Archer Season 3

Already one of the funniest series on television, animated or not, this hilarious spy spoof turned the laughter up to 11 for season three with the single best guest appearance imaginable – Burt Reynolds. In the episode titled The Man from Jupiter, Burt plays himself and does it with style. The humor comes from the reaction the rest of the cast have from having Burt in their lives. Archer, who has been a fan of Burt since he was a child, is beside himself with joy, or he would be if his hero wasn’t sleeping with his mom. The rest of their cast all have their own reasons for living Burt, especially Pam, who delivers one of the funniest lines imaginable (it can’t be reprinted, but you will never forget  it). The rest of the series is good, too; the episodes where Archer gets to live out his dream of having a chase on top of a speeding train is kind of brilliant. Few series get better with age, but Archer is that rare exception that gets better – and funnier – with each episode.
