Sure, one could easily dismiss "Archer" as being nothing more than trite, immature rubbish that doesn't even deserve the slightest bit of notice - But, with that said, I found that, throughout all of its non-stop bickering, bitching and back-stabbing, this rather peculiar TV show actually did contain a semblance of what I'd call "entertainment value"._____ Though far from being considered in any way "intellectual" viewing, "Archer" (with its hit'n'miss humor, its gory violence, its sexual innuendo, and its numerous pop culture references) was, in a sense, so bad that it was actually good._____ Presented as something of a "James Bond" parody, with plenty of "Get Smart"-type shenanigans thrown in for good measure, this animated TV series stars character Sterling Archer, a handsome, shallow, self-loving secret agent from ISIS who, in all of his incompetent bungling, loves to whine and point fingers whenever an all-important assignment gets royally buggered up (which happens more often than you'd think)._____ From its so-so animation, to its racist/sexist slurs, to its often predictable story-lines, "Archer" certainly had a strangely addictive allure to it which kept this viewer here watching all 10 of its wacky episodes with an amused and rapt attention.
