I watched a few minutes of it the other night and even though I had no idea why Archer was at a pool arguing with a black chick that apparently knows him, I laughed anyway. I DVR'd immediately. Where has Archer been all my life?

Hell no, it's not too late.

I first started watching it last summer and I love it.

Reruns are always on and you don't have to watch them in order. Show is brilliant.

Start from the beginning. Archer's humor is like Arrested Development. There are ongoing plots and many jokes you'll only get if you keep watching it . It's joke, built on joke, built on joke.

I'd recommend that you do. you may miss some jokes here and there if you don't.

The two-part cancer episode from Season 2 is hands down, the BEST thing ever put on television.

It really is one of the best written shows ever. A shame it doesn't get a bigger following.

season 1& 2 are on Netflix.

They do pretty well with guest actors. What are our chance at getting Mr. Loggins for an episode. Maybe an episode set on an aircraft carrier.

Yeah they are better to watch in order but not at all necessary if he just wants to catch reruns.

You couldn't be more wrong. Just in the episode he mentioned, you'd have to know:

- who the blonde guy in space was ordering the hit by the KGB

- Why Ray is in a wheelchair

- Why Cyril sucks as an agent

- What's the joke about Carol being rich

- And most importantly, the 3 seasons prior that cover his Oedipus complex.


Not saying you can't enjoy an episode without watching all 3 seasons, but there's so many running jokes, it would make it much better.
