Currently working my way through Archer after bailing during Season 4 a literal decade ago. It's unfortunate to see I bounced JUST before the writers started upping their game and investing in character work, but at least it means I have ten seasons of increasingly good animation and plots to enjoy over the next few weeks!
I'm also revisiting Ugly Americans and getting mad at its cancellation all over again. It looked so distinct, the writing was solid, and the voice actors were just the right mix of quality but also low-cost that Comedy Central could've kept renewing it indefinitely and made a profit. Instead they forced the studio to find funding independent of Comedy Central and here we are: two excellent seasons of animation and a twin-stick shooter that's now technically lost media because you can't legally acquire it anymore.
