Unless you're a regular FX viewer, the animated spy comedy Archer may have flown under your radar when it premiered earlier this year. Now that it's scheduled to release on DVD December 28th, is it worth your investigation? That depends. Do you like the spy genre, but appreciate that it's sorely in need of more up-to-date mockery than the fizzled Austin Powers franchise can provide? Do you enjoy the squabbling of workplace comedies such as The Office but would prefer that they involved more gunplay? Are you still mourning Arrested Development and do you wish Jessica Walter and Jeffrey Tambor would do something together again? If any or all of the above apply, Archer may be just what you're looking for.
Following the adventures of a lecherous, self-involved spy named Sterling Archer -- codename "Duchess" -- the show is a mixture of typical spy missions that go wrong in atypically amusing fashion and sharp-tongued workplace squabbling. Jessica Walter voices Archer's domineering mother, who is also his boss at the spy agency ISIS. Aisha Tyler provides the pipes of his ex-girlfriend and fellow agent, Agent Lana Kane, and Chris Parnell voices Lana's new boyfriend, insecure ISIS comptroller Cyril Figgis. Also in the mix are the lovely and talented Judy Greer as ISIS's oversexed secretary and the aforementioned Jeffrey Tambor as Len Drexler.
The show's two-disc first season will cost you $29.98 and will include assorted bonus features including the un-aired Archer pilot, “Making Of” production shorts, and deleted scenes.
