They had me at "Chekov Gun".
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I missed that one. Does it destroy nuclear wessels?

Other Chekov. I can't remember the line well enough to quote, but it was funny enough that I had to pause while I laughed so I didn't miss anything. A lot of gems in the dialogue is my point, I guess.

H Jon Benjamin is on two channels at the same time. And I have a DVR so I can watch one while I record the other. I'm in comedy heaven!
(the other show is Important Things with Demitri Martin)

I thought that was him! I tried to catch the credits, but they went by too fast.
Archer continues to be hilarious in the most offensive ways possible. And I just realized that Cyril is a dead ringer for Keith Olbermann.

aka, The Man Who Taught Emmett the Meaning of Conundrum.
So we've been watching Archer (at bon's prompting) and we're liking it. ("We" being Emmett and myself.) For me it plays like a cross between Venture Bros. and Sealab. Not as much character depth as VB, but not as whacked out, joke-first as Sealab.
Besides, they had a Zeppelin episode! Excuse me, rigid airship.
For the record now, bon is now two for two on comedy pimpage to me (30 Rock, Archer). Plus she puts together a mean Trip Hop Mix Tape that will immediately transport you back in time into a LFN episode set in Prague in the mid-nineties.
