Archer (2009)
TV Show
First aired
A spy cartoon that runs on callbacks. Sterling Archer's ego, Malory's martinis and Cheryl's chaos produce rapid-fire bickering, and the running gags (phrasing, the danger zone, a whole arsenal of obscure references) keep paying off for years. The animation is clean enough that background details reward a second look. It ran for 14 seasons and ended in 2023, but creator Adam Reed stepped back from writing after the tenth, and the early seasons are where the joke rate peaks. Start at season one and ride it as far as the laughs keep up.
