"Archer" review by Suzanne 1/5/15
Season Six Premieres Thursday January 8 on FX

It's always fun to watch this show. I saw the first 6 episodes of the new season and they're as great as ever. If you're a fan of this show, then you'll continue to enjoy it. If you don't like violence, sex, crude or lewd humor, or bad languages, then you shouldn't watch it!

If you've never seen it but you like very silly humor, or you were a fan of "Get Smart", then you should watch it (if you can stand the other stuff). It's fun to watch and always makes me laugh. But then again, I have a kind of sick sense of humor. Not that it's all sick and gross stuff; it's very clever and has great wordplay and many obscure jokes as well as fantastic guest stars.

Because of real-life events, they've dumped the name of their organization "Isis", but now they're working for the CIA, and they were clever about the name change. All of your favorite characters are back, and also Christian Slater as spy Slater. Lana's had her baby. Otherwise, all is about the same.

Check it out!

Many photos and bios
