This is why I watch Harvey Birdman: Non-stop parodies of classic HB characters along with today's pop-culture.

"Perfect"

By SailorCallie, Apr 28, 2006 Report Abuse

A send-up of HBO's mega-hit, The Sopranos, has Fred Flintsone "thinking" that he's a mob boss as a result of one too-many hits with his bowling ball. The entire episode had me in stiches because not only The Sopranos are spoofed, so does The Godfather and other mafia films.

This is a truly classic episode and I highly recommend it for fans of this show. :D

A very good parody of 'The Sopranos' and Mob movies in general.

"Superb"

By BoringPolitico, Nov 11, 2005 Report Abuse

'Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law' is an all-around stellar show that takes classic Hanna-Barbara characters and places them in various situations requiring the aid of B-list superhero Birdman (here with the added "Harvey" to his name).

The situation in this episode takes Fred Flintstone, and a whole bevvy of other prehistoric Hanna-Barbara characters, and makes them all mobsters. As Spyro suggests in the episode, "They're the modern stone-age 'family.'"

There are plenty of sight gags and cameos of all sorts of lesser known characters. Captain Caveman, Thundarr the Barbarian, and a scene straight from 'The Godfather' involving the head of Quick Draw McGraw are all to be found in small scenes here.

All around an excellent episode.moreless

ADD NOTES
- This episode was suppose to aired before "Shoyu Weenie" due to Judge Mightor being smashed by a rock which Judge Mentok taking over his place. Edit
- The episode name is a joke on Fred's famous catchphrase "Yabba Dabba Doo" and the nickname of mob boss John Gotti, the "Dapper Don". Edit
- This episode was the last to be made of the 2002 set, but was not considered the season finale due to the episode order that had to be filled. Like most shows on Adult Swim, more than two season's worth of episode would be combined into one single season do to the amount of episodes in each. Edit
