This is a list of episodes of the animated television series Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law. The list is in showing order, that is, the order of their first television appearance.
Also, before the episode Free Magilla, the creators of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law pieced together the 1960s cartoon series and made a brief 10 minute parody of the show called Busy Day for Birdman.

Summary |
Bannon v. Quest |
|||
Race Bannon tells Dr. Benton Quest that Race is like a father to the children and wants custody of them. Harvey has to prove Benton Quest is the better father — a difficult task as Benton can't even remember his sons' names.
At court, Vulturo represents Race, although his speech impediment confuses the jury. He claims that genetics shouldn't determine fatherhood, and calls a parade of witnesses — villains from the original Jonny Quest series — all of whom say that Bannon is the better father. Dr. Quest, the boys, and Harvey gather that night at Harvey's hangout, a bar called The Birdcage. The next day, Harvey questions Dr. Quest about the boys; instead he goes on about his experiments. Vulturo asks what he does in this spare time with the boys. The stenographer is revealed to be Dr. Zin who was behind the whole thing, Dr. Zin is taken away and Harvey wins the case. Race is summoned by videophone; he is on vacation, and had been playing volleyball with many men. Quest is curious as to how Zin was capable of making such a good body duplicate; Race quickly signs off. |

Summary |
Chief v. Javalux |
|||
Apache Chief, the Native American former Superfriend who has the power to grow to large sizes, saves the city from a large meteor. Afterwards, he heads into Javalux for a cup of coffee; as he searches for some cash, he accidentally spills the hot coffee on his lap.
He goes to see Harvey, shrinking in fear when Harvey offers him a hot drink. Apache Chief explains to Harvey what happened, and how he has now lost his ability to enlarge. They go to court to sue the Javalux company, the other attorney being the paranoid Reducto. Harvey brings to the witness stand some more obscure super heroes. First he speaks with Black Vulcan, later on with Zan of the Wonder Twins. At the Birdcage, Reducto suggest settling, but Birdman says it's not about the money, and how Apache Chief just wants to be recognized. He says that if Apache Chief felt appreciated, the case would likely go away. This causes Reducto to adopt his "scheming face" and begin scheming. Back at court, Reducto calls the manager of the Javalux shop, a woman named Sybil Shussler. Under questioning, she says that what's happened to Apache Chief was wrong. She speaks out about Apache Chief's heroism and benefit to society, while becoming increasingly Indian-looking in dress every time the camera comes back to her. Suddenly, Apache Chief grows to fill the courtroom. Mightor dismisses the case. In the end, Apache Chief and a group of other minor heroes (as well as Jesse Jackson) have decided to form the "Multi-Culture Pals." Apache Chief has also gained the love of Sybil Shussler, who kisses him, causing him to grow a foot, blushing. Everyone laughs. This episode marks the first appearance of the Bear; also, Apache Chief, Black Vulcan, and Reducto. |

Summary |
People v. Rogers and Doo |
|||
The Mystery Machine, playing music reminiscent of the early Doobie Brothers, is pulled over for erratic driving. The driver, Shaggy Rogers, claims that they heard there was a monster around the old abandoned cotton mill and he was going to meet up with the rest of the gang, to try and catch it. The officer thinks it quite obvious he and Scooby are under the influence, but when he asks them to step out, they speed off.
Back at Sebben & Sebben, Harvey is having trouble keeping track of his files, and starts interviewing for a clerk. He is impressed by a young man named Peanut who dresses much like himself, and he decides to hire him. Fred Jones comes in to hire Harvey, who mistakes him for a gang member, his ascot being his colors. Fred brings Harvey to the jail to see Scooby and Shaggy, but they still act as though they're high. The rest of the gang tries to assure him that they're not high, just stupid. The case goes to court, and Spyro acts out the traffic stop theater style as Peanut hits on Daphne. The arresting officer claims to have found drug paraphernalia, but Harvey manages to show this as circumstantial. Velma goes on the stand, and tells Harvey that they're just always hungry and they laugh when nervous. On the second day of the trial, Fred and Velma burst into the court with the monster in custody. They unmask him to be Old Man Bakov, and he tells of his nefarious plans. |

Summary |
People of the United States of America v. Bear |
|||
In Jellystone Park, Yogi and Boo Boo are awakened by ATF agents who (accidentally) fire a tear gas canister into the bears' cave.
Phil Ken Sebben (in his first appearance) orders Harvey to defend Boo Boo, who is accused of being a terrorist known as the Unabooboo (a takeoff of the Unabomber). At the Birdcage, Reducto tells Harvey that there is no government, that everything is owned by a handful of corporations and soon there would be one world currency. Harvey laughs this off, and then pays his bar tab in euros. The next day, Boo Boo is found not guilty. He and Harvey embrace, and then spend the night together in his cave. While Boo Boo is out horseback riding, Harvey discovers an electric typewriter in the cave, hooked up to a generator. Testing the typewriter, Harvey sees that the T is properly aligned; he adjusts the carriage to make it misaligned. Panicking, Harvey runs home; Boo Boo breaks in and says that he wants to thank him for his work with a cookie bouquet. Fearing for his life, Harvey kills him with an energy blast. Phil comes in to comfort Harvey, then Yogi comes in and swears revenge... and then all of them, including Boo Boo, laugh together. Notes:

Summary |
Shoyu Weenie v. Jabberjaw and the Neptunes |
|||
Shoyu Weenie, an overworked Japanese rock band, learns that their number one hit has been plagiarized by an American band called The Neptunes. They hire Harvey; Peanut translates for them, as he speaks Japanese.
Reducto finds himself falling for a testifying musicologist named Gale Melody, mainly because of her "tiny, tiny feet." Harvey and Mentok are also attracted to her, which causes some disruption in the courtroom. Peanut settles the case by showing a karaoke film of both songs; Mentok declares that they're the same song and finds for the plaintiffs. Just as Harvey and friends are celebrating their victory, however, they find out that the song has been stolen again, this time by a German band. Notes:

Summary |
People v. Flintstone |
|||
In an episode chock-full of Mafia film references, Fred Flintstone is a Mafia Don, and the clueless Harvey defends him. Judge Mightor, formerly on the Mafia payroll, suffers two attempts on his life and disappears. Judge Mentok finishes the case.
Harvey, using clips from the original Flintstones show, successfully argues that Fred is delusional, having been hit on the head with a bowling ball so many times that he frequently adopts other personas. It turns out that he is right, as Barney Rubble is the real mob boss. Notes:

Summary | N/A | |||
Crushing Harvey's hopes for promotion, Phil Ken Sebben hires outside attorney Azul Falcone as the firm's new partner. Azul, along with his assistant Dynomutt, proves very popular at the firm, and Harvey's prestige correspondingly plummets. He learns that Azul is an incompetent lawyer, and that Dynomutt does all his work. He gets his résumé and heads to the office copier, intending to work at a new firm. Phil looks for Harvey, only to find him covered in ink and crying beside the opened copy machine, Dynomutt's remains strewn about its inner workings. He is taken into custody. | Plaintiff | N/A | ||

Summary |
People v. Birdman |
|||
Harvey is on trial for murdering Azul Falcone's assistant, Dynomutt. Falcone represents him, because no one else will take the case.
Despite Falcone's bad representation, the jury finds Birdman innocent. Mentok overrides the jury and convicts Birdman, sentencing him to death. Harvey is in jail for three and a half years, forgetting he can fly, forgetting and re-learning how to read, keeping a pet moth, and marrying Magilla Gorilla. At the end of that time, just before his execution, the gang surprises him with a birthday party. Dynomutt is still alive; the whole thing was a practical joke dreamed up by Falcone. |

As a young man, X (nicknamed the Eliminator) was commissioned by the evil organization F.E.A.R. to obtain the Crest on Birdman's helmet. After 26 years, he's acquired a paunch and an obsession for Birdman, but no Crest. A commercial featuring Harvey inspires him to renew his quest.
Meanwhile, Harvey is defending Phil, who's hit someone on his way to work "every day this week" and is being sued. Harvey's distracted by X's attacks and the fact that every time he tries to go to the bathroom something happens to prevent him from finishing. Even resorting to walking on the ledge of the outside of the building to avoid X, who was waiting outside his office. Even trying to hire someone to kill him, waiting on hold during lunch and pressing "2" on his phone to order "Vehicular manslaughter". In the end, with Avenger's help, Harvey defeats X, wins his case, and finishes his business in the bathroom. Notes:

Summary |
People v. Squirrel |
|||
Secret Squirrel is on the job, and needs to get a special spy gadget out. He keeps it where he keeps everything he needs, inside his trenchcoat. As he whips the coat open, the woman he was trying to help screams and collapses. Secret looks at her oddly, saying "Wait, I didn't even pull it out yet!"
Back at the office, Phil enters his office to find it has been burgled, plundered, and purloined – "Ha-ha... loins." He's missing a number of things only he can see, such as a baby grand piano and a fourteen foot golden Buddha. When they are not returned even after he covers his eyepatch, he sets up a color coded threat system and installs security cameras. Birdman tries to talk to the paranoid Phil, but he accuses him of supporting the thief, and of not working hard. He tells Harvey he must get a big case by the end of the day, and Harvey tries, with limited success. Phil calls everyone in and bumps up the terror level to... BLACKWATCH PLAID!!! Harvey speaks with Secret, who explains his case to him. Phil finds a video of Bear moving about at high speeds and calls everyone in, believing he knows who the culprit is, and shows everyone a sketch of Bear crossed with Osama bin Laden. He raises the threat level to the maximum: the cover of Rush's seminal album Moving Pictures. In court, Harvey explains to everyone how Secret hides his spy equipment in his trenchcoat, although he has to endure Mentok saying "I'll say" to anything that could be considered a double entendre. Phil, however, has surveillance video that proves Secret actually was flashing the woman, and is guilty. At the end, the gang tries to figure out how to get their privacy back. Peanut's video of Phil playing Little Bo Peep with a woman apparently fixes things. Notes:

Inch High v. Firm |
|||
Inch High P.I. is fired because all of his photos are poor quality due to their perspective being from an inch off the ground. He goes to Harvey for representation, but something's come up, and he's ignored for much of the episode.
Harvey has joined a new spa, and a voluptuous red-head named Gigi works there, making out with every other guy in the place. He asks her out, and she suddenly moves into his apartment, along with her friends Vince and Terry. Harvey's relationship with Gigi continues, but they never as much as kiss, while she's found in compromising positions with every other male in the office. Inch High's case finally makes it to court. There, Mentok uses Reducto's shrink-ray to bring Inch High up to normal height. After having a carnie tell him (several times) that he's tall enough for a ride, Inch High proceeds to show a tape of Gigi writing in her diary that she loves Harvey. The two embrace, and Mentok declares that he has no idea what just happened, and randomly gives the verdict of not guilty. The episode ends with a wedding between Gigi, Harvey, Phil, Vince, Terry, Peanut, and the Bear. |

Summary |
Bobby v. Devlin |
|||
A kid tries to imitate Ernie Devlin's deep ravine jump, and seriously injures himself. The family sues Devlin, and Harvey is called to defend him. Things don't look good after Birdman almost kills the kid trying to prove he can move. Freezoid's case doesn't help much either.
After a discussion with Devlin, Harvey reveals that Devlin has pumped himself so full of pain killers from all his injuries that he had little to no common sense. He gives a plea of insanity, but Der Spuzmacher, a Tapir assassin that Devlin warned about earlier and Harvey disregarded as insane rambling, comes in and reveals that insanity pleas can only be used in a criminal case. Birdman loses, but Devlin and Bobby come to an agreement. Bobby can ride Devlin's bike whenever he wants... and his woman. A side story that was removed left a few fragments. Avenger apparently lays an egg, and after a brief discussion between Harvey and Peanut about the whereabouts of the eagles genitals, the two are interrupted by Devlin's entrance. Later in court, Harvey is seen nursing an Egg with an eagle hand puppet, and finally at the very end of the episode, it turns out the egg was the hidden lunch of Peter Potamus, who tried to take the egg back and is brutally attacked by Avenger. In an odd turn of events, the egg hatches to reveal a half bird half Jesse Jackson. Notes:

People v. Buggy |
|||
A television changes from one channel to another, all of them showing a breaking news story. It's a high speed chase, involving Speed Buggy, a living car. The chase ends as Speed Buggy attempts to climb the median "on foot."
Back at the office, Avenger resigns. He goes off to find another job and joins up with Vulturo, whose avian colleague was recently stuffed. Meanwhile, Harvey goes through a series of assistants, including a European goldfinch, an emperor penguin and an emu. Finally, he settles on a parrot. The Speed Buggy case comes up, and it's Birdman vs. Vulturo. The parrot, however, ends up working for Vulturo. Avenger returns to Birdman's side, opening a door and revealing that Mark and Debbie, Speed Buggy's friends who have been making out through most of the episode, have been sitting on Speed Buggy's remote control. Debbie's automotive double entendres have been causing Speed Buggy's erratic behavior. He is found not guilty. |

Ding-a-Ling v. Twiddles |
|||
After years of getting his powers from the sun, Harvey notices a mole that resembles Frida Kahlo on his face, and Peanut suggests he has it looked at. He goes to a doctor, who suggests he wear SPF-710 sunblock and keep in the shade. This is a problem since Harvey gets his energy from sunlight. He manages to get by without the sun by using "Tanning Crème" (a foreign branding joke) he gets from Peanut. The energy rush causes Harvey to quickly become addicted to the stuff, needing it just to stay awake, and that's when Peanut starts charging exorbitant prices for it.
Harvey goes to trial, representing Ding-a-Ling Wolf; Ding-a-Ling wanted to make a web site for all his fans, but Harry Twiddles had already set up a porn site at the URL www.dingaling.biz. Harvey brings before the court a number of others whose names had been hijacked for porn sites, including: Hi-riser, Big Duke & Bigger Duke, Kwicky Koala, Schnooker, The Magic Rabbit, Fluid Man, Dirty Dawg, Mother Load, and Galtar... and his Golden Lance. An intervention is staged for Harvey by all the others (who are indulging in addictive activities themselves, including smoking, gambling, and drinking). Harvey goes into counseling, and is soon back to normal. Afterwards, the mole is found by Peanut to just be gravy. The episode ends with a PSA by the cast of the show on skin cancer and coconuts stuck in hippo mouths. Notes:

Jetson Family v. Earth |
|||
In the far off year of 2002, the Jetsons live in their luxurious, futuristic house high above the Earth's surface. Their lives are suddenly turned upside down when the water level begins rising at an alarming rate. Global warming caused the ice caps to melt, and the Earth to become nothing but water. Suddenly, mutants begin breaking into the house, which is unable to get high enough to be out of the water's reach.
Fortunately, they manage to make it to the distant past (2004), specifically to Harvey's office. Much to their dismay, they realize they have to walk to Harvey's desk from the entrance as there are no moving conveyer belts on the floor. The long journey takes them all night and they lose Astro to exhaustion (though he recovers) and Judy to a pack of dogs. They tell Harvey that they want to sue everyone for screwing up the earth for them. The case goes to court, but George has a problem with the jury. X sets up the Jury Vac, a robotic jury that has the Apple startup sound when plugged in, and the trial is underway. Mentok clashes with boy genius Elroy, who has a device from the future that tells him past events before Mentok does them. Freezoid uses his powers of cold on the warm August day to show how global warming is preposterous. In the end, Jury Vac gives the verdict... on the O.J. Simpson trial. Somehow, the Jetsons lose the case, and return to their own time using the Delorean from the Back to the Future films, as rising water levels surround Harvey and the gang. Everyone has a hearty laugh. |

People v. Ape |
|||
Grape Ape comes out to compete in the Laff-a-Lympics. He goes through his ribbon dancing routine flawlessly, but when he takes a bow, all manner of pills, including steroids, fall from his uniform.
Harvey walks into his office to find a giant urine sample waiting for him. Phil comes in with the Laff-a-Lympics committee, who begin to steal things from Harvey's office, something they continue to do through the whole episode. Phil hopes to get the Laff-a-Lympics to come to their city. He has a big night planned with all of them and Gigi, his (and Harvey's... and everyone else's) shared wife. Gigi comes in, and she's pregnant. She claims Harvey is the father, though he doesn't recall their ever engaging in sexual congress and they've only recently met. Harvey and Reducto have a nice chat about the whole situation, as well as the Grape Ape case that they're both working on. Reducto sees the giant primate, and shrinks him down to fun-size. Grape Ape then grabs a weight and pumps it until he grows back to his normal size, which sends Reducto off screaming about how he's met the unshrinkable. The courtroom has been splattered with ads. Gigi interrupts the case to leech off Harvey, but upon his return he speaks with a few unnaturally muscular witnesses who all claim Grape Ape had nothing to do with steroids. Reducto's witness describes the side-effects of steroids use, including withered testicles, which Reducto seizes upon since Grape Ape should show reproductive organs the size of a nearby vendor's pushcart. An expert is about to reveal the test results when he is hit by a dart in the neck by Harvey's new paralegal, son of a shaman/member of the Laff-a-Lympics committee. Eleven of the jury members vote "guilty", but the French member votes "not guilty". Mentok disregards this and convicts Grape Ape anyway. The doctor wakes up from the dart, and reveals that Grape Ape is the father of Gigi's baby. Also, the Laff-a-Lympics go to Dallas. Grape Ape and the others have to perform a court-ordered song about drugs as a sentence. |

Summary |
People v. Doggie |
|||
During a board meeting of Sebben & Sebben, Peanut's light shield starts growing uncontrollably, much to his embarrassment. He is going through "superty", the period in which a young superhero acquires his superpowers, and resents Harvey's efforts to help him.
Meanwhile, Augie Doggie comes to Harvey for help. They've put his father in a cage, claiming he bit someone. The case goes to trial, and Mentok claims Doggie Daddy is baring his teeth, and sentences him to undergo aggressiveness training. Phil trains him, treating him like a normal dog and completely humiliating and torturing him. Harvey seeks advice from Apache Chief, Batman, and Reducto, but they don't help much. What finally does the trick is Peanut's conversation with Black Vulcan about his first time (fighting a villain). In the background, you can see Race Bannon and Dr. Quest playing baseball and football. Meanwhile, Harvey is speaking with villains about helping Peanut with his first time, and finally gets one to comply: X. In return all he wants is the Crest on Birdman's helmet. Birdman agrees to the deal to help Peanut. Phil brings Doggie Daddy into the office, having completely broken him. Now, he is nothing but a mindless dog (although in later episodes, he is back to normal). X comes to collect the Crest, and just as Harvey is about to give it to him, Peanut comes in with Metallo, his new villain friend. X asks if he can still have the Crest... and Harvey proceeds to blast the bejeezus out of him. Everyone has a hearty laugh. |

Summary |
Yakky Doodle Name Change |
|||
To generate more money Phil hires an efficiency expert named Dvd (formerly David; he took out the vowels to save time, which Phil regards as brllnt). A new regime of efficiency is sweeping Sebben & Sebben, and one of its major parts is to keep only the top three earners. Harvey has to keep up with the new policy to keep his job, and watches as Phil dismantles his office.
Dvd fires Harvey's secretary Debbie, replacing her with a PDA the Supercalifragilisticexpiefficaceous. Harvey can't figure it out, but X, who's waiting outside to kill him, manages to work it fine. He's sent off to search for Yakky Doodle. Meanwhile, the efficiency changes are getting worse. Visitors to the men's room can only use one sheet of toilet paper, and Harvey's office has been sublet to a Greek restaurant, which Harvey must work at along with his legal duties. X finally finds Yakky, who wants to change both his names. Reducto opposes the idea, though not even he knows why. The case goes to court, and the guy before Harvey takes an unbelievably long time. He has to wait to the next day to start the case. Peanut tells Harvey he needs to work at the restaurant, and that he should have plenty of time while he copies the form he forgot to bring with him. At the restaurant, Harvey "accidentally" gives Dvd Ouzo instead of water, and Dvd gets completely bombed, shouting amongst a crowd of people "Who's got efficient nipples?!" In the meantime, and for no apparent reason, the court orders Yakky to undergo chemical castration, which he takes as his new name. |

Summary |
Dog v. Surgeon |
|||
Droopy Dog is suing his plastic surgeon for malpractice after he received an overdose of botox that has left his face essentially frozen. Though the case seems open and shut, Harvey produces an indemnity waiver signed by Droopy and wins the case. The surgeon is overjoyed and gives Harvey a surgery coupon catalog. Phil and everyone else around the office give Harvey their highest praises but the gratitude is lost on him and he still feels guilty at Droopy's unfair loss and remaining predicament, especially after he sees the dog crying and the image sticks with him.
Harvey is promoted to vice president of Sebben & Sebben and is given numerous executive privileges; his coupons are doled out by Phil, whose recent LASIK has left him with a second eyepatch, blinding him. X is mistaken for the interior decorator Phil hired to spruce up Harvey's office and redoes it as a huge deathtrap. Harvey tries to solve his guilt by sending Droopy a fruit basket, which he cannot eat as his jaw is frozen. X breaks into Harvey's apartment and creates another danger area. Harvey receives his huge pay and sends it to Droopy, who can actually use it this time. X sends Harvey an invoice for all his redecoration, demanding either one million dollars or his crest. He tries to pay with his new raise but then he remembers he's sent it all to Droopy. He decides against his crest and sends X the remaining coupons, which he takes as a message that Harvey thinks he's ugly. Desperate for approval, he sets out to use the coupons. The surgeon has another malpractice case for Harvey, but Harvey strongly declines him and decides to resign to keep his self-respect. Harvey heads to Phil's office to announce his decision and finds a huge surprise party Phil has thrown to celebrate all of their operations. X runs in seeking Harvey's opinion on his new surgery, which X doesn't know hasn't changed his face at all. Even Droopy is happy now that he has so much money. Harvey is repulsed by his co-workers' ideals of false beauty but no one cares. |

Summary |
People v. McGraw |
|||
The episode begins with Quick Draw McGraw attempting to bring in the Dalton Gang (who were wanted for card cheating, cattle rustling, and running a crystal meth lab). After a short shoot out, Quick Draw pulls out his trade mark guitar, only to be arrested for carrying a concealed weapon. Meanwhile, Phil Ken Sebben announces that he is running for president and shows Harvey a check signed for $12,000,000,000 (signed by Yngwie Malmsteen) and The Guitar Lobby's support. Harvey is requested by Baba Looey to defend Quick Draw, which he accepts. In the middle of the first session of the trial, Mentok the Mindtaker remembers that he is to attend his nephew's birthday party and takes Harvey and Quick Draw with him. Afterwards, the trial proceeds with Hiram Mightor as judge (whom Myron Reducto suggests is being bribed by The Guitar Lobby). After a trial filled with the general topics involved with weapon rights, Hiram Mightor spits out a miniature version of Yngwie Malmsteen (who is seen later sitting with The Guitar Lobby). Meanwhile, Peanut and Baba Looey are seen browsing through Quick Draw's guitar collection and Peanut hits and kills Baba Looey with one. At the end Quick Draw is announced not guilty. There is a celebration for Harvey winning the case and Phil losing the election, at which Peanut fires off Quick Draw's pistol at random and watches as it ricochets around the office.

People v. Gator |
|||
In a satire of erotic anthologies like Red Shoe Diaries, Phil reads a letter from Reducto detailing his affair with Norlissa, the curvaceous ex-girlfriend of Black Vulcan. She is possessed of enormous buttocks, and when Reducto finds himself unwilling to shrink it, he falls into a state of existential angst. Meanwhile, Birdman is made a bounty hunter so he can apprehend and represent Wally Gator, a volatile redneck. Reducto progressively enlarges Norlissa's butt as they draw closer together. It is revealed that Reducto is a virgin, though he is broken of it by Norlissa during an awkward love scene. They are eventually confronted by Black Vulcan the morning after and engage in a threesome relationship. The Wally Gator case draws to a close with Wally being found guilty of poaching manatees, and he is sentenced to mud-wrestle Harvey, an Abraham Lincoln impersonator and two bikini models, while Phil plays the bongos at a Cha-cha club. | Plaintiff | USA | ||

Murro v. Birdman |
|||
In the opening, Murro the Marauder is fighting Birdman and Avenger. They defeat him, and fly away, not realizing that he has been paralyzed from the waist down.
Decades later, Murro sues Birdman. Birdman needs a good lawyer, but somehow ends up with Potamus, who is more interested in making out with the female staff than working on Birdman's case. In court, Murro's lawyer Shado uses his "brain-thievery" to influence the jury. His villainous witnesses testify that Birdman had no reason to attack them; Shado also uses his brain-thievery to prevent Potamus from cross-examining them. Shado contends that his brain-thievery is fundamentally different from Mentok's "mind-taking", however the two get into frequent one-up-manship contests over their skills. Finally Mentok, tiring of the upstart Shado, delves into his mind and takes away an important fact: Shado failed to respond to a discovery motion filed by Potamus. Mentok hypnotizes Potamus to ask Shado "did you get that thing I sent you?". When Shado answers that he did, and failed to respond, Mentok declares a mistrial. |

Summary |
Hoop 'n' Holler v. Rabbit |
|||
X wins Birdman's Crest in a game of what appears to be poker, although Peanut claims it's gin rummy. He cannot collect his million dollar commission, however, as F.E.A.R. moved its headquarters and left no forwarding address.
Meanwhile, Birdman falls deeper and deeper into defeatism. He takes on Ricochet Rabbit's case against the town of Hoop'n'Holler after Ricochet destroyed half the town on one of his hyperactive outbursts. The town wants Ricochet's badge and Harvey agrees to help. The case goes badly, with Harvey's self-esteem at a low ebb and Ricochet Rabbit destroying half the courtroom, with Reducto accounting for most of the other half trying to shrink him. Mentok rules that Ricochet Rabbit has ADD, ADHD and OPP (which stands for "Other People's Problems", and is not a disease), and court-orders Ricochet to be medicated with rabbit Ritalin. The Crest takes over X's mind, causing him to become a hero. In the end, Harvey tricks X into returning his Crest by trading him a shinier (but useless) one. |

Summary | N/A | |||
A frame episode for the short "Busy Day for Birdman". Although made in 2005, the short purports to be from 1967, and features many of the modern show's characters in their original incarnations, albeit with modern ironic overtones. Under orders from Falcon Seven, Birdman spends the day foiling the plots of numerous supervillains, 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).

Summary |
Tana v. Gokk |
|||
Harvey is invited by Potamus to relax in his new hot tub, wearing a pink shower terry that Potamus has told him to put on. Potamus instructs Harvey to "hit the jets" on the tub and when Harvey does so he is enveloped in a blue light and sucked into the swirling waters of the tub. Potamus follows Harvey, trying to retrieve his hoagie. Harvey and Potamus rematerialize in what appears to be the Stone Age. Harvey attempts to call Peanut (who seems to be hosting a Lamaze class in Potamus' office) but can't get a clear enough signal on his mobile phone. Harvey is caught by a group of neanderthal cave men who believe he's the "pink manbird" (because he's still wearing the shower terry) their oracle had foretold would bring them pestilence and drought. When Potamus appears they mistake him for their pink hippo helmet-wearing God, which Potamus gladly embraces.
Phil manages to find out about the portal in the hot tub and brings Peanut, Avenger, and a Star Trek character parody to the past. Phil takes advantage of the limitless resources and lack of economy to start up several business ventures including theme parks and dinosaur hunting. Meanwhile, Harvey serves council to a cave woman who wants to leave her husband for another (exact duplicate-looking) cave man, while Potamus serves as judge. Harvey convinces Potamus not to sacrifice the woman (as the other cave men demand) but to give her and her husband marriage counseling - Phil tries to volunteer for it but Harvey decides to do it himself. Phil eventually angers the cave men and Potamus is discovered to be a sham so they all rush back to the watery portal but realize a little too late that the neanderthals and their dinosaurs followed them to the present. They all laugh and the Star Trek parody gets eaten by a T-Rex. Notes:

Summary |
Captain Caveman v. School Board |
|||
The school that Cavey Junior is attending refuses to teach evolution, claiming that it is just a myth, so his father (Captain Caveman) takes legal action, through Harvey Birdman. Peanut is sent to help prove evolution, but ends up spending all his time at a local strip club. Harvey has an identity crisis when Reducto asks him where a half man, half bird fits into the process of evolution, which involves him bursting into a Disney style song.
The next day at court, Mentok messes with a chiseler who tries to put up a stone tablet of the Ten Commandments in front of the courthouse, and Peanut tells Harvey to call Magilla Gorilla to the stand to prove evolution (a talking ape) but the jury is unsatisfied. When Cavey Junior takes the stand he points out that he read the evolution chapter, not because he wanted to learn and expand his mind, but because the chapter was required for the "federally mandated no child left behind test" necessary to move onto the next grade. Mentok declares, after pranking the courtroom, that the school can teach whatever they want, and that Cavey Junior is merely a theory, not a real child. Worth mentioning that over the course of the episode, Phil was battling the cave men and dinosaurs who were still roaming the streets from the previous episode. He joins Harvey at the end and gets himself a drink from a vending machine (with a frozen Flintstone family inside). Notes:

Also, Phil Ken Sebben takes Peter Potamus (and his three nephews Stuey, Fuey and Spuey; see Huey, Dewey, and Louie) along for an employee retreat, where Peter Potamus spends most of his time choking on a plastic beer can holder and Phil randomly blows stuff up and doesn't pay attention to Peter Potamus at all. Members of the People's Animals Freedom Front attack Harvey's office because they don't approve of him "owning" Avenger. Eventually, PAFF get sick of Magilla Gorilla's puns and they abandon him in a forest.

People v. Bannon & Quest |

Birdgirl brings to Harvey's attention a case where Dr. Quest and Race Bannon want to have a legal gay marriage to protect the boys. At the office, Birdgirl continues to be hit on by Phil and she reluctantly goes on a date with him lest he figure out she's actually his daughter. Mentok informs Harvey and his clients that he doesn't have the authority to try the case; they must argue it before the Justices League – a group of seven robed super-judges (a humorous reference to both the Supreme Court of the United States and the Justice League). Birdgirl assists Harvey with the case in between forced dates with Phil and eventually Phil proposes to her, much to Birdgirl's horror. Phil condemns the idea of marriage between Dr. Quest and Race and out of her Birdgirl costume, Judy tries to keep her father from going through with the marriage by claiming Birdgirl is interested in Birdman. There's a quick fight and an injured Harvey Birdman goes before the Justices to hear the verdict... which never comes because they're called to action via telecommunicator. Afterward, Birdman interrupts the Sebben wedding and finally tells Phil that Birdgirl is his daughter but Phil still doesn't believe him. He does however call off the wedding when he inadvertently falls for Judy's Aunt Phyllis (a blonde busty woman with the exact same face, including mustache and eye-patch, as Phil.) | Plaintiff | Race Bannon & Benton Quest | ||

The episode is presented as an orientation film for new Sebben & Sebben employees.
Much of the time is spent on Phil's youth, where he is pictured as constantly engaging in activities hazardous to his left eye (though he doesn't actually lose it until he becomes an office worker). Various characters in the series perform their typical activities: Peter Potamus demonstrates the firm's incredibly complicated system for "sending things"; Peanut demonstrates unethical behavior; Elliott the Deadly Duplicator provides employees with two of everything, except for staplers (an oversight). Birdman himself appears only as a supporting player in a few scenes. Notes:

Clam Head v. Tinker |

Chemical Castration (né Yakky Doodle; see "Gone Efficien...t" above) wants his old name back, which requires photocopying paper work. So Harvey Birdman goes to Duplication Services but he unwittingly insults the employee by getting his name wrong (mispronouncing "Elliott" as "Eliot" ("ee-lee-ought")). Despite the fact the name was spelled wrongly on his name tag, Elliott swears revenge and starts creating "copies" of Harvey. These copies are not photocopies but rather whole humans, apparently clones, that share Harvey's personality and knowledge. Unfortunately they get along, so he starts copying Phil Ken Sebben, who starts hunting Birdmans to thin the herds. Elliott then loses all control and make copies of everyone. Elliott only stops when he runs out of toner; the copies are subsequently shredded.

Shazzan the Genie v Mentok the Mind-Taker |

Avenger inexplicably starts talking. Peanut discovers a vase that, when rubbed, releases Shazzan, now in servitude to Peanut. Shazzan accuses Mentok of having imprisoned him in the vase centuries ago for gazing on the king's intended. Mentok was a genie called Mufti the Mizwa of Muzzy Tah in those days, one of several identities he has had over the years. Shazzan insists on Peanut representing him, and Mentok, after he is captured, manipulates Harvey into representing him. Mentok insists that Shazzan is attempting to frame him, and escapes from court to retrieve the halves of a magic disk that, when put back together and the magic word thus revealed is spoken (by Avenger), imprisons Shazzan in the vase again.
