'Archer' Season One Coming on DVD December 28.



The first season of the animated series spy spoof Archer arrives on DVD December 28 from  Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment on December 28, 2010.  
Archer: Season 1The FX original half-hour comedy cartoon premiered January 14 and has been criticially acclaimed for its wit and wry humor as it plays on spy themes from James Bond in the '60s to Alias in this decade.  
The show takes place at the International Secret Intelligence Service (ISIS), where agents messing with each other comes before taking on other spies and global turmoil, though they manage to do that, too. It's cheeky and filled with deadpan deliveries. DVD extras including un-aired Archer pilot, “Making Of” production shorts, and deleted scenes.
The series features the voices of H. Jon Benjamin (Family Guy) as debonair master spy “Sterling Archer,” whose code name is “Duchess”; Jessica Walter (Arrested Development) as his domineering mother and boss, “Malory Archer”; Aisha Tyler (24, Friends) as his ex-girlfriend, “Agent Lana Kane”; George Coe as his aging-but-loyal butler, “Woodhouse”; Chris Parnell (30 Rock, SNL) as ISIS comptroller and Lana’s new love interest, “Cyril Figgis”; Judy Greer (27 Dresses, Marmaduke) as Malory’s lovesick secretary, “Cheryl”; and Amber Nash as “Pam,” the director of human resources for ISIS. Archer was created by Adam Reed and Floyd County Productions; the executive producers are Reed and Matthew Thompson.
