Identity Theft

"Identity Theft" is the eleventh and final episode of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law season three, and the thirty-second overall. It aired on October 23, 2005 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. It was written by series creators, Michael Ouweleen and Erik Richter, produced by Evan W. Adler, and directed by Richard Ferguson-Hull. The Hanna-Barbera series ridiculed in this episode are several, bringing to light the "cloning" the studio did in order to replicate the same success with the same general idea of similar-looking teenagers and a talking mascot, which gets more (or just as) unbelievable with each take.

The Deadly Duplicator gets revenge on Harvey by duplicating an endless wave of doubles of him, confusing an already delicate trial of stolen identity.

Filming
In a deleted scene of several Harveys at Duplication Services, Dynomutt is also in line, but when he sees one Harvey behind him, he wets himself and runs away, because he believes Harvey tried to kill him with a photocopying machine in "Deadomutt Part 1".

In another deleted scene, Linda Ronstadt performs at an anti-nukes festival.

Music
The score was composed by Michael Kohler.

Behind the scenes

 * The janitor outside of the Sebben & Sebben building is dealing with an "A" next to Time Warner Co. (which apparently owns Sebben & Sebben), a reference to the brief merger of AOL and Time Warner.
 * The designs of each Ranger Smiths are a joke on the changes made to Ranger Smith throughout The Huckleberry Hound Show and The Yogi Bear Show.
 * Edgerly isn't credited for Potamus, although his laugh is recognizable at the end.
