If Billy Madison and James Bond had a baby...

...it would be called Archer. OMG every word that comes out of this guy's mouth is hilarious. The female protagonist Lana is just as gutsy and even more in charge making her the perfect counterpoint to Archer's backward bond-type idiocies. The shows allusions are extremely literate and it successfully lampoons the secret agent genre. Sexual innuendo abounds in this super gory, action packed semi-animation that will leave your jaw dropping and you asking yourself, "Did I just hear that?"

The cast is amazing and talented. Archer is played by H. Jon Benjamin who you may remember from "Home Movies" or "Dr. Katz" while the heroine Lana is played by Aisha Tyler, one time host of "The Soup." This show is going to be the most quoted cult classic of the decade no doubt. So do yourself a favor get the torrents or catch the show on the FX network website. Also, now available on Hulu.
