Recommendation: Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Love (2001 - 2007) creators: Michael Ouweleen, Eric Richter cast: Gary Cole, Stephen Colbert, Thomas Allen Who is the man in the suit? Much like many of my compadres, I had seen bits and pieces of Harvey Birdman online, but never sat down to look at the whole thing; and after watching it I seriously don't understand why I didn't do it sooner. I have a good memory of many old Hanna-Barbera cartoons, and to see them being spoofed and returning after decades in this fashion was (for lack of a better word) hilariously nostalgic. Ha ha, nostalgia. Before I start with the humor and story and characters, I want to praise Gary Cole prematurely for once again doing a great performance, even in voice form. He is really great, and even though the material written is already great, his performance does elevate it and make some of the more poorly written jokes hit almost as hard. The same is true for most of the cast from Stephen Colbert to Paget Brewster, but Cole stands one inch higher than all of them. Ha ha, inch high. The characters are fairly memorable, and even if you don't know all of them from their original cartoons, it's fairly easy to recognize their archetypes and what they are and what they represent. Ha ha, representation. As for the story and humor, I love it but I also have to admit that it's not for everyone. It is incredibly silly, maybe too silly if you are not into childish dirty humor. It's a great premise overall, and the fact that they can use so many Hanna-Barbera properties from Scooby Doo to the Flintstones is a very welcome element, but most of the jokes hit the same notes most of the times. I love those notes though, so I found the show laugh out loud funny most of the time, but I also think I need to give the sufficient warning for it. So in conclusion, if you were wondering whether or not start watching this show, I hope I can give to a push towards watching it and experiencing it. Ha ha, shoving people. #harveybirdman #harveybirdmanattorneyatlaw #michaelouweleen #ericrichter #garycole #stephencolbert #thomasallen #comedy #animated #tvshow #hannabarbera #powerofattorney #ak88recommendation https://www.instagram.com/p/CSEJ1L6rpTs/?utm_medium=tumblr

After meeting Eric Richter from Christie Front Drive through a friend in the early 2000s, I got to ask all the questions I had pent up since high school about the early days of Christie Front Drive touring and connecting with the likes of Mineral, Boys Life and Jimmy Eat World. I was always intrigued about that connection with Jimmy Eat World and after interviewing Jim Adkins for the podcast, I couldn't wait to get them both in a room.  Schedules aligned this year and almost instinctively I stepped out of the way on this one.  No need for questions when two friends get in the room.  In this episode, you will hear Eric and Jim discuss how they did their first 7" together, the Capitol Records years for Jimmy Eat World and plenty of stories from the road.  To be able to put this together and hear Eric and Jim wax poetic on the early days of their bands was a dream come true and a first for the podcast.
