Trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js6XbWPEL8A

Its from the Archer people so I'll give it a shot. Nick Swardson doesn't make me feel hopeful though. hes no stranger to the gay joke so maybe they hired him for that specialty.

More Hannibal is always a good thing.

Divius · Nov 21, 2013

You had me at Archer.

Didn't know this was coming; will check it out, thanks for the heads up

Hawkian · Nov 21, 2013

...Method Man? Sold I guess.

RatskyWatsky · Nov 21, 2013

The gay-ization of TV continues!

This one is going to get a lot of mileage.

kulapik · Nov 21, 2013

This is for FX or FXX?

Originally scheduled for FXX, it's since been moved to FX.

It's mean to hold his utter lack of talent against him.

haha, when I worked nights at a bookstore doing restock, my manager would put this on speaker. I had to listen to his standup constantly (unless i brought my own ipod). I'm not sure which popular modern comic sucks more, Swardson or Dane Cook.

His appearance on the Norm Show is the only redeeming thing he's ever done, but then only because his giggling brings out the best in Norm's deadpan.

The creators of Eastbound and Down are also involved with this

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/danny-mcbride-produced-animated-comedy-563692

Danny McBride, Jody Hill and David Gordon Green of Rough House Pictures -- the team behind HBO's Eastbound & Down -- will exec produce along with Adam Reed and Matt Thompson of Floyd County Productions (Archer), who will animate the series. The characters in the FX Productions effort will be voiced by Saturday Night Live's Moynihan, Michael Pena, Hannibal Buress, Kathryn Hahn, Nick Swardson, Method Man, Dekernion and McBride.

That "Sex & Murda" song they've got in one of the TV spots has been stuck in my head for a good week+ now.

BertramCooper · Nov 22, 2013

So how involved is Adam Reed in the production of this?

I know he's an E.P. and that his studio is animating it, but is he playing much of a creative role in it?

Gentleman Jack · Nov 22, 2013

Is Bobby Moynihan funny? Because I've never seen a thing with him in it. 'The creators of Archer' don't mean shit when it's the actors of Archer that are the real backbone of that show.

Time Bobby

Time Bobby 2

I was never much of a fan of Moynihan on SNL, but his appearances on Comedy Bang Bang have completely changed my opinion of him.

waypoetic · Nov 22, 2013

Well that wasn't funny at all.

Plywood · Nov 22, 2013

Hmmm... nah.

The short answer is he's not directly writing it.

-Deimos · Nov 22, 2013

Looks way below Archer quality.

That's what I expected, and honestly, that's what I'd prefer.

He pretty much writes Archer single-handedly, so I don't really want him distracted with other stuff because Archer is so goddamned good.

That makes me understand the purpose of FXX even less.

It's okay, it would have gotten in the way of The Simpsons.

Outdoor Miner · Jan 15, 2014

Kinda surprised to find zero discussion about the premiere episode. I found it pretty funny and laughed out loud a few times. I'll stay tuned for now.

Starviper · Jan 15, 2014

Mmmm... Seems alright. I'll wait to hear more after the first episode is out.

Sir Abacus · Jan 16, 2014

Holy shit.

When he started to fake saxophone, air hump a butt and hum the Sanford and Son theme I just lost it

PaulExcellent · Jan 16, 2014

The first episode was fantastic. I loved the song from it. Very well done. This is one of the few shows I'll actually follow every week if the music stays that good.

Slayven · Feb 7, 2014

This show is god tier.

DominoKid · Feb 9, 2014

First ep is pretty fuckin funny.

XANDER CAGE · Feb 9, 2014

Will check out the episode since I love Archer and I love hip hop, so a mix of the two should be perfect.

Not really feeling the trailer, though, considering it's basically three poorly delivered prison rape jokes and some gay panic, which also seems a little out of touch since gay rappers isn't exactly unheard of.

Slayven · Mar 5, 2014

This shit is great. Don't know why folks hating on it.

RoboPlato · Mar 5, 2014

First couple episodes were kind of rocky but I'm enjoying it now that it's found its groove.

SteveWinwood · Mar 5, 2014

from the creators of sealab and frisky dingo you mean

The Smoking Bun · Mar 5, 2014

Why do these American animated [And adult oriented] shows always have such lame/limited animation style? Stuff like old school CN becoming the exception
Can we have another Last Air-bender/Korra please? Although that is Canadian.

I mean people lose their shit over anime with your Titans Attacking Walls and Notes of Death but no one tries to ape the styles?

friskykillface · Mar 5, 2014

I'm a fan of the show, but it had 1/2 struggling episodes but i still watch

forgot to watch it on monday though but hopefully it gets a full season and maybe a second season

Cause they don't need it, and the cost isn't worth it. Anime has $190 dvd sets and $78 figurines to supplement the cost. Even still the animation drops off quick.

That shit is crazy expensive.

Plus I really like this style even though it's changed a lot, it was literally made out of reedited really old cartoons when they started. The limited pre canned animations out of characters walking around backgrounds is super super cheap and easy to do especially when the first season of sealab was like 4 people doing it.

if you want to know about the animation style watch this : http://video.adultswim.com/sealab-2021/animation-process.html

The show just started. If it's successful it will get a bigger budget. Compare Archer Season 1 with the most recent seasons, the difference is night and day.

okayfrog · Mar 5, 2014

I watched the first three or so episodes and maybe got one laugh, a couple smiles, not much. I feel like it would be much better as a live action series.

arab · Mar 11, 2014

ok i gave this a shot after a dismal archer season. i'm impressed, will be coming back to this show

Alric · Apr 1, 2014

Really liked the first season a lot. Laughed way more than in Archer. Doubt it'll get picked up for another season which is a shame.

N7Commander95 · Apr 1, 2014

Had a rocky start but loving it now. How Gary got his groove back was hilarious

FX has cancelled Chozen.

FUCK. that sucks. Chozen was pretty much the best thing on TV. Sooooo much better than the last season of Archer :barf:

Thought that was going to happen. I could have sworn that the show was going to have 13 episodes like Archer, but then it was turned to 10.

Lame.
