ARCHER renewed for Season 2!!

FX's fan-favorite secret agent "ARCHER" series has been renewed for a Season 2!! This is great news as Archer offers something different in the realm of over saturated Seth McFarlene fare. Archer as an animated sitcom is clever, funny, sexy, unique, & offers a great & quirky voice cast (Judy Greer as Cheryl anyone? She's the best!). If you haven't seen this show yet, it's on FX @ 10:00pm, & you owe it to yourself, as it doesn't play by the rules, bloody fights, the s-word & female bare bottoms are always welcomed lol!! I saw this show pack when it premiered with a pilot earlier in 2009, & was glad to see it become a series of 10 eps in 2010. Like "Archer" & "Producing Parker", I hope to see more animated adult sitcoms continue the trend that we saw in 2009 with being as bold & inventive as the 2 aforementioned shows.
Here's the official write up:

LOS ANGELES, February 22, 2010 – FX has given the go ahead for a second season of its critically acclaimed animated series Archer, announced Nick Grad, Executive Vice President of Original Programming, FX Networks. The network increased the episode order to 13 for season two, which is scheduled to debut in 2011.

Archer (TV-MA) has three new episodes slated for air this season. Through seven episodes the series is averaging 1.2 million Total Viewers, 853,000 Adults 18-49 and 573,000 Adults 18-34. This Thursday, February 25, FX will air the “Four-Play Marathon,” four episodes of Archer from 10-midnight. Archer will return with new episodes on Thursday, March 4 at 10 PM and the season-one finale airs on March 18.

“Executive Producers Adam Reed and Matt Thompson are delivering a hilarious series and it truly earned a second season,” said Grad. “H. Jon Benjamin, Aisha Tyler, Jessica Walter, Chris Parnell and Judy Greer comprise one of the best voice casts of any animated series on TV. We’re very happy with the audience response and critical acclaim for Archer and are excited to move forward with it.”

Archer was created by Adam Reed and Floyd County Productions and is executive produced by Reed and Matthew Thompson. The show is produced by FX Productions. FX ordered 10 episodes for its first season.

“We are incredibly excited about the opportunity to make a second season of Archer,” said Reed, “and grateful that FX has enough faith in the show to allow it to build an audience. Excelsior!”

Karate Kid 80's Saturday Morning Toon coming to itunes!!

Sony is going to release the complete series of the short-lived 80's Saturday Morning animated series "The Karate Kid" on 5/4/2010 on itunes & amazon.
* Response has been good & fans are hoping for a follow up on DVD...



The cartoon had good animation, a memorable theme from animation composer extraordinaire Shuki Levy, & a less memorable flub when the network aired episode 1 again in week 3, probably sinking most interest in the series for kids, "2 weeks & a repeat already? Let's watch The Real Ghostbusters instead!!' Lol

Famous quotes: ARCEE

I've always found Floro Dery (the Filipino character designer for the Transformers G1 animated series & '86 movie) very interesting, as not only was he a huge inspiration for me growing up as an artist, but also because he's a bit sarcastic, & his unique view on his own art & it's glory is always great reading material... see below...lol

from TransformersPH (interview 2007):
TFPH : Do you have any backside story or trivia behind the character of : Arcee?

Floro Dery (character designer for Transformers G1 cartoon & movie): "Arcee is the naked mechanical equivalent of Princess Leia of Star Wars."
