Animated FX spy show. The creator also worked on Sealab and Frisky Dingo. It has the Frisky Dingo animation style with some Venture Brothers mixed in although not as crazy with the characters. The first season just ended and you can see it on < Hulu >. I haven't watched them all but what I have seen I have enjoyed. Posted by GORDON on Mar. 26 2010,17:11
I started DVRing the last 3 episodes... frikkin hilarious. Also extremely raunchy for basic cable. Showing dudes bending chicks over in the broom closet, etc.But, then, I also loved Sealab and Frisky Dingo.
Posted by WSGrundy on Mar. 26 2010,17:14
I still have the last few episodes on my DVR to watch but after the 2nd episode I went online to see if it had been renewed. Thankfully FX renewed it for season 2.
Posted by GORDON on Mar. 26 2010,17:18
Based on the first episode I ever saw, I knew I'd be buying the season 1 DVD.
Posted by Leisher on Feb. 03 2011,07:28
I purchased and have been watching Season 1. Hilarious show. Very adult humor. Is it me or is FX quietly putting out some of the best TV shows lately and they don't seem afraid to cross any lines? The Shield, Archer, The League, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, etc.
Posted by GORDON on Feb. 03 2011,08:01
The new season just started and is HI larious.There are dick stitches.

Archer's voice is also the lead voice in "Bob's Burgers" which isn't horrible.

This is one of the funniest damn shows ever.And I knew immediately what they were riffing the last scene, because it was the exact scene I always describe when trying to convince someone how badass Magnum PI was. I remember about 3 times when he shot an unarmed person in the face.

Yup.Season 3 started last night.
Wait.... did you see the 3 episodes with the pirates? I couldn't tell if they were the end of S2 or the beginning of S3. They were sort of in the middle.
Posted by Leisher on Jan. 20 2012,12:26
According to the site, there have only been 2 episodes of Season 3 shown so far. I don't remember pirates. I remember Cancer, and lots more background on Pam and Cheryl/Carol.
Disappointed that I don't know more about Popeye and that I didn't see Conway Stern.
Although, episode 1 of season 2 was particularly fantastic.

Not sure how they'll stretch that out for an entire season. I also hope they find their way back to their roots once they fail (they're not going to sell it, get rich, and retire as that would end the show). I've seen too many shows depart from their core and start hemorrhaging viewers.
Posted by TPRJones on Jan. 08 2014,08:44
I'd rather see the show go in a new direction like this than suffer from bored and uninspired writing.I think it'll be fine, as long as the corporate suits keep out of it.
Posted by Troy on Jan. 08 2014,10:11
Sounds good to me. They do homages to all the spy stuff - might as well do it for Scarface, Miami Vice, etc.Get caught, break out of jail together, go back to the spying bidness by the end of season arc....
Posted by Leisher on Jan. 09 2014,12:20
I'm cautiously optimistic about this massive change. Although, the story line reason behind it is flimsy, to say the least. How does the government shut them down with claims that they aren't legally doing what they're doing when the government has known about them since Season 1 (and obviously before that)? Maybe they've fallen out of favor, which would be far more believable... That would also allow for a return if desired. So when is Season 4 hitting Netflix? I hate how they time this shit. Season 4 should have been on Netflix two weeks ago so people have time to catch up or get primed again for Season 5.
Without spoilers, does it seem to you folks who are caught up that all plot lines have been resolved? Did Conway Sterns ever show back up?

I meant the last few episodes, but yeah, those last two were not standalone funny.
Posted by GORDON on Jan. 21 2014,18:04
"... ranked 4th in the world in competitive wind surfing."And, basically, those episodes tied up the Sealab show. Y'all should watch that, too. The evolution of Archer went Sealab 2021, Frisky Dingo, then Archer. All of it was great. Sealab was almost in stoner-funny territory, but not quite, and very quotable. FD was storyline oriented, and hilarious. Then there was Archer.

Posted by GORDON on Apr. 01 2014,19:37
Ok, completely original speculation, I have not read this anywhere. This is all out of my head:Mallory has taken ISIS DEEP cover. She has gotten ISIS disavowed, and the plan was to accomplish some mission off the radar using the cocaine to open the door to something. We don't know yet. This "Archer Vice" operation will be resolved this season and next season they will be spies again with a big thanks from the US Government. Since the FBI seemed clueless when they first got arrested, and Mallory went over their heads to get them off the hook, their target.... might be the CIA gun runner who just appeared the last episode?
At least I hope so. If they don't win like 20% of the time, they stop becoming fun to watch. This season has been one kick in the nuts after another.

Posted by TPRJones on Mar. 02 2015,04:02
The absolute best comes out of a food truck that roams randomly around Houston. It doesn't have a name and it's location is unpredictable. And that doesn't help you at all.Most likely the best stationary brisket place is in some tiny town somewhere that I've never heard of. But my own personal experience would point towards < Franklin Barbecue > in Austin. But they're only open for lunches and the lines can be rather long. I had to wait in line three hours when I was there, but it was so worth it.
EDIT: There are quite a few other places around the state that are pretty darn good. If you do end up coming to Texas let me know where and I'll see what I can remember and/or find out. I guess it's possible some other states might also have good brisket places, but that seems highly unlikely.
