DVD Review: Hysterical ‘Archer: The Complete Season Three’
Submitted by BrianTT on January 11, 2013 - 4:51pmCHICAGO – You should buy the third season of “Archer,” just released on Blu-ray and DVD, if just for the season premiere, “The Man from Jupiter,” featuring an absolutely amazing guest performance from Burt Reynolds.

TV Review: Hilarious ‘Archer’ Continues Hot Streak for FX
Submitted by BrianTT on January 14, 2010 - 12:06pmCHICAGO – Perhaps the highest compliment I can pay FX’s new often-brilliant animated series “Archer” is that, even with several new shows on my plate to watch, I actually went back and viewed a few episodes more than once. Like a lot of great animation - the best of “The Simpsons,” “Family Guy,” “South Park,” “Venture Bros.” - “Archer” is immensely rewatchable. A future cult hit premieres tonight.
