Archer on FX

Post by Zeether »

This is probably one of my new favorite comedies by far. If you liked Frisky Dingo or Sealab this will be right up your alley. It's a great lampooning of spy movies and is full of Arrested Development level humor and callbacks. So far I'd have to say Krieger is my favorite character because despite being minor he is sometimes responsible for some of the best gags and lines.

Your authority is not recognized in Fort Kickass. :wink:

Great show. The whole cast works wonderfully together, its amazing they record their lines separately. One can never have enough H. John Benjamin.

Krieger is good. I think Pam is my favorite character though.

wasn't some of the cast from that old show Home Movies? I have seen a couple of episodes and I really like it, but it never seems to be on tv when I'm able to watch.

H. Jon Benjamin was Coach McGuirk in Home Movies. Also I think there may be some voice actors from Sealab 2021 in there.

You may be thinking of Bob's Burgers, which also has H Jon Benjamin and but is done by Loren Bouchard of Dr Katz/Home Movies fame.

Bob's Burgers also has H. Jon Benjamin from what I heard. He's also in Family Guy. Basically if you hear something resembling Coach McGuirk's voice it's probably him.

I watched last week's episode and liked the Magnum PI reference. "Did you see Regis this morning?" "Yes." *gunshot*

This show is sooooo AMAZING. Netflix has the whole 1st season streaming. And Hulu keeps up to date with this season (though they only get put up 30 days after broadcast, sucks to not have FX). Frisky Dingo was one of my all time favorite shows when it was airing. Archer isn't as crazy but is still great. H Jon Benjamin is second only to Billy West in voice acting.

Also... Woodhouse is the BEST character.
