LACKLUSTRE CARTOON oft seen on GLEN MICHAEL’S CAVALCADE. Eponymous hero had eagle wings on his back, and his sidekick was a large intelligent bird. Lived inside the peak of a mountain outside of a city which he defended. Half-remembered battlecry along the lines of, well, “Birdman”.

Repurposed for the Adult Swim strand of the Cartoon Network as “Harvey Birdman, Attorney-At-Law” (taking on cases involving other Hanna-Barbera characters) to hilarious effect. Though indeed shown on Cartoon Network in the US, over here the big bosses’ refusal to believe CN appeals to anyone who isn’t a child means that Harvey’s had to practice on Bravo (first UK home of this and other Adult Swim shows until they dropped them… thank goodness for FX!).
