I'm a huge Harvey Birdman fan. Like recite every line type of fan. Needless to say, I had high expectations for Birdgirl. I wanted to see quick wit, politically incorrect jokes; I wanted that almost 1970's style animation and I was also hoping to see familiar characters. Birdgirl gave me none of this. Like many other fans, I was disappointed, but as I continued to watch, I realized that Birdgirl wasn't meant to be Harvey Birdman. This is a new era at Sebben & Sebben. One where Judy is in charge. This is Judy's story, not Harvey Birdman's. We should expect it to be different. Once I realized this and got over myself, I found this show enjoyable, funny and relevant. Harvey Birdman was a great show that I loved as a teenager and one that made sense for the early 2000's. Birdgirl is a bit more "woke" ( I hate that word) and has a mostly female cast ( I know, blasphemous!). I would argue that Birdgirl is the perfect example of a show that's relevant in 2021 and one you want to watch with your teenage kids.
