How powerful does he sound when he shouts BIIIIIIRD MAN at the end? Love it. I'm only 20 years old, but I remember watching this on Cartoon Network when I was little. Amazing. Love the sound effects in all HB stuff!!
kudos for Hanna-Barbara for producing so many fine cartoon classics. I still have a VHS tape with episodes of Birdman and the Galaxy Trio. Good times...
I grew JP watching all those classic '60's H-B cartoons, and love em all. Brings back a lot of fond memories, especially the cool jazz music used in the action cartoons (Shazam, Birdman, Space Ghost, Frankenstein Jr., etc).. Thanks so much for putting this cartoon themes here!
You see that? All he has to do is shout his own name. No one liners, no angst, just a (bird)manly cry of his own moniker. Plus, he can blow up an aircraft by pointing at it. Now thats a hero *salutes*
Just like Superman,Birdman gets his powers from the sun. I wish. Hanna-Barbera would bring back Space Stars on Saturday morning on NBC. Space Stars had Space Ghost,Herculoids and those three teenagers Elektra, Kid Comet and Malcular-Lad. They fought Ugloid the space-villain. I love that animation in the eighties.
A few years back I was reminiscing about this with a friend. It was late. Unfortunately his wife didn't share our enthusiasm. Some nonsense about waking the kids or her needing sleep or something ...
Birdman kicked ass. He had the typical generic beam that could do whatever he wanted it to. Very handy when you cant show any real blood and violence. Just shoot Badguy X with the orange beam, have him close his eyes in pain, and keel over. BIIIIIIIRD... MAN!
Thank you SSJAssasin! Always loved the "Birdman" intro! Love him even more now, 40 years later, as an attorney! Both of the "Birdman" and "Space Ghost" original 60's series are out on DVD now! I can't wait for "The Herculoids"!
Once at nieman marcus some guy going up the escalator let out a ear shattering BIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRDDDDD MAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!! for no reason but to kill the deafening silence in there and confuse those who are too young or old to get the joke. I nearly peed while dying laughing!
I never knew Birdman had his own show, I always seen him on the world of Super Adventure. He had one of the best battle cries of alltime next to Space Ghost, Thundarr, and He Man. From what I remember Birdman was gay as far as superheroes go because he always needed help from the bird or from his son. Space Ghost, Mighty Tor, or Great Samson would have whooped that bird ass.
I remember I saw this first and then Hawkman in Challenge of the Superfriends and I thought Hawkman was the rip off. Seriously, even the way they come in close up from the sun is damly similar but now I know who of them is the original.
NOOOOOO, I wanna cry..... what a memories.... quiero llorar que buenos recuerdos.... I had a sweater that looks like the birdman suit tenia un suetre que se parecia al traje de birdman XD
Whenever an opponent plays the Bird opening against me in chess, I remember my childhood days. Standing tall on the couch with a scarf tied around my neck as a cloak, jumping and pointing one hand upwards , screaming - BIRRRRRD MAN!!.
Thanks for posting. Brings back a lot of memories from my childhood watching saturday morning toons such as this, Galaxy Trio and Herculoids. Great stuff
Best part is "Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirdman" :) Thanks. 10 years back cartoon network would telecast such cartoons. Nowadays its just boring. Also another awesome intro is spaaaaaaaaaaace ghoooooost :)
Awesome! This was cool to watch although he was a Hawkman wannabe! I always liked watching this show along with the Galaxy Trio, especially when you compare this show with Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law which is awesome! Thanks for posting!
Birdman was SO much more powerful than Hawkman. I remember in the Filmation cartoons, they augmented Hawkman's powers by having him shoot rays from his "claws" but the comic book Hawkman had no special weapons, and could only fly.
Love how every hero from that time had the innate ability to fire beams from their hands xD Loved that era even though I didn't grow up n it :( I MISS GOOD CARTOONS
I love how they could get away with blatant colouring mistakes and absolutely minimal animation in those days :P And not only that, but put them into the title sequence too!
SSJASSASIN, GRACIAS POR PONER A UNO DE MIS HEROES FAVORITOS QUE ERA BIRDMAN,ME TRAJISTE RECUERDOS DE CUANDO ME SUBIA AL SOFA Y GRITABA BIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDMMMMMMMANNNNNNNNNN. JA JA JA. GRACIAS.
I love Birdman. This was when he was a coolass superhero... and not a goofball, like on Harvey Birdman. They make a great team... him and Avenger. This is the REAL, original Birdman... not that crappy Cash Money rapper. LOL
Ah, so refreshing to see "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law" in his younger days. Now he rocks a suit and tie. Birdgirl is now wearing his former birdman outfit here. LOL!
man I used to watch this plastic man and others on CN power zone ....years ago...beautiful
This cartoon is classic gold!
We got our first color tv when this cartoon aired on tv.
How powerful does he sound when he shouts BIIIIIIRD MAN at the end? Love it. I'm only 20 years old, but I remember watching this on Cartoon Network when I was little. Amazing. Love the sound effects in all HB stuff!!
Keith Andes was the original voice. He did an episode of Startrek TOS.
I saw my first ever episode of Birdman yesterday night on Boomerang.
It was glorious.
I saw my first ever episode last Saturday! Glorious indeed!
This one and Johnny Quest's, the two best musical themes ever composed for a cartoon show.
i enjoy this show tremendously. this has got to be the hammiest superhero ever created.
This cartoon is a classic!
kudos for Hanna-Barbara for producing so many
fine cartoon classics. I still have a VHS
tape with episodes of Birdman and the Galaxy
Trio. Good times...
I had this on VHS too.
I remember being Birdman for Halloween when I was a kid.
This cartoon was awesome... I loved the intro, especially the ending.
BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRDMAN!
I was screaming this at work, and nobody knew where it was from. I fear I'm the last survivor of birdman fans in the AZ area.
Oh,how wonderful it was to be a child in the 60s.
They all yelled out their name. Like SPAAAAACE GHOST!!
And I they seemed to fight the same creatures.
But they were the best cartoons!
Or how about "Black VULCAAAAAAAAAAN"
I grew JP watching all those classic '60's H-B cartoons, and love em all. Brings back a lot of fond memories, especially the cool jazz music used in the action cartoons (Shazam, Birdman, Space Ghost, Frankenstein Jr., etc).. Thanks so much for putting this cartoon themes here!
All that music was great, thanks to Hoyt Curtin... Truly the end of a great era in animation. Today's cartoons are shitty drawn garbage.
Birdman is the superhero with the best singing voice, especially holding that note so well! Biiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdddmaaannnn!
Space Ghost and Birdman have best theme songs going on. This one is so swinging! I love it!
The end made me cry with lols.
I had no memory of this one, until I heard the "Birdman" call at the very end. NOW I remember.
You see that? All he has to do is shout his own name. No one liners, no angst, just a (bird)manly cry of his own moniker. Plus, he can blow up an aircraft by pointing at it. Now thats a hero *salutes*
this and captain planet were my 2 favorite superhero shows when i was a kid. i wish they would give these guys more credit
Best. Catchphrase. Ever.
one of my favourite themes and openings for a cartoon show, without a doubt
BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRDMAAAN! Haha, my dad did it so great!
Bwahaha, I can't believe I used to watch this.. so many memories.
Just like Superman,Birdman gets his powers from the sun. I wish. Hanna-Barbera would bring back Space Stars on Saturday morning on NBC. Space Stars had Space Ghost,Herculoids and those three teenagers Elektra, Kid Comet and Malcular-Lad. They fought Ugloid the space-villain. I love that animation in the eighties.
ahahhaha he was always screaming his name LOL
A few years back I was reminiscing about this with a friend. It was late. Unfortunately his wife didn't share our enthusiasm. Some nonsense about waking the kids or her needing sleep or something ...
this and other hanna - barbara cartoons and cartoon network made my childhood days... i grown with these cartoons. and i want those golden days back
Birdman kicked ass. He had the typical generic beam that could do whatever he wanted it to. Very handy when you cant show any real blood and violence. Just shoot Badguy X with the orange beam, have him close his eyes in pain, and keel over. BIIIIIIIRD... MAN!
well. i've been watching this as a kid all the time. never did anything violent.
correction: adding weed to this cartoon makes it create violence
If only someone had the good sense to upload JUST the Birdman yell. *Wink wink, nudge nudge*
anyone else just watch this so you can hear him say BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRD MAN! at the end?
Gosh, I haven't seen this since I was a kid...and I'm 47 yrs old!!!!! Thanks for posting!
Ha ha ha, that part is hillarious. Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirdman!
Thank you SSJAssasin! Always loved the "Birdman" intro! Love him even more now, 40 years later, as an attorney! Both of the "Birdman" and "Space Ghost" original 60's series are out on DVD now!
I can't wait for "The Herculoids"!

If I were there, I would've died. (I have a crush on Birdman)
@@unwelldanny7108 I had one too.
Headcanon: Birdman shops at Neiman Marcus
loved this show, watched the re-runs in the early 90s.
"Biiiiirdman" - Birdman
LOOL, you took me back to my 1st grade!
Thanks
BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRD MAN!
mann i used to watch all these Hanna-Barbera shows when i was a lil kid. I jus love how Birdman is now an attorney now LOL
birdman kicked my ass. Rock over london, rock on chicago. Polaroid-- see what develops.
You've got Boomerang to see this show and other H-B classics on, don't you?
Holy shit. And here I was thinking I was the only one who loves to hear retro announcers yell superhero names. lol
Simply the best cartoons ever made please let your kids see all these cartoons please thank you birdman
I never knew Birdman had his own show, I always seen him on the world of Super Adventure. He had one of the best battle cries of alltime next to Space Ghost, Thundarr, and He Man. From what I remember Birdman was gay as far as superheroes go because he always needed help from the bird or from his son. Space Ghost, Mighty Tor, or Great Samson would have whooped that bird ass.
That was my favorite cartoon I really used to love it. It's been 15 years since then but I fuckin love it. Birdman rules!
If they were to ever bring back the show updated, one of the things I would like to see brought back would be the theme song.
I remember I saw this first and then Hawkman in Challenge of the Superfriends and I thought Hawkman was the rip off.
Seriously, even the way they come in close up from the sun is damly similar but now I know who of them is the original.
NOOOOOO, I wanna cry..... what a memories....
quiero llorar que buenos recuerdos....
I had a sweater that looks like the birdman suit
tenia un suetre que se parecia al traje de birdman XD
thanks for posting, this brings back a lot of memories from Saturday mornings as a kid. Very camp show. The Harvey Birdman cartoon was a great satire.
Whenever an opponent plays the Bird opening against me in chess, I remember my childhood days. Standing tall on the couch with a scarf tied around my neck as a cloak, jumping and pointing one hand upwards , screaming - BIRRRRRD MAN!!.
0:45 now thats a scream
Birdman y el Trío Galaxia, éstas si eran caricaturas de la Hanna Barbera! No los dibujos grotescos de hoy!
loved those Hanna Barbara cartoons of the past! nice post
i really miss these guys. thanks for the upload.
cheers to the cartoon network classic toons!
Thanks for posting. Brings back a lot of memories from my childhood watching saturday morning toons such as this, Galaxy Trio and Herculoids. Great stuff
Wow! My Loveliest childhood days...My infant memories,,,Birdman,,,
The only problem in this show is the fact that the bad guys just don't attack at night.
Best part is "Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirdman" :)
Thanks. 10 years back cartoon network would telecast such cartoons. Nowadays its just boring.
Also another awesome intro is spaaaaaaaaaaace ghoooooost :)
Awesome! This was cool to watch although he was a Hawkman wannabe! I always liked watching this show along with the Galaxy Trio, especially when you compare this show with Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law which is awesome! Thanks for posting!
i love the apathetic robot at 0:31 that actually manages to DEFEAT biiiiiirdman in his own opening theme
Birdman was SO much more powerful than Hawkman. I remember in the Filmation cartoons, they augmented Hawkman's powers by having him shoot rays from his "claws" but the comic book Hawkman had no special weapons, and could only fly.
Love how every hero from that time had the innate ability to fire beams from their hands xD Loved that era even though I didn't grow up n it :( I MISS GOOD CARTOONS
I love how the spider rolls over haha
awesome theme. full of excitement. excellent!
the best music ever for a cartoon intro
I AM BIRDMAN WATCH ME FLY!!!

I love how they could get away with blatant colouring mistakes and absolutely minimal animation in those days :P And not only that, but put them into the title sequence too!

I love Birdman. This was when he was a coolass superhero... and not a goofball, like on Harvey Birdman. They make a great team... him and Avenger. This is the REAL, original Birdman... not that crappy Cash Money rapper. LOL
:21
How the hell do animators end up with errors like this (look at Birdman's head)?!?! DON'T THEY LOOK AT WHAT THEY'RE DOING?!
Ah, so refreshing to see "Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law" in his younger days. Now he rocks a suit and tie. Birdgirl is now wearing his former birdman outfit here. LOL!
cuanta nostalgia, con solo oir el grito se me puso la piel chinita....
That battle cry is epic but hillarious at the same time. Now hes saving the world by bringing criminals to justice.....in court.
