According to Archer

Accord (noun): to be in agreement or harmony or (transitive verb): to cause to conform or agree; bring into harmony.

I think we can all agree that this world is missing an adult comedic cartoon about a spoiled but well trained spy working for his mom.  Good news everyone!  You should immediately add Archer to your DVR timers.  Go ahead, I'll wait.

[Sound of Muzak, possibly The Greatest Love of All.]


On you're not convinced yet?  It is a cartoon with voices of Aisha Tyler (Friends, 24, CSI), Chris Parnell (SNL and 30 Rock's Dr. Spaceman) and Jessica Walters (Arrested Development much?)  Also check out these quotes I personally selected for your reading pleasure:
"So will I learn karate?"
"Karate?  The Dane Cook of martial arts? No, ISIS agents use Krav Maga."
"Krav...?"
"We have an ex-Mossad agent, he comes in on Thursdays.  Tuesdays he does a really rigorous spin class."
 And my personal favorite:
"Ironic isn't it?"
"I'm not sure that's technically irony."
"Whaaat?  This is like O. Henry and Alanis Morissette had a baby and named it this exact situation!"
And then later,
"Oh, and Archer, how's this for ironic?"
"Well, you know what?  I don't have a one to some-other-number of douche bag scale. So, six?"
Just try it once, you'll be hooked.

When you work with your ex and your mom 
It can be hard to reach an accord.
But Archer knows how to keep his calm
One episode - you'll be on board.
