Okay I know I'm late to this party, but Amazon had the first season of Archer on sale recently and I picked it up on a whim.

Wow! This is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen in my life. Perfect balance of comedy that hits you upside the head as well as the kind you have to think about for a second. The cast of characters is brilliant and the writing is light years beyond most "adult" cartoons these days.

I cannot wait for the new season to start on 1/27!

Highly recommended!!!

    Still haven't fully given it a chance, the previews look funny and I found out Chris Parnell is on the show, I loved him on SNL.

    h. john benjamin (home movies, archer, bobs burgers) has gotta be my favorite voice actor... maybe tied with john dimaggio (futurama, adventure time) and hank azaria (simpsons)

    and jessica walter always reminds me of arrested development... so that helps :)

    this is definitely a golden age for adult cartoons :D

    Per Wikipedia, since they probably could explain it better than I could...

    Set at the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS), suave master spy Sterling Archer deals with global espionage; a domineering, hypersexual, late middle-aged mother/boss, Malory Archer; his ex-girlfriend, Agent Lana Kane; her ISIS accountant boyfriend Cyril Figgis; and a less-than-masculine code name—"Duchess"

    watched it when it first came out, and it did nothing for me. caught the restraunt episode the other night, and i laughed my ass off. it appears they have rubbed off the rough edges.

    Anthony Bourdain was brilliant :lol:

    Archer is one of my favorite shows on television. Funny stuff.

    This show is rude, crude, inappropriate, vulgar, crass, distasteful and obscene. It can be racist, homophobic, sexist, disgusting and politically incorrect. Above all, it is absolutely perfect and bust-a-gut hilarious. :-bd

    And to think, my dad turned me on to it.
