I liked Frisky Dingo better. It's the same people who made archer except it's a Batman/Bruce Wayne premise instead of 007 style. It's only two seasons, I hated that they stopped making that. That is top 5 for me.

It's definitely up there with the earlier seasons. Swiss Miss and Pirate King episodes are my favorites.

It started out with GOAT potential, but they really should have gone the Venture Brothers route and released seasons based on material instead of year.

As someone above said, it's hard meh after ISIS.

I'd agree that it started fading once they got away from ISIS, I mostly enjoyed the season with them as coke dealers too but really lost interest beyond that.

The first 3 or 4 seasons were incredible and maybe my favorite comedy ever, difficult to judge the series as a whole.

The most recent season was pretty good. Dreamland was extremely meh. I wonder if they plan on ever waking him up from his coma?

I do agree that it hasn’t been as good since they got away from the spy game.

Archer is great. I'd say right around top 5. It's funnier than Futurama imo. Definitely above family guy/the Simpsons when it comes to fitting my sense of humor

This. Early seasons had some absolute gold. Got a bit jumpy after that. Still some good laughs, but too many Amy Schumer jokes.

Skytanic is freaking hilarious. I still laugh when he slaps the guy for smoking everytime even though I have seen it 100 times.

Also I love mole hunt, training day, honeypot, double deuce, stage two, Jeu Monegasque, Fugue and riffs, the wind cries mary, and Coyote Lovely.

But my absolute favorite is placebo effect. "Time to let slip the hogs of war. Its dogs of war. Whatever farm animal of war lana!" Rampage!!!!!!!!lol

He woke up at the end of the season finale as part of a teaser for next season. Looks like next season is ripping on 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Last season was pretty good, albeit, it felt a little shallow, short, and rushed at the end. Vice was the worst. I actually enjoyed the detective season and the movie season.

Archer isn't even Jon Benjamin's best show. That's Home Movies by a wide margin.

Way up there. Some dismiss it because it's animated, but the pre Archer Vice seasons were some of the funniest on television - ever.

Cancer rampage is brilliant television. The whole soft racism during the interrogation of the Irish gangsters, the grenade suppository, the Magnum homage - it was just pitch perfect, every word, every frame.
