    And we're off and running with another season of great animation, skillful voice acting and hilariously foul-mouthed fun.

    Archer proves exactly why it's been so great since the beginning: Smart writing, great voice cast, cool animation and, just so you understand, still more smart writing.

    Good start to the third season, and from what I sampled, it builds from there.

    A spoofy, sarcastic and hilarious exercise in adult animation.

    The animation remains a little crude, but the show is at least trying to be a bit more dynamic in its action sequences this year. And the roughness contributes to the comedy.

    I think its jokes are predictable and its '60s-era styling is tired.

It might not hit the high-notes the first two seasons did, but it still continues the expected excellence the previous two season established. Things like awesome animation, phenomenal voice acting, and humor that is both excellently timed and written are all here. There are also some fantastic guest voice actors. Regardless of whether or not you find it as good as the previous seasons, the 3rd season of "Archer" will still bring tons of laughs and is worth your time.… Full Review »

Once again, I'd love to see the secondary characters get more of a backstory because I am sure it'd be hilarious. Archer is a good lead character but he gets old after a while, Add in other characters to the story would spice things up and keep it fresh. Other then that, It's simply an enjoyable show.… Full Review »

The first season was hilarious, and the during the second season i literally couldnt stay on the couch because i was always rolling on the floor laughing, but so far with season 3, it's just not to the level of season 2. Am i saying its bad? God no, Archer is still Archer, just not as good as the first 2 seasons. Hopefully the second half of the season will improve. 7.5/10… Full Review »
