FX Renews Animated Spy Spoof "Archer" For Second Season
FX Renews Archer
Posted Feb 23rd 2010 by Bob Sassone Archer, the new animated spy spoof on FX, hasn't exactly been destroying the competition in the ratings, but it has gotten enough viewers and critical acclaim and the network has given it a second season. This makes me extremely happy. The show isn't as laugh out loud funny as I hoped it would be (though it has had some laugh out loud moments for sure), but I love the entire concept, a modern take on the classic '60s spy genre. It's like a really irreverent, dirty In Like Flint. The voice work (by H. Jon Benjamin, Jessica Walter, Chris Parnell, Judy Greer, and Aisha Tyler, among others) is perfect, and one of its funnier aspects is how most of the characters aren't even that likable. Archer has created a world I want to get to know better (and that's a good thing, especially in a cartoon). This season had ten episodes and FX has ordered thirteen for the second season, which means they have faith in this show. We'll have to wait until 2011 for the new episodes though. http://www.tvsquad.com/2010/02/23/fx-renews-archer/ |
