Archer PI

Archer Season 7 has finally been announced!  And in the same vein as Season 5, also known as “Archer Vice”, this one will be modeled after another classic TV series.  Take a look:

Looks awesome right?   The trailer is actually a shot-for-shot remake of the old Magnum PI intro; you can see them side by side here.  We knew Archer and the gang had to pick up yet another new profession after last season.  Personally I was expecting something along the lines of freelance mercenaries; they’ve always worked for the highest bidder before so it would make perfect sense.  I’m excited though, I can’t wait to see what Adam Reed does with it.

Just a couple of details about the show that have been released.  It will take place in LA, Hollywood specifically, where the ISIS gang has started their own Private Detective Agency.  And this in interesting: the new apparent leader of the group is Cyril, because as a lawyer he is the only one legally qualified to run the agency.  Can’t wait to see how that plays out.  A list of guest stars includes but isn’t limited to: Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele), J.K Simmons (Law & Order, Bojack Horseman), Patton Oswald (various), Christian Slater (reprising his role as Slater), Jon Daly (Kroll Show), Jon Glaser (Delocated, Conan), John O’ Hurley (Family Feud) and Dave Willis (reprising his role as Barry).  Apparently the show will have a whole new look too, a more California-style look, whatever that means.  And lastly, there will be some kind of ‘big secret’ hanging over the group’s head for the entire season.  That’s a lot of down-home Archery goodness right there.  Complete with a Seleckian-mustache.

So tell us what you think.  I know I am excited; Archer is one of my favorite shows and I know Adam Reed is capable of blowing us all away.  So make sure to toon in on March 31st on FX.
