New York Daily NewsDavid Hinckley
So if someone asks what's new and good on TV this fall, tell them "Archer." Then you might want to turn off your cell phone for a while.

I got many more sustained belly laughs out of the show that follows Sunny in an under-the-radar sneak preview.
Read Full Review >VarietyBrian Lowry
Based on this preview, though, Archer gives FX something that the drama-heavy channel hasn't enjoyed for awhile--namely, a sharp comedic arrow in its quiver.
Read Full Review >Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen
Archer may be crude but it's far more clever than last fall's disappointing "Testees," and "Archer" wins points with its observational humor about modern life and in its mocking of mundane workplace minutiae, such as computer passwords and the lack of security at a spy agency.

Excellent. Took me by surprise after the season premiere of Sunny and literally had me roll off the couch laughing. Can't wait till January for more!
Jeremy gave it a10:
I had just enough time between laughing to hear the next line of dialogue which would make me laugh and so on for 30 minutes. Every line out of every one of the ensemble cast's characters had me laughing like stewie does when he thinks somethings really funny. I've never been so excited about a show after seeing just one episode.

Haha.... I thought it was funny. Especially when he told his butler he if he screwed up he would rub salt in his eye.... then told his butler he needed him to pick up some salt. LOL!

Surprisingly good. Can't wait for more.
