New animated series from FX, Archer is on its sixth episode. Got a pretty stellar cast, including Jessica Walters (from Arrested Development), Judy Greer (ditto) and Chris Parnell (from SNL).

Basically a parody on James Bond 60s cartoons coupled with the mundanity of office life, a la Harvey Birdman. Definitely not for kids, but very very funny!

Adult cartoon...not my taste.

Episode 7, Skytanic, on this week..
Still very funny, consistently so. Archer reminds me of Ari from Entourage, real pr1ck, but hilariously so.

Definitely worth a look!

Definitely. Some of the writing is excellent.

Agent 99 means Austin Powers (but not as spoofy).

This show was brought to my attention not too long ago and just watched the above episode last night.

Got to say, it's brilliant.
It has me stitches every episode.

Brilliant voice acting and the writing is excellent too.
Is the show in it's second season now or what?

***Mr E*** · 11-12-2010, 17:50

10 episodes in season 1.
Season 2 starts in January.

**FreudianSlippers** · 11-12-2010, 19:11

I think it's very funny too.

Just a bump because Season 2 started 3 weeks ago. Episode 3 possibly the best episode of the entire run. Some of the blackest and hilarious TV I've seen in a while.
Definitely one to watch

It's amazing. Love it.

Haven't seen episode three but thusfar I can't say season 2 has been too good.

Love it but it's no frisky dingo (same creator) any one liking Archer NEEDS to check it out.
