Guide Review - Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law Vol. 2 DVD
In season two, God help me, Harvey takes on issues. When the threat color level is moved up to the cover of Rush's seminal album, "Moving Pictures," frankly, I couldn't have been happier. So, yes, they're making fun of us for being scared of terrorists. But Harvey can be totally random: a Greek restaurant opens in Harvey's office.
In this volume, the premise is more fully realized and the show is better for it. Is guitar control really a good metaphor for gun control? Well, no. But it allows the show to make a lot of cheap jokes. Guitar control doesn't really seem to have too much to say about gun control, except to make fun of both sides of the issue.
The DVD menus are nice, a scrawled over textbook. Some nice extras are included. I do wish the extras would've had a "play all" feature, but, not a big deal.
The characters are all great. Elroy Jetson in his finest moment. Yakky Doodle, well, I just love Yakky. X's odd quest for Harvey's crest. Judge Mentok the Mindtaker reading witnesses' minds.
I think I should probably say that I also think that Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law is the last old school Adult Swim show left and it's been cancelled. Somehow, Squidbillies just doesn't fill the slot. Wherefore art thou, Brak?
