause.
The half-hour series was created and will be executive produced by ME Productions. Adult Swim’s Susan Shipsk will produce with Rich Ferguson-Hull directing. The series will be animated by Awesome, Inc.
“Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law” officially launched in 2001 and was one of the first originals to air on Adult Swim along with shows like “The Brak Show,” “Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” “Home Movies,” and “Sealab 2021.” The series aired for four seasons and 39 episodes plus the aforementioned special.

Excellent news! I loved how Birdgirl was simultaneously a goofy fangirl wanting to be a superhero and also one of the few sane people on the show.
