Premise: Risqué cartoon about a superhero lawyer who works cases involving (and spoofing) Hanna-Barbera characters like Fred Flintstone (suspected of mob activity) and Scooby-Doo (busted, along with Shaggy, for drug possession). Harvey himself was actually a creation of the 1960s, though he wasn't practicing law then. The series airs as part of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block.
