Hello, TheTalkingBox Readers! We're thinking of adding Archer to our lineup. This is our first review of it, and if enjoyed, we'll keep it up. Let us know what you think!
[Note: This show is rated MA, and may be reviewed in a similar style.]
Archer "The Man from Jupiter" (S03E04): In a rare twist, this episode opens with Archer striking out with the 'not pretty chick' and getting beat up by Burt Reynolds [playing himself by the way...]. After kissing up as hard as possible to Mr. Reynolds, Archer's mother shows up as his date.
Day drinking in the ISIS office, Archer and mom argue about Burt Reynolds and sex. Apparently, Archer has an issue with his mom being with his childhood idol. [For some reason, all the ISIS employees have box-shaped computers with a red enter key and phones built into them?] They can still look up Burt Reynolds' pictures apparently...
Cyril bugs Archer as Lana teases Archer about the Cuban hit squad currently after him. She suggests he go to the safe house for while, but Archer refuses, convinced that it's a ploy to get him out of the way while mom bangs his man-crush. So, as a solution, Archer sends a card to his mom from Burt Reynolds, breaking it off while he kidnaps him.

As Burt Reynolds' driving terrifies Archer chasing the Cubans chasing the ISIS team, he crashes a bunch of cop cars, goes on two wheels through an alley, and then tricks the Cubans into shooting each other. As a final act of personifying heroism, he saves the ISIS team from crashing, then heads off to take Archer's mom on their date.
Why do the only disturbing comments come from Pam nowadays?
Memorable Lines from the Episode:
Pam: "You could drown a toddler in my panties right now."
Burt to Archer: "You should get a bat pole." "Yep, $9000."
