'''''Archer''''' is thea most recent2009 brainchild from Adam Reed, the creator of ''[[Sealab 2021]]'' and ''[[Frisky Dingo]]''. Although it looks like it would be right at home on [[Adult Swim]] (who were nice enough to plug it in one of their bumps), it was passed over and found a home on the FX network instead. The series started in September 2009 and is still ongoing (as of 2023).
 
The focus is on titular protagonist Sterling Archer, an agent for the free-market spy agency known as ISIS, and his random misadventures both in and outside of the office walls. As competent as he is, the double edged sword is that he's a [[Jerkass]], usually oblivious to everything except himself, and as crude as they come.
 
[[Word of God]] aptly describes the show as "''[[James Bond]]'' [[X Meets Y|meets]] ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]''". The show's humor, much like both ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'' and its [[Spiritual Successor|spiritual predecessor]] ''[[Frisky Dingo]]'', relies heavily on [[Call Back|Call Backs]]s and [[Running Gag|Running Gags]]s alongside a large [[Ensemble Cast]] and [[Two Lines, No Waiting]] plots. A fan of ''[[Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'' or ''[[Frisky Dingo]]'' will almost certainly enjoy ''Archer'', and conversely someone who found them repetitive or too low-key probably won't.
 
This series has a [[Archer/Characters|character sheet]], a page listing [[Archer/Extras|tropes found on Archer's Twitter feed]], and a page featuring [[Archer/Interviews|enlightening interviews with the cast and creators]].
