Did you watch Archer after It's Always Sunny?
Is it just me or is this season's crop of new TV shows totally "Oh shit, I'm gonna put that on my DVR"-worthy? I did some catching up this weekend, and I finally got around to watching the obvs excellent It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia premiere. FX decided to be super sneaky, though, and secretly broadcast new show Archer under the It's Always Sunny banner, meaning my DVR picked up the debut episode as well. Archer is an animated series about secret agent Sterling Archer (codename: Duchess) who works at international spy agency ISIS with his ex, her new boyfriend, a secretary who loves him and his domineering mother. I had seen a clip (check it out below) of Archer so I was pumped, especially because it involves some of my favorite people ' Judy Greer as the secretary, H. Jon Benjamin (you'd know his voice ' Home Movies, Dr. Katz) as Archer, Chris Parnell as his ex's new love interest and consummate member of the Hall of Fame of Awesome Jessica Walter as Archer's overbearing mater. It's like a lot of other Adult Swim-ish shows. It's got a vintage look ' like Harvey Birdman or Sealab 2021 ' and half of the hilarity is derived from irreverence paired with animation ' i.e. characters saying "shit," having phone sex, big tits, etc. It doesn't add anything to the formula, but who cares? It's snappily written and continues the It's Always Sunny asshole theme of the evening. Plus, if it means Judy Greer gets a paycheck, I'm down. Here's the clip:
