This is an inspired show, written with loving care by guys who must obviously be stark raving lunatics, as well as dyed-in-the-wool cartoon buffs. Where else can you see Fred Flintstone as Tony Soprano or Shaggy and Scooby getting busted for drugs? What I think makes it truly hilarious are all the small, inside touches. (In the episode where Boo Boo Bear is the Unabomber, look for the "Fatal Attraction" reference.) The legal procedure and courtroom scenes are fairly realistic too, and Gary Cole's voice work (probably a winking take-off on his prosecutor in the movie "The Gift") as Harvey is spot-on, adding to the fun. It's a terrific show.
