Birdz intro
History
The series debuted in October 1998 for CBS' Saturday Morning lineup.
The show is about a ten-year-old bird named Eddie Storkowitz, who films his everyday life in aspiration of becoming a filmmaker. His family includes his father, Morty, who is a psychiatrist; mother Betty, an artist; older sister Steffy; and baby sister Abby. Several episodes focus on Eddie's class, which includes an owl named Olivia, a robin named Spring, a turkey named Tommy, a woodpecker named Gregory, and a bat named Sleepy, plus teacher Miss Finch and principal Mr. Pip.
Creator Larry Jacobs thought that the show received poor ratings because it aired after the news in most markets.
