Back at the office, Avenger resigns. Velma goes on the stand, and tells Harvey that they're just always hungry and they laugh when nervous. Mentok overrides the jury and convicts Birdman, sentencing him to death. Harvey takes over for the recently deceased Phil, performing paper work and firings.

An early version of the pilot episode originally aired months prior to the launch of Adult Swim on Cartoon Network unannounced on December 30, 2000. Boo-Boo is portrayed as an anthropomorphic bear cub wearing a purple bow tie. A commercial featuring Harvey inspires him to renew his quest. Harvey and Reducto have a nice chat about the whole situation, as well as the Grape Ape case that they're both working on. 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. 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. After 26 years, he's acquired a paunch and an obsession for Birdman, but no Crest. So naturally, the Deadly Duplicator appears and makes two of him, so he can do both. Birdman agrees to the deal to help Peanut. Fortunately, they manage to make it to the distant past (2004), specifically to Harvey's office.

The next day, Boo Boo is found not guilty. He can be seen in the courtroom, along with Peter Potamus. Reducto's witness describes the side-effects of steroid use, including withered testicles, which Reducto seizes upon since Grape Ape should show reproductive organs the size of a nearby vendor's pushcart. Meanwhile, Potamus suffers from sexual harassment at the hands of Judy Ken Sebben. Finally, he settles on a parrot. Adult Swim's late night programming is full of weird stuff, so a winged lawyer is right up their alley -- as is a world full of superheroes, Hanna Barbera characters, and general goofiness from an earnest lawyer who has more wings than brains. Secret Squirrel is on the job, and needs to get a special spy gadget out.

While running across an intersection after Peanut's party, Reducto is hit by a clown-car and killed. A kid tries to imitate Ernie Devlin's deep ravine jump, and seriously injures himself. 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. 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). The chase ends as Speed Buggy attempts to climb the median "on foot." The series officially premiered on Adult Swim on September 2, 2001, the night the block launched.Many of Birdman's nemeses from his former cartoon series appear as attorneys, often representing the opposing side of a given case.

Reducto opposes the idea, though not even he knows why. 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. As a young man, X (nicknamed the Eliminator) was commissioned by the evil organization F.E.A.R.

The show is one of four spin-offs from the cartoon "Space Ghost" and follows the adventures of a fictitious law firm Sebben and Sebben, staffed by superheroes and other cartoon characters of the 1960's, …

Harvey is a failed third-rate super hero, who has traded in his volcano base for a corner office in the law firm of Sebben& Sebben after growing tired of the stresses of fighting crime. Directed by Ben Jones.
