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.

It follows the hijinks of a superhero and a supervillian.

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.

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:
