that was at least as good as the burt reynolds episode

 

[Grisby]

Besides the premiere, this was my favorite episode so far. Good stuff.

 

[DrStiles]

I'd love a recording of that Danger Zone version.

It's a part of the Cherlene Album which you can grab here or in itunes

 

[big ander]

One of the better eps of the season. It was just plain funny, highlighted the whole ensemble, moved really well.

And yet this sealed the deal for me: Pam is really a problem. Even in this episode, where she was mostly a side character, every moment with her was like the episode had come to a standstill. Jesus. how did they think this would be a good idea.

 

[ampere]

That episode was very good.

Cheryl was the voice of reason not to build that pool... hahaha.

Grammy winner and possible Faustian bargain maker, Kenny God Damn Loggins.

 

[Grinchy]

Really liked this episode.

[wenis]

This season has been all over the place for me...

or maybe I've been too wrapped up in my adventures in Carcosa to laugh. I can't tell anymore.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

'Blow it out your ass," and then she did.

That was a consistently funny episode with fake silk road shenanigans, fake Internet currency and bad costumes that didn't work at all. No way would the kill Kenny Loggins. That glass swimming pool was nice, but not the way he's going to go out.

 

[Niraj]

Funniest line for me was "And, that being said, I am open to blowjobs for money. I've only got 8 bucks on me, but--"

 

[BigAT]

I liked the callback to the Sealab episode when the pool got shot.

"Okay, so, one of...one fairly predictable thing is going to happen now."

Lana not even being aware of Danger Zone or Kenny Loggins was pretty great too.

So good.

Why does it seem this season is playing at half speed? Too much dead air between jokes.

"over a briefcase with what I can only assume is either plutonium, or a human soul"

followed by

"Grammy winner and possible Faustian bargain-maker"


The writing on this show is fucking god-tier.

 

[Red]

The briefcase was a really funny gag and I love that we don't find out what's in it.

Cyril has been really pathetic this season.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

That was one of my least favorite episodes of the season. Didn't find it to be very funny outside of the blow job joke and the briefcase.

Pam is not a good Lana replacement. Keep her at the mansion and let Ray or Krieger go on a mission with Archer next time.

 

[iMax]

When are we getting to Miami, guys?

This is my same feelings. This should of been so much more awesome with Kenny Loggins. Next episode better have less Pam. Really getting tired of her.

 

[ЯAW]

Im not really feeling this season at all. Episodes are good but not good as two previous seasons. I really felt like the spy agency was good front since they got to go all over the world and even to space. Hopefully this season picks up later on but I hope Malory has something in her pocket to get the gang back into the spy work.

Yeah, I lost it at these two. Also Lana being completely oblivious to Kenny Loggins (and Archer's frustration) was hilarious.

I can't tell if she's always been this way and I just don't like Pam in large doses or if their one note cocaine joke is not funny and they keep doing it over and over and over

 

[ampere]

Cyril has been really pathetic this season.

"80 dollars... thanks Cyril."

"Please take me back!!"

lol

 

[Matt_]

There needs to be more Ray.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Just caught up on the last two, wasn't fond of the tour bus episode but loved the Kenny Loggins one. Definitely getting sick of Pam's shit though.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

I am not feeling this season. Oh well. Not every season can be great I suppose.

seriously. ray being second banana on the field to Pam is killing me. I would love another archer/ray/cyril adventure

I think we're getting that next week!

 

[big ander]

I think we're getting that next week!

Ugh finally.I just honestly can't comprehend what made Reed/Thompson think consistently making Pam front and center while Ray/Cyril/so on consistently get the shaft would be a good choice for the show. I can see where they thought the Pam coke stuff might've been funny, but not for half a dozen eps straight while ignoring the rest of the ensemble.

The second one.

 

[Saty]

This season blows.

 

[somedevil]

I like the show but the viewership is down 21% or 310,000 viewers compared to last year. What caused this? Is it no good lead in or people not enjoying how they changed it up?

 

[Tucah]

I thought a season with a ton of Pam would have been incredible. It isn't.

They moved the show from Thursdays to Mondays, so that may be a factor.

 

[Shaneus]

Your fault. I never thought it would be. The show's at it's best when Archer's kind of a dick but he's still a suave dick. He hasn't been suave for a while now IMO.

Was hoping Vice would kind of thrust him into that particular role again... didn't, though.

It's been The Pam Show since episode 2.

 

[Poimandres]

This episode was decent, but I agree with the criticisms.

Too much Pam, not enough of the rest of the cast, and the total number of jokes per episode seems way down. I wonder if the Vice stuff is going to take up the entire season?

 

[RetroMG]

Catching up on the last two episodes. I agree that there's been too much Pam, but I do actually like her in the Smokey and the Bandit ep.

ARCHER has been renewed for 2 more seasons, keeping it on the air through the rest of the Obama administration.

[D4Danger]

I am not feeling this season. Oh well. Not every season can be great I suppose.

yeah, I preferred the cold war spy stuff. This probably would've worked as a single episode.

I hope they don't do two more seasons of it anyway.

 

[Cornballer]

TVbtN notes:

Just a week after FX renewed its animated comedy Archer for a fifth season, it has greenlit seasons six and seven. Each season will have 13 episodes. This new order will give the series 88 episodes which will enable it to go into broadcast and cable syndication.

 

[ampere]

TVbtN notes:

Cool. I think the show still has some good life left in it for more seasons.

 

[Ourobolus]

TVbtN notes:

 

[Grinchy]

Awesome. I may not be praising the hell out of this current season but I'm still happy to know it'll continue. The most recent episode was great so I'm still pumped to watch every week.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Most of this season has seemed like filler. A lot of the stories either seem like retreads.

Also yeah, team anti-Pam right now. Stop making coke jokes.

 

[Musolf815]

Glad to see it's renewed, Adam Reed sounded kind of worried when he compared Archer's shift to Vice to Frisky Dingo's change resulting in the latter's cancellation.

And yeah I'm getting pretty tired of the same Pam coke joke over and over. Gimme some more Cyrill, Ray, and Krieger damn it all!
