    It is a shame they aren't all up. I'd really like to have various episodes up as background noise.

    Holy shit at this line.

    So I'm completely caught up- I can't believe there has been a viewer drop off on this show.

    Any word one when they should get the rest of the episodes? If they're going to be 4 or so weeks behind the actual show they might be shooting themselves in the foot- especially with the drop off that is already happening.

    Does FX re-air the show throughout the week like many other cable channels? That could be the reason. Maybe they make more ad revenue from re-airings on their network than they would on hulu.

    This really is a great show. I really hope it gets at least a second season. I can't help but think that a lot of the drop off could have been avoided if FX had decided to air the show along with It's Always Sunny. I'm pretty sure they didn't premier Archer until the last ep of Sunny, and that was just a bad move.

    They also placed Archer up against new episodes of Burn Notice.

    Yes they do, I have my DVR set to record the show every time it airs (but only keeping one in memory at a time) since it doesn't always mark new episodes as such. And it records about once a day during the week.

    It's also up against new episodes of Project Runway.

    Which, um, may not be an issue outside of the very specific demographic that is my apartment.

    But yeah, I've missed at least a few Archer episodes because, damn it, Thursday is Burn Notice/Project Runway night.

    I suppose that makes some sense, I didn't realize Archer was on almost everyday or else I would have got caught up a long time ago.

    Still, I hope they aren't going to keep Hulu too far behind because I wan't my viewings of the show to count for something.

    There's a lot of jokes that build though through the episodes.

    Such as the "ping pong paddle" reference right in front of the french air hostess who we last saw with a nice paddle shapped red mark in the pilot.

    The Airhostest joke in particular you wouldn't get unless you had seen the pilot episode.

    This show has SLIGHT continuity. Definitely not like Arrested Development where you definitely for the 3rd season needed to know what was going on in 1 and 2. There are jokes that you'd get from watching previously - "That is so classic her. . ." - but if you can't cherry pick an episode and laugh, there is something awful wrong. ANY of the shows serve as an excellent introduction to the show - all you need to know is Lana dated Archer, Mallory is Archers mom, Cyril is dating Lana and. . .that's about it.
