Just saw a promo for a new animated show that's starting later tonight on FX, where the primary voice is provided by our old pal H. Jon Benjamin.
Promo looked funny enough, may be worth a shot?

They showed a preview episode of this a few months ago and it may have been the funniest TV show that Jon Benjamin has ever been involved with. I know that's a bold statement but check it out tonight and see.

I saw that preview episode and wasn't too impressed but I'm going to give it a shot because they've got some great voice talent for it.

Scratchbomb suggested on twitter and I gave it a shot and like it. It's no Home Movies, but it's good.
I love hearing Benjamin talk, when watching Human Giant with my exgirlfriend I shouted "Coach McGirk" during the to catch a predator clip. She thought I was insane. Maybe that is why we broke up? Because I can't watch anything without pointing out other things the actors have been in.

Anything with that voice - I'm in.

looks like the same art style as Frisky Dingo
omg that show was so good
-
And Archer is Xander
Cruise Crews.

Yeah, Adam Reed (Frisky Dingo, Sealab 2021) is the creator of the show.
I watched both episodes that aired last night (in glorious HD!) and enjoyed myself. The first episode started off a little week, but part with the hooker had me laughing. The second episode, the one concernting Archer's expense account, was better though.
So I guess I'm on board for now. Great cast too.

That sounds a lot like the sneak preview episode they showed in the fall.

It may be. I didn't see the preview episode. It had a great "just the tip" joke that had me cracking up for a long time.

The first episode was a bit weak, but the expense report one brought some more hearty laffs from me, especially with that joke.

The 2nd ep. was the fall preview ep. and the funnier of the two.

I'll have to see more episodes but you may be right this could be better than Frisky Dingo.

I knew I left something off of my DVR. Will be resolved post haste.

I'm loving this show.
-
Probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do was to try and explain Frisky Dingo's plot to a friend.
-
The episode with Conway Stern had me laughing out loud the whole way through.
-
the ratings are nosediving
hopefully fx doesn't cancel this

Never seen Frisky Dingo.
What's the plot?
-
It follows the hijinks of a superhero and a supervillian.
boosh

Yeah, I'm totally on board now. I really like Judy Greer's character.

Is she the dumb receptionist? If so, I agree. The "just the tip" bit was hilarious.

Yes, the receptionist who changes her name every episode. Her seduction of Conway with the shrimp was great.

Yeah and her pregnancy test that was just a marker with a dot taped to it, too funny.

I watched the first episode of this. It seemed like it borrowed a lot of the character dynamics and sense of humor from Eastbound and Down. Archer being very Kenny Powers-esque, with his ex and her wimpy new boyfriend who he's really mean to and happens to be his boss. Lots of suprisingly dirty stuff for a show on cable, too. I'm not ready to give up on it... but I'm not impressed so far...

three episodes are now up on Hulu. If its ratings don't improve it'll be canceled, so tell your friends. Tweet it, email it, facebook it, whatever. Jon Benjamin deserves a steady gig, people.
-
Yeah, I was laughing pretty hard at this show. I hope it sticks around.
-
I guess I spoke too soon. FX just ordered another season. You're pretty awesome, FX.
-
That's great news! I love this show. When Archer went "I would prefer not to", it got me laughing so hard, I had to hit the pause button.
His twitter feed is hilarious too. Case in point:
Tapioca pudding. Con: insane amount of carbs and sugars. Pro: tastes like you're going down on an angel.
