Nadril Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/archer/ Archer is a new animated TV show on FX created by Adam Reed, who is known for working on shows such as Frisky Dingo and Sealab 2021. The main character, Archer, is also voiced by H. Jon Benjamin who is most noted for his role as Coach McGuirk in Home Movies. "Set at the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS), suave master spy Sterling Archer deals with global espionage, a domineering mother/boss, his agent ex-girlfriend, and a less-than-masculine code name - "Duchess".[6]" The show also has an art style which closly mimics the one Frisky Dingo uses and, to be honest, I love it. At any rate I saw the premiere 2 episodes a few nights ago and was very impressed. It has the same sort of humor that sealab 2021 and Frisky Dingo had, which is awesome because Frisky Dingo is one of my favorite animated series. Personally I'm really glad to see Adam Reed get some work on a large network like FX, he's a really funny guy and Jon Benjamin is a perfect voice for Archer. Did anyone else manage to catch this? If so what did you think? It shows on FX Thursday nights at 10 (EST I believe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy500fan Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I saw it pop up on the torrent sites but I had no idea what it was. From the name "Archer" I assumed it was about Robin Hood and decided not to check it out (I dislike the way Robin Hood is portrayed in all modern forms [steal from the rich, give to the poor]). However this actually looks interesting. Never watched Frisky Dingo or Sealab but I think I know what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 You should definitely check it out. (and check out Sealab 2021 and Frisky Dingo too while you're at it :P). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_Servo Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I watched the two premiere episodes. The first one was meh, but the second one was pretty funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harakiri Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Thought they were both great. It had some very slow and boring parts, but it had some genuinely funny moments, can't wait to see more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpgGamer Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I didn't watch its debut, but I'll be sure to catch the on-demand release. It looked hilarious!

stevepole Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I caught part of an episode tonight, I thought it was pretty funny for what I saw. I may actually end up following Archer for a class assignment, so I'm kinda excited because I was a fan of sealab 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zierro Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 The commercials were more than enough to repel me from that show for the rest of my existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harakiri Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Tonight's episode was pretty funny. I think I laughed more at tonight's then the last two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenticular_J Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 It's on right now. A lot of the humor is sort of fast-paced and ridiculous and based in conversation, it reminds me of Home Movies. I like the show, though. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpgGamer Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Alright so I finially got around to watching an episode or 2. Pretty good :thumbup: Not funny enough for me to make a thing out of it, but if it's on I'll definietly stay tuned. It definitly had its good moments, but unfortunatly the majority of the best jokes were in the teaser commercials I saw. Although I lol'd pretty hard at the cream filled doughnut bit. And the method in which Archer handled the Mexican stand off. Good show, overall. Not amazing, but certainly enjoyable. Quote Quote Anyone who likes tacos is incapable of logic.
