Saturday Show Recommendation

Archer.  In its second season on FX Archer has shown consistently that it belongs on the list of great comedies currently on TV.  Not for the faint of heart, the animated show irreverently follows secret agent Sterling Archer through his sexual and spy lives as they intertwine with ISIS - a secret government agency run by his mother.

When it comes to crossing lines of decency, Archer (both the show and the character) excels at it.  However, as a favorite comedian of mine says - when I cross my line of decency it reminds me that I have one...

Featuring some great actors in voice over parts, Archer offers a star studded cast.  It includes: Aisha Tyler, Jessica Walter, Chris Parnell, Judy Greer and Jeffrey Tambour.  There is a very obvious connection to Arrested Development with the mother played by Jessica Walter - and this only adds to the hilarity of this show.

Basically the show, to me, feels like everything James Bond would say and do if his movies were not intended for audiences of all ages.  Archer provides laugh out loud sequences every single week, and as the episodes are only 20 minutes long, it is easy to enjoy a few episodes at a time without wasting the day.



Episodes can be watched out of sequence, but really, to get the most from the show show, start from the beginning.  It's a great series, and if you are ok with pushing your line of decency for a bit - you won't regret tuning in.

Until the next episode...
