I had eagerly been waiting for this show for a while but honestly it's kind of depressing. It's not that it's that bad but it's just "noise" both in terms of writing and visual design with the Birdman/Birdgirl brand attached to it. On the surface it looks like it's trying to be it's own thing however if you look closer you can see the writers of the show didn't have many ideas besides trying to remind people of things from Harvey Birdman. The recurring characters are bad new version and amalgams of "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law" characters. The dog character is like a Doggie Daddy including the "jokes" of treating him like an actual dog but with a hat that makes it look like a Peter Potamus surrogate; the green girl that for some reason wears a brassiere on the outside keeps repeating the" mind taking" and "bweeoop" catchphrases ad nauseam in case the audience forgets for a second that she is supposed to be a female "Mentok, The mind taker"; the secretary character makes me think that someone watched the scene in Harvey Birdman where X the Eliminator interacts with Debbie (Harvey's secretary) and thought "Hey! For Birdgirl let's combine these two characters. It will be hilarious AF!" The problem is not that these new characters exist in the show but that there's really nothing else going on for the show. It's weird looking at reviews of this show where apologists implore others that they shouldn't compare this show to Harvey Birdman when even the show's "mini-intro" is just a list of the most popular Birdgirl catchphrases from Harvey Birdman, which makes you wish you were watching that show instead. Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law was a show that featured dozens of very creative and funny entertainment "professionals" just having fun writing for or playing dozens of charming Hanna-Barbera characters (plus others parodied or licensed?). Birdgirl feels like Paget Brewster's talent and charm being wasted on a generic animated show with a bunch of boring not-funny characters.
