Babysitter

"Incredible Hippo" is the third episode of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law season four, and the thirty-fifth overall. It aired on October 15, 2006 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. It was written by Michael Ouweleer and Erik Richter, and directed by Richard Ferguson-Hull. There is no particular Hanna-Barbera series in this series except for the studio's works in general.

After Phil's shocking death, the firm falls into the control of Harvey, although it would be if Potamus and his new partner, Cubby, didn't have other ideas of how to run things.

Development
Phil leaving the firm (and eventually being killed off) is full of inside jokes of his portrayer Colbert having to leave Harvey Birdman to star in his own show, The Colbert Report. The bus that kills Phil also advertises The Colbert Report. Reducto is also killed by the same bus for the same reason.

Music
The music is composed by Michael Kohler.

Behind the scenes

 * The front of the Sebben & Sebben building says "An AOL-Time Warner Co." despite them having already departed ways.
 * Poots & Bladders, Scribble, and Clueless are parodies of Chutes and Ladders, Scrabble, and Clue.

Errors

 * Ol' Dirty Carny is spelled Old Dirty Carny.
 * DeLisle is credited for voicing Debbie even though she doesn't appear and her voice doesn't come through the intercom.

Home availability

 * This is free to watch on the US geo-restricted Adult Swim website.
