Line 1:
{{work}}
A short-lived creation of [[Nelvana]], specifically by Larry Jacobs, now the creative director of [[Cookie Jar Entertainment]]. It first aired in the United States on [[CBS]] in 1998, as one of the network's last [[Saturday Morning Cartoon|Saturday Morning Cartoons]]
The show's main character is a blue preteen bird named Eddie Storkowitz. His mother, Betty, is a professional artist and his father, Morty, is a psychiatrist. Eddie dreams of being a filmmaker and sometimes shoots videos of his family and friends' antics.
Line 14:
* [[Character Development]]: Even in the course of 13 episodes, Mr. Nuthatch becomes less paranoid, and Sleepy does more than just sleep at the drop of a hat.
* [[Credit Card Plot]]: "Can't Buy Me Love" has Eddie using his father's credit card to buy gifts for his teacher, then for his classmates.
* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Miss Finch gets this role in many of Eddie's [[Imagine Spot|Imagine Spots]]
* [[Disguised in Drag]]: Sleepy, as part of a staged purse-snatching {{spoiler|done to try and summon Birdman}}.
* [[Drive-In Theater]]: "A Face in the Crowd" starts at a ''fly''-in theater.
Line 21:
* [[Flintstone Theming]]: Lots of things get avian names. In particular, "anybird" for "anyone" starts showing up in later episodes.
* [[Funny Animal]]: Right on the borderline. The adults are pretty much [[Petting Zoo People]] (particularly Miss Finch), but they also do avian things such as eat bugs, migrate for the winter, etc.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: In one of his [[Imagine Spot|Imagine Spots]]
