Television Archer

[Organic Potatoes]

I thought the last one was fine. It was your typical change of pace episode with everyone stuck in one place, a la "Seinfeld, four?"...

 

[MUFC07]

Last episode was archer at its worst.

You all serious? I think the last one was very very good, although the previous one was a bit crap.

 

[Eboue]

You all serious? I think the last one was very very good, although the previous one was a bit crap.

It was shrill and obnoxious and Pam got to talk.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

It's been great, as usual.

But I just found out there's a version of the pilot episode in which Archer is replaced with a raptor. He has no lines and continues to make raptor noises for the entirety of the episode and apparently it makes no sense. I must see it.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

Right, I just found a link. It is absolutely mental, the raptor is genuinely roaring through the episode with the other characters reciting their original lines. Mental.

Amazing. Got a bit abrasive after awhile, but was hilarious at the start.

It's on dailymotion if anyone is searching.

It was the "original pilot", which they made but had to redo because the studio decided that the actor was too old. Perhaps, so old he was "prehistoric"?

The elevator episode? I thought it was very good. I disliked Pam's sister's wedding one. That was awful.

You 'tards have ridiculous standards. Archer has been consistently refreshing this season.

I don't think I do personnally, my default mode is to try to enjoy anything really and I was one of the few on here who actually enjoyed the Vice season overall. I just strongly disliked the episode with Pam's sister, I found it tedious and Pam's voice should only be heard in small doses.

 

[Rado_N]

I didn't like the elevator one, but Pams wedding one was good.

Archer set it's own standards so high it's inevitable there will be a few poor episodes.

 

[KiD MoYeS]

The elevator episode was pretty good to be honest.

 

[Crackers]

I really liked the Elevator episode too.

 

[Sylar]

Yeah liked the Elevator episode. The baby sitting one was ok but not great.

 

[R.N7]

AD reference with the stair car.

 

[Rooney in Paris]

Enjoyed the last one, well at least Archer & Lana's story. The other guys' one was incredibly pointless now I think of it and basically just set up a couple of cutaway jokes.

"Don't do that" "Nope".

 

[VeevaVee]

It's been great, as usual.

I've only just started watching this show and went to put it on with that episode being the first in line stated as being the 'unaired pilot'.

It took me a good two minutes to realise this cannot be it and by this point I was thoroughly pissed off at all the raptor screeching.
I'm surprised I even clicked on to the next episode. I'm glad I did though.

 

[Rado_N]

This week's was the best one this season.

The subplot stuff with Pam et al was pretty lame but that was probably 2 minutes combined, the rest of it was brilliant.

 

[The Taurean]

This season has been great overall.

It was, but massive kudos to them for fitting Brownsville neighborhood into the episode. The depiction was dead on

exactly my thoughts

 

[Rado_N]

exactly my thoughts

Piss off, stop copying my thoughts.

 

[adexkola]

Hehe, @Eboue = @JayWalker

What ever happened to Jaywalker?

 

[Ivor Ballokov]

etc, etc, mashed potatoes

 

[Sylar]

My fav ep of the season.

I dont know why but "sorry i tried to spit roast your mom" just had me cracking up. It was probably the delivery from Archer.

 

[gormless]

Just discovered this on netflix. its great! just starting on the first series

 

[Dante]

Wow!

 

[Rooney in Paris]

So good. That Bay of Pigs reference

 

[Zarlak]

Then WHY, IS THERE A VAGINA, IN THE SIIIIIIIINK??

 

[Silva]

Is that really why they call it dicing or was it a joke?

 

[Zarlak]

I don't know but when I heard it I turned to my colleague and said 'I didn't know that'. Mind blown.

 

[Silva]

Wiki says it is. Blimey.

 

[matherto]

I thought this series had gone off the boil but I've really enjoyed the last two episodes.

 

[Rado_N]

I thought this series had gone off the boil but I've really enjoyed the last two episodes.

Yea the first few were hit and miss but from the one with Lana's parents it's been at its best again.

 

[Sylar]

I don't know but when I heard it I turned to my colleague and said 'I didn't know that'. Mind blown.

Kinda the same. I only just learnt that from the episode haha. Damn.

I enjoyed that episode a lot. Was a lot of fun.

 

[Ivor Ballokov]

Best episode for ages.

Toast.

 

[Rado_N]

Best episode for ages.

Toast.

Better than the trip to Lana's parents?

Also he story of how Archer ended up in Wales

A long, long time ago, in a period known to historians as the ’80s and ’90s, TV networks loved to have characters from one show visit the characters from another. Steve Urkel once stopped by the Tanner family home on Full House, and Frasier and Lilith Crane had a layover in Nantucket, where they got to know Joe and Brian Hackett on Wings. The crossover was always popular for promoting synergy and ratings, even if it was lazy as hell. Fortunately, we don’t see it all that much these days, but if there’s suddenly a crossover renaissance, we’ll have Archer and The Americans to blame.

On tonight’s episode of Archer, the two hit FX series will collide when Matthew Rhys provides the voice of a Welsh spy who “matches wits” with Sterling and Lana. Obviously, Rhys isn’t playing Philip Jennings on Archer, but Kirk Cameron didn’t need to play Mike Seaver to swing by Full House. Unlike those dorky TGIF and Must See TV ratings grabs in previous years, though, Rhys’s guest role is actually the result of FX’s Super Bowl XLVIII party, according to Archer executive producer Matt Thompson.

A little over a year ago, FX very kindly invited Adam Reed, Casey Willis, and I to New York City (you can just say New York) for Super Bowl XLVIII. This was the one where the Seahawks ran over the Broncos, not the one where they threw it all away in the final moment. The game was a blow out and for me, the best moment happened on the way to the game.

We were in a group of about forty FX talent, producers, and directors. We had to meet at exactly 9:30 for the buses to pick us up. It was imperative that we be on time as our buses would have a police escort to the stadium in New Jersey. Apparently you really did not want to miss the escort otherwise you are stuck in really long security lines. All forty of us show up on time… and wait.

It seems that our buses were to follow Rupert Murdoch’s bus, joining his police motorcade. I am fully aware that I just name dropped Mr. Murdoch, but please know that I am just a guy in Atlanta that makes a cartoon with lots of farts and boobies. I know this. But for that moment, I am sitting there with all of the other FX people (the hilarious The League cast was cracking everyone up), waiting on our benefactor to get rolling. As we all sat on the bus, people started to get a little antsy and a little bored. Matthew Rhys from The Americans graciously decided to entertain us all with a real life story from his homeland of Wales.

Matthew told us about the Free Wales Army from the 1960’s. They hated the English and attempted to bomb critical pieces of British infrastructure. The problem was they were a little bit bumbling and only succeeded in blowing themselves up. Twice. Matthew had us all laughing our asses off and, on the spot, Adam promised to turn his story into an Archer script starring Mr. Rhys. This coming Thursday is that episode and for the very first time in our show’s history, it contains the slightly odd writing credit of “Written by Adam Reed. Story inspired from a Rousing Tale by Matthew Rhys.”

You may miss a big nod to The Americans if you don’t watch and love that show like we do (and if you don’t, you are a dummy). In the episode, Matthew’s character goes back and forth between a Welsh and an American accent, putting on a wig and glasses to become American. It makes me laugh every time I see it.

If the result of this splendid idea is Pam removing one of Cheryl’s teeth in the most intense and sexual way possible, this could end up being the greatest episode of Archer to date.

 

[Ivor Ballokov]

Better than the trip to Lana's parents?

Maybe I have a little Welsh bias going on but I think I laughed more at this episode.

Even "the idiots" side story was brilliant.

 

[Zarlak]

I liked that episode, but the one with Lana's parents was better.

'Don't be shitty Archer, you killed one of my guys'
'Yeah but wasn't that the best shot?'


'.............................Sorry I tried to screw your mom'
