ARCHER (from the guys who brought you FRISKY DINGO)
The geniuses behind Frisky Dingo are launching a new animated series and Archer is its name! Foregoing the world of "superheroes & villains" (I use quotes because Frisky Dingo's Killface was about as much of a villain, as well those workers at Kinko's who lounge round not doing anything while you wait endless hours to be helped. I'm not going to even comment on the heroic qualities of Xander Crews and the X-tacles.) for the world of super spies, the creators have come up with a series described by network FX as: "Archer is an animated, half-hour comedy set at the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS), a spy agency where espionage and global crises are merely opportunities for its highly trained employees to confuse, undermine, betray and royally screw each other."
Cast includes the voices of H. Jon Benjamin as suave master spy "Sterling Archer," whose less-than-masculine code name is "Duchess"; Jessica Walter as his domineering mother and boss, "Malory"; Aisha Tyler as his ex-girlfriend, "Agent Lana Kane"; George Coe as his aging-but-loyal butler, "Woodhouse"; Chris Parnell as ISIS comptroller and Lana's new love interest, "Cyril Figgis"; and Judy Greer as Malory's lovesick secretary, "Cheryl."
Although the pilot premiered after last week's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the show doesn't officially launch until January, 2010. In the meantime here's a promo:
