Comic Con Is Going Virtual This Year, Will Still Have Plenty of Comedy Panels, and Will Be Free

Something the size of world famous, annual San Diego Comic-Con obviously isn’t going to happen this year due to the pandemic. However, rather than just outright postponing, Comic-Con is going to try for virtual editions of their renowned panels that reveal insider info and details from creators and talent of movies, TV, comic-books, etc.

They’re calling it Comic-Con@Home and it’ll stream from Jul. 22nd-26th and, best of all, it’ll be free (or maybe not waiting to get into Hall H is better?). This virtual edition of SDCC will include panel discussion from What We Do In the Shadows, Bob’s Burgers, The Simpsons, Solar Opposites, Robot Chicken, Archer, Crossing Swords, Duncanville, Upload, The Boys, Superstore, Adventure Time, Infinity Train, Phineas and Ferb, Bless the Harts, American Dad!, Family Guy, Looney Tunes, and Bill & Ted Face the Music.

Look through the entire Comic-Con@Home schedule and get details on how to stream all of these events here.

‘Archer: 1999’ to Get Aftershow ‘Archer After Hours’ on FXx

‘Archer: 1999’ to Get Aftershow ‘Archer After Hours’ on FXx

The aftershow trend is still sticking around.

Archer: 1999 will be getting a companion aftershow at FXx called Archer After Hours to be hosted by cast members Amber Nash and Lucky Yates. For Archer’s longevity and rabid fan base, this makes a certain sense, but we’ll be curious to see how this plays out (and if this means that Archer will have more cliffhangers to drive the after show conversation).

What’s curious here is that this is, to our knowledge, the second network aftershow show for a comedy series. For a brief window of time, Rick and Morty had a live aftershow when Starburns Castle existed (RIP). It was pretty grand as they interviewed the writers in front of a live audience that got to watch the episode right before the aftershow taping. 

If Archer After Hours does well enough, we’ll be curious to see if other series will make the jump (maybe The Simpsons, Barry, or maybe another Rick and Morty aftershow)

Season 8 of Archer/Archer Dreamland Premieres Tonight

Tonight, the 8th season of Archer will transport you to LA in 1947 with Archer looking for the killer of his partner. 

So, if you’ve wondered what LA Confidential would have been like with H. Jon Benjamin as the lead detective, you can wonder no more. 

Catch the premiere of Archer Dreamland at 10PM on FXx.

‘Archer’ Moving to FXx for Season 8 and Beyond, Sets New Direction for FXx

‘Archer’ Moving to FXx for Season 8 and Beyond, Sets New Direction for FXx

Archer will be moving to FXx where it will hopefully live on successfully like It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has. With it being the 8th season, that’ll probably happen. More interestingly, FX head John Landgraf wants this move to signal a move towards animation for the FXx network. 

Well, after all these years, it would seem that the divide between FX and FXx will come in at being live action (and series that get heavy awards consideration) on FX and animation and more pure comedy on FXx. 

We’ll be curious to see where FX will take this move, especially since adult-skewing animated comedy is more crowded than it has ever been.

Archer and @midnight with Chris Hardwick, Win Interactive Media Emmys

There are so many Emmy categories that some have to be announced on separate days in advance, especially when it comes to new categories like Multiplatform Storytelling or Social TV Experience.

These awards went to Archer and @midnight with Chris Hardwick respectively and are the signs of the Emmy Awards acknowledging the changing landscape of television.

It makes you wonder when, not if, will The Streamys and Primetime Emmys have a bunch of crossover.

Adam Reed’s having a good day.

Not only will Archer creator Adam Reed’s beloved espionage comedy Archer get three more seasons, putting them at 10 total, Reed has also gotten an overall deal to develop and produce other projects at FX. 

So, even if Archer might come to an end before the end of 2020, you can bet that Reed will probably have something as offbeat and fun on either FX or FXx to take its place.

H. Jon Benjamin is always full of surprises.

When on Conan this week, he revealed why he was nervous that he would have to trot out a British accent for an audition and a particular list of a certain type of bear that he’s proud to be on .

Perhaps, one day, some online streaming service will smartly revive Jon Benjamin Has a Van.

Archer Officially Dropping “ISIS” Name of Fictional Spy Agency

(via The Daily Beast)

With the rise of ISIS in the Middle East, you might have noticed that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria share the same letters in their acronym with the International Secret Intelligence Service, the fictitious spy agency depicted on animated series Archer.

As the atrocities of the real life ISIS tally up more and more every day, Archer’s showrunner Adam Reed and producers have decided to get rid the name in the show. There’s no word on what will replace it, but there won’t be any addressing it other than the removal of their ISIS logo. 

Perhaps, Federation of United Bureaus Agency Reconnaissance or FUBAR could be a fun one?

Archer Getting Two More Seasons at FXx

With how tight networks keep their leashes on their shows, it’s surprising to hear that a show will even get renewed much less get an order for two seasons.

That’s how good Archer on FXx is and hopefully they’ll make it to double digit season territory not too far from now.

Mark an hour block starting at 10PM tonight to watch FXx because they have the season premiere of Archer at 10PM and the highly anticipated series premiere of Chozen where Bobby Moynihan indeeds voices a rapper at 10:30PM.

It’s FXx very own animated block and it looks pretty good right now.
