History Trivia / HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw

* TheWikiRule: [[http://harveybirdman.wikia.com/wiki/Harvey_Birdman_Wiki The Harvey Birdman Wiki]].

* TroubledProduction: The second episode, "Very Personal Injury", was apparently a nightmare to finish because [[Creator/RoughDraftStudios the overseas studio]] couldn't get the comic timing right, resulting in a lot of post-production timing correction. There were also some technical issues that arose. This is why there's such a long list of "special thanks" credits, because they had to pull in a lot of extra help to work on it. It's very possible that this is what precipitated bringing the animation in-house as opposed to sending it overseas.

* TheOtherDarrin: For his first few appearances, Peter Potamus was played by the late Creator/JoeAlaskey, with Creator/ChrisEdgerly taking over for the rest of the show.

* TheOtherDarrin: When Colbert left the show, Capcom was forced to find new voice actors to voice his old characters for the game, all of whom are considered by fans to be inferior in quality.

* ScheduleSlip: One of the main downfalls of the series. While the first season aired on schedule, the remaining episodes aired all over the place, with one or two airing then a gap of nearly a year before the next batch aired. Potentially mocked in "Turner Classic Birdman":

* ActorAllusion: When the office workers mistake Phil's brother for Phil himself.
--> '''Everyone:''' ''"He's back! Phil's back! Phil's back!"''
--> '''Random Employee:''' ''"[[Creator/StephenColbert Stephen's]] back!"''
** [[FreezeFrameBonus A well timed pause]] will reveal a bus with an ad for ''Series/TheColbertReport'' [[spoiler:running over Phil]].
*** Before that, when Phil says he's leaving:
----> '''Phil Ken Sebben''': So, I got this tremendous opportunity! My own law firm! Might put my name in the title! Get a big S-shaped desk! Great for interviews! A spin-off, if you will!
----> ...
----> '''Harvey:''' So... you're leaving us?
----> '''Phil Ken Sebben''': I wouldn't say that. I'll just be extremely busy on the [[Series/TheColbertReport new show]], err, firm.
----> ''(Stephen Colbert himself can be seen in the elevator on the ride down, amongst Phil's luggage.)''
** Alluded to on Colbert's show as well, after pointing out that presidential candidate Mitt Romney had a nervous "ha ha" laugh that sounded similar to Sebben's. He even held up a copy of the DVD, and did the laugh live.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: First part of two-parter "Deadomutt" was originally supposed to be last episode of first season, hoping it would influence Creator/AdultSwim to pick them up for second season. However they weren't thrilled at all and demanded a conclusive ending for the last episode, forcing Michael Ouweleen and Erik Richter to write a new script in panic. The resulting episode, "The Dabba Don", ended up being one of the best episodes of the whole series, and they got their pickup anyway, with Deadomutt pushed into the new season.

* TheOtherDarrin: When Colbert left the show, Capcom was forced to find new voice actors to voice his old characters for the game, all of whom are considered by fans to be inferior in quality.
