Archer
Has anyone seen the TV show Archer? It’s an animated half-hour series on FX, and it’s hilarious and occasionally filthy. The best way to describe it would be James Bond meets The Office, with a gay sensibility sometimes thrown in. A recent scene involving Archer trying to defuse a bomb was one of the funniest things I’ve seen on TV in months.
The lead character is voiced by Jon Benjamin, who’s done a bunch of different cartoon characters before (such as Coach McGuirk and Jason on Home Movies). I love his weary, cynical delivery. There’s also Jessica Walter of Arrested Development, who voices his mother; Chris Parnell of Saturday Night Live; Judy Greer; and a couple of others.
There are only six episodes, and there’s actually a four-episode marathon tonight if you want to catch up.

M as in “Mancy.” LOVE Archer.
I shall watch it tonight. Many thanks.
Just started watching it last night on Hulu. LOVE IT! The only problem I’m having is that I so associate H. Jon Benjamin’s voice with Coach McGuirk that I’m having a cognitive disconnect looking at the handsome Archer while hearing McGuirk’s voice. His delivery really is fantastic, though.
Ha, Matt said the exact same thing about hearing Coach McGuirk.
