  1. I can't believe I forgot to put Archer in my list. That might be one of my favorite shows. I love the combination of brilliant writing with humor that sometimes seems unfit for the level of intelligence in the writing. After I saw one episode of Archer I was in "The Danger Zone." Also, the voice cast for the show is perfection. I think that H. Jon Benjamin is perfect for Archer and Chris Parnell is perfect for Cyril.

  2. I know! The writing is brilliant! the presentation is awesome as well. I've seen every episode at least twice and I still find something new when I watch an episode again! I can't wait for the next season.

  3. I LOVE ARCHER!! Oh my god. The jokes are fantastic and, like you said Matt, I can laugh at every episode no matter how many times I've seen it. I also really like the art for the show. I think its interesting how they used a 3D look for the backgrounds while the characters themselves are simple 2D drawings. Its awesome.
    And did I mention the comedic timing is amazing!!?? ok...I'm done.

  4. OK. Archer. Do you ppl just DVR this show, or watch it online, or what? As an old person, I need a time, and I need a network, and I'll give it try. And, as i posted on my Profile, Game of Thrones? I am just the wrong freakin demographic. It's cool that they whacked a main character, tho.

  6. Oh Matt, I do not see any redeeming value of watching Red's games, and I'm from Cincinnati! They are only tolerable if in person w/ the chance to catch a ball. I'm in the same boat with you on Game of Thrones, is it online? Archer is simply amazing, I haven't laughed watching TV in awhile. I don't see what you apparently do in Squid billies though, seems like a stoner show to me... and I like Robot Chicken!

  7. I have FSO HD so Its like I'm in person lol. And the time slot that Squidbillies is on is perfect for the content! I think Game of Thrones is online.

  8. I like how you have Adventure time and Regular show on here, both are pretty hilarious and cartoons but it seems as if more geared for adults, also I think that Star Trek is definitely a good choice. I would agree on Futurama because not only is it funny, but sometimes it makes you think. Also, shows like Teen Mom don't really appeal to me either, it's just something I can't really get into.

  9. I totally agree your comment for my post. As a foreigner, the sitcom cartoons are special and interesting for me. Our country dose not have any this kind of these cartoons at all.These culture based cartoons make me spend more time to understand, so as the comedies. The Family Guy has become boring for me. I still love Simpsons and South Park because their characters are really cute and memorable. I cannot stop watching their funny conversations. I really like some metaphor in them, they are kind of difficult to understand for me but they are really interesting. Archer! That's incredible funny and I also can't stop laughing in every episode that I saw!!

  10. @Jhewitt1391 This man right here. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0224007/
    He's Jake the Dog, and Bender, and for you Xbox fans, He's Marcus Fenix! Fry is also a big voice actor, http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0921942/ , you may recognize him as Doug and Invader Zim! But don't get me started on the amazing talent(Archer has some superb voice actors)

    @Yingqi Zheng I would highly recommend watching some Futurama, new season starts tonight at 10 on comedy central. A lot of the charm of Futurama comes from the style of using satire on current issues from the perspective of the show, the year 3011. So they poke fun at current issues such as Global Warming, Unhealthy Diets, Waste Management and if they have celebrities they almost always get the actual celebrity. One of my favorite episodes is a spoof of Star Trek and not only does it pay wonderful homage to Star Trek, but they got William Shatner, George Tekai, Leonard Nemoy, Walter Koeing, Nichelle Nichols, and even Jonathon Frakes(but he's Next Gen). The show really goes above and beyond to give the best quality to their fans. If you want a taste of the series I'd recommend the first movie, Bender's Big Score. When it was made, it was right after the show was cancelled and brought back so there are numerous references to the idiots at the "Box" Corporation.
