"Archer" - Season One - Talkback (Spoilers)

[Fool's Gil]

So Carol/Cheryl/Crystal's name change is a running gag. Hilarious and I take it there's a hint in every episode that there's something amiss, for example:

Spoiler

Conrad is supposed to be jewish, but he's uncircumcised. The fact he almosts kills Archer is the kicker that things are to be noticed in every episode.

Loved how Conrad was playing everyone throughout, And Lana is...very, very strong. Maybe Reed's hinting at something about her?

 

[Rick Jones]

I think Conrad's gonna make one cool nemesis the next time he's back. But wow Lana is ridiculously strong. It's scary

"could you choke me a little bit?"

HAHAHAHAHAHA. this show is better than anything they ever did on Adult Swim.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. this show is better than anything they ever did on Adult Swim.

Ain't that the truth!

Last night's episode was hilarious, and I'm not quite sure how Archer survives all these encounters. He is so trusting of everyone who pretends to be normal people, or he finds a connection with, lol

And Ms C-Since she keeps changing her name-is just insane. Being choked by a drooling Fireman gets her hot, wow!

 

[Rick Jones]

It was hilarious how Archer started laughing uncontrollably at the thought of Woodhouse tied up and scared. I wonder why he doesn't just quit? That pay must be ridiculously good.

This show is at risk of being cancelled. The ratings get worse every week:

700,000-800,000 is not bad for 10pm on Cable

 

[Dogasu]

Still, the show has apparently lost half its viewers since it started. That's not a good sign.

Man, this show is getting the boot!?

While the ratings aren't 'horrible', they are showing a steady sign of dropping fast.

The best chance this show has is FX being very understanding.

FX allowed It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia to grow into one of the channel's biggest hits, the first season of that series had pretty bad ratings, but the channel trusted the word of mouth to increase its ratings and renewed it.

The League had pretty mediocre ratings too, but got renewed for a 13 episode second season as well.

The only difference is The League posted some increases in ratings, however small they may have been. I don't know how easy FX will be on Archer if the show continues to drop, we better pray it increases in some way, justifying FX to renew it.

FX promoted the hell out of Archer, I think the show's main problem is it has no solid lead-in series and it's airing at a very bad timeslot where it is competing against all the most popular shows on the Thursday night 10 PM timeslot. FX should really split It's Always Sunny's seasons up into two different chunks similar to what Comedy Central used to do with Reno 911 and now do with South Park. This way, it could have benefited Archer to have Sunny as a lead in.

FX is a pretty laid back channel and is similar to HBO in the sense that when a series gets good buzz, they tend to allow it time to grow, rather than just cancel it with trigger fingers like Network TV channels. So, we can only hope they give this show room to grow.

What about 620,000?

And Ms C-Since she keeps changing her name-is just insane. Being choked by a drooling Fireman gets her hot, wow!

It's also a nice bit of continuity. There were bruises around her neck after she had sex with Conway in ep 3.

Aww man! Say it ain't so! This is one of the few new shows that has me completely hooked. I wonder what could be behind such a huge drop in numbers.

Lol I didn't notice!

Damn. It's a real good show. What's the problem?

What's the problem?

Maybe it's the competition. It airs opposite Burn Notice on USA. NBA season is going on and sometimes TNT is airing a game.
