schimbare This cartoon had the great hanna barbera voices & sounds collection. Also the character design & the animation were very good aswell(I think Alex Toth worked on them). It is revolved around the power of science/technology, created/used by evil geniuses/terrorist organisations/underworld kingpins, who must be stopped by Birdman and his companions, Avenger and later on Bird Boy ( they always seem to add infant sidekicks characters to make the children audience get involved even more in the story as they will identify themselves with them). Bridman lives in a secretly high tech located volcano, where he gets messages from his secret services boss (falcon 7), through video conference ( he seems to be controlling some kind of computer for this & also some other few times when investigating stuff). The vilains are from a wide variety of worlds, from thiefs to mercenaries, aliens, robots, evil geniuses to evil organisations. The episodes runs in a fixed format, with Birdman working in it's volcano lair and suddendly getting a message about some weird event, behind which is suspected to be some evil. Birdman investigates, finds the source of the issue, usually gets in problem and somehow needs to be saved or get a lucky break, and finally finding a way to overcome his enemy. Sometimes,his enemies break away and don't get caught at all ( that happens quite often in fact).There are multiple enemies who return in more than 1 episodes, as a result. The episdoes are short (6-7-8 minutes) and they used to be run in pair with "The galaxy trio". An episode of "The galaxy trio' would be sandwiched between 2 episodes of birdman, that making it about 20-23 minutes segment.Great show for the kids of the time, as it was so creative, so out of this world. Even now, it would be interesting for kids to see, if they like Hanna barbera cartoons- I think HB are the goat of cartoon franchises). Too bad Birdman didn't get more credit, as Batman/Superman/Spiderman did. He was unique, although Hanna Barbera did kind of reboot him in Blue Falcon & Harvey Birdman, attorney at law.Both he/SpaceGhost were shutdown due to so called violence presented on screen. I disagree on that, I watched it when I was 4-5 and it didnt' had any negative effect on me. They fight scenes were not graphic at all.

richard.fuller1 Have to warn of possible spoilers, need to focus on best words to get the job done. Need to use all my concentration on the keyboard to strike the right letters or else! Thus was the world of Birdman. A man in a bird costume with sun powers, who recharged with the sun. He was a solar powered hero, it seems. Why not Sun Man? Looks too much like Superman I guess.So we use a bird? Avenger the purple eagle is a truly strange sidekick. He behaves like a dog. In watching the shows, I half expect him to bark once or twice. When Birdman is in a cage, Avenger actually tries to bend the bars apart."No, no, trusty Avenger. It's no use." Galaxy Trio always reminded me of the Fantastic Four, minus the Human Torch. They are aliens of some sorts. In one episode, we learn Gravity Gal is a princess and her father is a king on Gravitas. Apparently Meteor Man didn't know that either.There would be Bird Boy (voiced by the remarkable Dick Beal, who was 40 when he did this voice, he also did Buzz Conroy in Frankenstein Jr, Davey in Davey & Goliath, Alka Seltzer kid and Ralphie Phillips the daydreaming kid in WB cartoons) and one episode has Bird Girl.The setups are so limiting and puzzling. Why is Falcon's Lair in a a volcano? I used to wonder the same thing about Space Ghost. Villains would contact Space Ghost and tell him what crime they were going to commit and challenge him to stop them! I thought, why did you contact him in the first place? Birdman actually gets a recurring bad group called F.E.A.R.Now they don't call this group FEAR. Birdman and others, including the group themselves!, will say the letters out. F.......E......A.....R Birdman has at least two appearances on Space Ghost: Coast To Coast, subbing for SG (initially there had been plans for Birdman to get the talk show, but eventually this was given over to the more popular Space Ghost) where we learn he is separated from Gravity Girl and he is devastated by it.But the Harvey Birdman, Atty At Law cartoons are a great extension and understanding of this truly puzzling cartoon.I've watched Space Ghost with SG:C2C, Sealab 2020 with 2021 and they really are great additions to the original shows.Birdman and Harvey Birdman are pretty much the same.

raysond I remember this show vividity as a teenager during the late 1970's as part of Hanna-Barbera's FANTASTIC WORLD OF ADVENTURE! But as for the Birdman bit,it was hokey,but sometimes stupid in some parts. Birdman and Avenger(his pet eagle with superpowers) would take on evil doers and monsters,and when our hero was in a situation he would go right up into the sun to recharge his energy and then comes back with his sun shield in hand ready for action!!!!!But it wasn't always the case................. One episode in particular was with Birdman taking on his arch nemesis THE SCORPION leaving him in situation where he cannot get out to the sun to restore his powers leaving him and Avenger in a dangerous situation...... This was a three parter episode,where Birdman and Avenger fights to save the world from nuclear destruction(with special guest Hanna Barbera superhero of all people!) which left viewers to tuned in next week for the continuation of our story. As far as THE GALAXY TRIO are concerned,I never like them since they ruined the effect of the show................... HB's WORLD OF ADVENTURE was a full hour of non-stop animated action and breathtaking suspense all in one cartoon show!!! It came on every afternoon which featured Space Ghost,The Herculoids,Birdman,Mighthor, Buzz Conroy and Frankenstein Jr.,and Super Samson(which featured a teen that transforms into a ancient superhero,and has pet lion with laser eyes!..only in a cartoon).

Staack117 Ever notice that the least-fit people to do a job, are many times the ones in charge? I would sooner trust Charles Manson to produce a cartoon for kids, than the people responsible for this train wreck. Retro-fanatics delude themselves. There are no excuses for something like this. Budget or technology limitations never stopped many endeavors which had thought behind these. Birdman and The Galaxy Trio is a tragedy. It's as if the most mentally void people in the world came together to make an action cartoon, or a bunch of criminal-geniuses went to great lengthes to make the WORST CARTOONS EVER. I pray for the latter. I have learned through experience that it takes a lot of work and thought to make something intentionally HORRIBLE. One has to think of every mistake, and every flaw that would annoy viewers. Birdman and the Galaxy Trio is so chock full of 'plot' holes (the plots of each episode could be summarized in about 4 words) and oversights. The animation was terrible, even compared to Space Ghost or The Herculoids. There were too many cheap liberties taken because of poor planning and writing. Unlike Super Globetrotters, The Gary Coleman Show, or Mr. T, this stupid animated series has no redeeming value. While the above are funny to watch because of it's campiness, Birdman and the Galaxy Trio should be avoided like the plague. Never have I seen an animated series that could make so many people LITERALLY ANGRY at how poor it is.
