Archer, everyone's favorite drunk, womanizing, autistic super-spy is back for season 5!

Lets get the important stuff out of the way: :siren:Season 5 premiere is on Monday, Jan 13th 10PM EST, 9PM CST on FX:siren:


Other Important Things™

Season 5 is slated to be a radical departure from previous seasons: http://www.uproxx.com/tv/2014/01/archer-season-5-matt-thompson-interview/

I havent read much about this since I dont generally read Archer spoilers and prefer my artisanal hand crafted cartoons as untainted by public opinion as possible.

You can also get your hair cut, presumably by and/or like Archer in Manhattan in a truck. Go for it if you live there, please




Looking for your Archer fix before the season starts?

How about Archer: Top Gun? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7HkG6OSo3E

By "just to confirm" he pretty clearly meant "it says so in the OP but FX stupidly decided to move like 90% of their good shows to FXX so we're still positive this is on FX right?".

No need to get sassy.

Yeah, pretty much this. My cable company doesn't carry FXX so its super annoying to watch The League.

Also, I hope instead of having the vague cold war/1960's style they go full on vague 1980's feel.

I think Archer's mainstream popularity is too great for it to be on FXX, compared to shows like an aging Sunny, The League, & Legit.

Of course, with this radical change, I hope that popularity holds up.

Yeah Ron is the best character added since the first episode and needs to be in more episodes. I'm so pumped after waiting this long and anticipating new Archer ever since the break. This is how you make people pumped for a new season without using lovely cliffhangers: make the show loving awesome.

Read an article about the reboot and I thought, being spy\spy agency was such a periphery issue they used to frame the characters, I didn't really think it that big a deal they are abandoning it.

So all this new stuff happening that's getting people excited and causing lots of black bar conversations - will it become apparent from episode one and safe to go back and read those black bars? Or is it better to just forget they exist in perpetuity and enjoy the season as it unfolds?

As far as we know, yes, pretty much all the black bar conversations right now will be safe to read after the first episode. Maybe the second, at most.

If everything in the [spoilers] doesn't happen or get set up in the first five minutes of the first episode I'll be surprised.

I bought the paperback when it came out, and was pleasantly surprised that it was actually a pretty funny book! Definitely worth a purchase.

The Parks and Rec book is too, if anyone cares. Both are super solid.

Well, the entire first episode is apparently dedicated to ISIS's shutdown, with the coke selling plot only being set-up at the end, so it'll be at least an episode.

Man, I am so ready for Archer to be back.

I work like a couple blocks from where the truck was today, on Madison and 24th. Was far too busy to get anything from it, but my friend got a shoeshine there and gave me a free keychain that also happens to be a bottle opener. This show is doing good charitable work for people.

Feb 10, 2007

Although I think Season 4 was a step back, my hopes are still high for this season. The main problem I had with last season was that the side characters (Krieger, Pam, Cheryl et al) became side characters again, but with the change in the format I'm gonna bet that we'll be seeing a lot more of all of them. I looked ahead on my cable guide and the episode description caught my eye: Someone who has been with ISIS since the beginning dies. They're coming strong out of the gate.

I didn't know there was an Archer truck that gave away free stuff, let alone the fact that it was in Manhattan. I would have walked there if necessary.

I hear that Legit is coming back in February but I don't know what the day, time, and what day of the week it'll be on. I hope it does well enough without the bump it got from Archer.

FX does appear to stream full episodes of their shows once they have aired, but it looks like you need to have an account with a participating cable provider to view them. Hulu says they wont be streaming any episodes, and I'm sure netflix wont have them until long after season 5 has aired.

That's troubling to me because I've been trying to wrap my head around on how Cyril would be okay with any of this. He's put up with some serious poo poo from these people, but I don't think he would do any of this unless he was being held at gunpoint the whole time.

The end goal of getting grotesquely rich can motivate people to do a lot of things. I'm wondering more how they're gonna bring Lana around on it.

I subscribe to the TV pass on Amazon. It's like 2.85 a week for HD, and you get to keep the episodes for good. It's a really good deal if you don't want to get a cable package for one show.

Thanks. For some reason I never manage to get my account verified for those things. Maybe the wife will be up for it.
