A funnier sophomore season!!!, Nov 18 2011

Rare are those shows that actually grow and show improvement with each subsequent season. This is one of those shows...
While the first season focused mainly on the ensemble aspects, it still revolved mostly around the title character. I am, in no way, taking anything away from Season One. It still stands head and shoulders above the typical sitcom dribble that pollutes network TV. However...I have to say that I laughed like I haven't in years watching the second season.
The supporting cast was definitely more fleshed out (as much as you can in an animated series). The cancer themed episodes, while gut bustingly hilarious at times, also showed a side to Sterling that wasn't there in season one...a bit of a soft side. Pam, Cheryl, and Krieger each had several times to shine as stand alone characters of interest. I have to give the MVP of season two to Pam, though. Her past is more brought to light and the "kidnapping" episode really shows you just how strong her character is (literally and figuratively). Lana, Cyril, and Malory still seem pretty one dimensional...but each have their moments in the sun this season as well.
Hands down...still one of the funniest and smartest comedies in TV history...and second only to Arrested Development.

Archer is easily my favorite show of all time. The second season was amazing and I'm counting down the days until season 3 begins. Even if you've seen all the episodes this season's special features are worth the money. I've never laughed so hard on one of the special features. Archer is a great show, it has some of the best one liners I've seen come from a show. The cast is great and group of very funny people with H. Jon Benjimen in the lead. I would recommend everyone to see this show.

Archer is a great show. Pretty crass and immature but such complex, hilarious humor. The first season, as a novelty, seemed more fantastic than the second when I was used to the wit and antics of the characters. My husband and I watch Archer whenever we need to relax. It's just an effing awesome show. Make sure you get Season 1 first. The special features are great, too.
