Archer on FX

Yeah, very scary "John & Yoko" photo there.

His mother is played by the actress who played Lucille on ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, and man, she gets up to some serious effed up stuff on this show.

I read somewhere that all the characters are based on the actual likenesses of the voice actors, so the guy who plays Archer does indeed look like Archer.

All do except H. Jon Benjamin looks nothing like Archer.

He surely does not.

Anything H. Jon Benjamin does piques my interest. I celebrate the man's entire catalog.

Archer looks like Xander Crews. I was actually surprised it wasn't the same voice.

"Your confederates in Operation Butthole" made me absolutely lose it.

I wish more women today would wear their hair in a beehive style. We really need to bring that back!

The look of this show just reminds me so much of Mad Men crossed with Connery Bond.

I'm caught up to episode 6 and I love the show. Kreger is my favourite character. He rarely has lines but when something comes out of his mouth I lose it.

"I'm sorry are you adressing me? Because your authority is not authorized in Fort Kickass."

"What, is diabetes busy?"

That one snuck up on me.

Despite my Stormy avatar, I wasn't the first in my household to pick up on Archer. My wife has DVR'd every episode. So glad she did! So many great lines.

She kept walking around the apartment the other day saying "Is just fyat dripping off kehbehbs."

She's also appropriated Lana's hearty "YUP!" Awesome.

Lana Kane is hot as hell.

Agreed. This earned a guffaw and the rare snort.

Love this show. Soooooo inappropriate and funny.

How can someone so hot have hands that strong?

Come on. She kicks serious ass and wants to get freaky while watching interracial pr0n. She could have hands like LeBron James' and she'd still be hot as hell.

My favorite moment so far:

Archer: Stop. Shut up. I have to go, and If I find one single dog hair when I get back, I'll... rub sand in your dead little eyes.

Woodhouse: Very good, Sir.

Archer: I also need you to go buy sand.

Woodhouse: Yes, Sir.

Archer: I don't know if they grade it, but... coarse.

How hard is it to cook a poached egg? Seriously, that's like Eggs 101.

I was so sure Lana was voiced by Katey Sagal, of Married w/Children & Futurama fame, but it is in fact someone else entirely, Aisha Tyler.

Who is, in and of herself, also hot as hell.

YES. I was sure of this, until I looked it up on IMDB.

Loved the joke about Cheryl liking to be choked during sex and then the callback later in the episode when she's had sex with Cyril, and she's using makeup to cover the bruises all around her neck. NICE.

...who is voiced by Judy Greer, also of Arrested Development ("Take a good look at THESE!") fame. Can't wait till they reference the flashing joke in the cartoon.

I thought the same thing, too. Long after I knew it was Aisha Tyler, in fact.

I wish I had the chance to see Aisha at Charlie Goodnights a month or so ago, she is funny as hell, gorgeous, and intelligent as all get out...I'll be in my bunk.

And a dedicated gamer, last I remember. I saw one of her standup specials on TV, and while I thought it was meh, I'm still a fan of Aisha anyway.

Is this show finally up on Hulu/FX? I'm getting really peeved at only having been able to see one episode.

Q. F. T.

Man, I love this show.

Unfortunately nobody's watching it. It's been shedding viewers steadily over it's run up until the last couple weeks, but it's still doing pretty badly, even by cable show standards.

14-Jan-10 - 1.82
21-Jan-10 - 1.23
28-Jan-10 - 0.87
4-Feb-10 - 0.62
11-Feb-10 - 0.76
18-Feb-10 - 0.87

Doesn't help that the premiere season is taking place largely during the Olympics and they decided to run it against multiple other entrenched Thursday night shows.

pretty good series love the sense of humour and all the politically and morally wrong things that happen!
