Archer is an American animated television series created
by Adam Reed for the FX network. A preview of the series aired on
September 17, 2009. The first season premiered on January 14, 2010. The
show carries a TV-MA-LSV rating.
Inspiration behind Archer came
to Reed while in a cafe in Salamanca, Spain. Finding himself unable to
approach a beautiful woman seated nearby, Reed conjured up the idea of a
spy who "would have a perfect line". Reed conceived the show's concept
while walking along the Vía de la Plata in 2008. He pitched his idea to
the FX Network, which accepted it and ordered six episodes, along with
an additional four scripts. The show ended its first season on March 18,
2010, and the second season premiered on January 27, 2011. The season 1
DVD was released in Region 1 on December 28, 2010. On December 17, 2010
the first season of Archer also aired in Germany on Comedy Central
Germany. On March 29, 2011 it was announced that FX Network had ordered a
16-episode third season of Archer,. A three episode special dubbed "The
Heart of Archness" was aired in September 2011. New episodes from
season 3 began airing on January 19, 2012.
Set at the
International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS) in New York City, suave
but incredibly self-centered master spy Sterling Archer deals with
global espionage; his domineering, hypersexual mother/boss, Malory
Archer; his ex-girlfriend (and fellow ISIS agent), Lana Kane; her ISIS
accountant boyfriend (later ex) Cyril Figgis; and a less-than-masculine
code name, "Duchess".
The show has an unusual style and ambiguous
time setting, in which technologies/clothing styles and historical
backdrops of different decades coincide. The characters wear 1960s
clothing and hair styles and several episodes feature references to the
Soviet Union as a current nation and to Fidel Castro as the current
leader of Cuba. The technological sophistication within the series
varies, with characters using computers that are dated (e.g.
reel-to-reel mainframe systems, dot-matrix printers and punchcards), but
also cell phones, GPS devices, and laser gunsights. In addition, modern
day insults are prevalent (such as "suck it", "screw you", and "douche
bag"). Adam Reed was asked about the conflicting style, and concluded,
"I just think it's ill-defined."
Each episode of Archer takes a
couple of months to produce following the completion of the script. The
show is mostly animated by Reed's Floyd County Productions in Atlanta,
Georgia,[10] while 3D background models are made by Trinity Animation in
Kansas City, Missouri.[11] Originally, Radical Axis housed the show's
animation staff for Season 1, but the crew has since moved to their own
facilities close to Emory University.
The artistic style of the
series was designed to be as realistic as possible, so the character
designers used as much reference material as they could. The character
drawings are based on Atlanta-area models; they coincidentally resemble
some of the voice actors in the series. As Chad Hurd, the lead character
designer for the series, noted, the end result resembles "a 1960's
comic book come to life." Television critics have also compared the
show's overall visual style to that of the drama series Mad Men, as well
as noting that lead character Sterling Archer, in particular, bears a
substantial resemblance to Mad Men's protagonist Don Draper. The artwork
is also similar to the original "Jonny Quest" cartoon series penned by
artist Doug Wildey in the 1960s.
