Birdgirl

The delivery of these jokes is *often* too fast for most people which is why I wouldn't call this show 'laugh out loud' funny. There is very little time to actually laugh because it's always on to the next line of clever dialogue. And this show is clever. The characters are zany and extreme and the writers do a great job of depicting these qualities while moving a often pointless plot along. Think pointless like Sealab 2021 but more clever and more topical. Ridiculous that it is rated so low. For what it is it's an 8/10.

What's clear fairly early on in the pilot is that Birdgirl and Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (one of my all time favorite shows, period) are pretty different. The animation style, the dialogue between characters, and the general tone of the show are unique, and that takes some getting used to if you're expecting the nonstop witticism that Harvey Birdman brought.

What I really like about the show is the thing it has that Harvey Birdman didn't: heart. Our lead character, as well as her best friend/possible love interest Meredith the Mindtaker, have some pretty serious conversations, and the internal battle of Judy vs Birdgirl in the mind of the titular character is treated with respect, while still being sure to have plenty of gags.

I look forward to seeing the show separate itself further from Harvey Birdman, while also still having the silliness that gave me so many laughs.

Never seen other shows link to this, but I seen people writ about them. But I can only judge what I have seen and boy it's bad compared to shows like Venture Brothers that Adult Swim also made. Really hope this does not stick around and they instead give us some good shows to watch or use the money on more seasons of some of the good shows instead. As of now this seems like a waste of money and I would say talent but that would clearly be a lie, as it does not seem to be any in the show or behind it either.

The show is funny and fast. The characters are good enough for an adult animation show. I would watch the whole season.

Days ago, I just watched the new Adult Swim animated series, Birdgirl, a spin-off of one of the most brilliant Adult Swim cartoons, Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law and I see little charm in it. Let me tell you, we all know that Judy Ken Sebben's father (and mostly one of funniest characters on Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law) Phil Ken Sebben is gone for good and Judy refuses to believe it while other characters like the dog character and some Phil Ken Sebben imposter nominated Birdgirl as Phil's successor. Now I want to make this clear, the humor is more of a huge mixbag, sometimes it's kinda unfunny and sometimes it's actually a little clever. Some characters like Meredith the Mind Taker and the Dog with Bucket Hat (I'm sorry, but seriously what kind of a name is that?) are at least interesting but Meredith is the most interesting one, and the writing...it's not that great, sometimes the writing makes the show kinda boring just like I have the same issue with Mike Tyson Mysteries. Even though I didn't like Mike Tyson Mysteries but at least I find the show a little more better. So there, the writing in Birdgirl is kinda bland and boring, but at least the animation and the art style are decent enough for me to tolerate. Oh and did I metion that this show has lack of any Hanna-Barbera characters? Yes, yes I did mainly because of licensing issures and I'm honestly fine with it because of I don't mind but I do feel sorry for the Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law fans who do missed the Hanna-Barbera characters. Birdgirl isn't that great nor good, it's a mixbag cartoon with some high potential. Other cartoons spin-offs like Daria and The Casagrandes are much better and so is Heavy Birdman: Attorney At Law. Birdgirl is a very weak show in my book and if you like the show, that's great but to keep in mind, I don't find the show bad...it's meh. I'll stick to Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law and other Adult Swim shows such as Rick and Morty, Final Space, Primal and Lazor Wulf and I'll might as well continue watching Birdgirl if I want to. I give Birdgirl a 5.3/10.
