Legacy
Birdman took a comedic turn in the late 1990s, when Cartoon Network aired the act break short "Coffee Break," and then doubled their efforts with the Adult Swim sequel/spin-off spoof series Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, from 2000 to 2007. In 2018, it was brought back for the one-off special, Harvey Birdman: Attorney General. Then astonishingly in 2020, Adult Swim launched the second spin-off, Birdgirl.
Birdman was also a guest star in several episodes of Space Ghost Coast to Coast, as an associate of fellow superhero Space Ghost.
