Memorable quotes
Yogi: He was a good little bear. Until the park got a corporate sponsor.

Boo Boo: I do believe corporations rob us of our dignity and independence, and that these systems must be ripped down, burned down, or leveled by any force necessary...

(Everyone in the courtroom gasps)

Boo Boo: But that's just one little bear's opinion!

Release
Dates are in order of release:


 * United States: July 14, 2002 on Adult Swim (Cartoon Network)

Behind the scenes

 * The plot is a parody of the 1985 film Jagged Edge.
 * Harvey begins an affair with Boo Boo, revealing that they are both gay, which is somewhat hypocritical given Harvey's ever so slightly irked reaction to the possibility of Race and Dr. Quest being in a relationship in "Bannon Custody Battle".
 * Judge Mightor refers to the foreman as Mr. Foreplay.
 * Buster Brown, a comic strip character, is mentioned.

Everlasting influence

 * Harvey and Boo Boo get married in "Return of Birdgirl."
 * The case is reopened in "The Death of Harvey."
