Architect of the Emmy-winning FX animated spy series dishes on its highs (Jessica Walter), lows (changing the ISIS name), and everything in between.

Will always love Jessica Walter, especially in Archer and Arrested Development.

"And the Emmy-winning show is ending its 14-season run on Dec. 17 with Archer: Into the Cold, an epic three-part finale set in Rio de Janeiro and Sochi."

Today is it.

TIL they have more Archer episodes after whatever that one is where he went to a castle with vampires and shit.

I hated the coma seasons so much

Archer Vice felt like a fun little sideshow to have the creators just get a break and do whatever. Then it just kept going... And I dropped it lol.

I'm genuinely surprised it didn't get cancelled. Felt like that's what the show runners were trying to do.

Hopefully they just get successful enough to do it like South Park does.

First time around, I did too. Having re-watched them my opinion changed. They're not my favourites by any stretch, but I grew to like them.

Great show, they really brought back the heat with this latest season, so glad it's going out on a high note.

Archer is an easy pick when I’m wanting to watch something, and don’t want to spent time finding something. Sad to see it ending, but in my opinion it has stayed strong throughout its entire run, and all good things must come to an end.

Even the coma seasons are good in my book, hell, the space season is one of my favorites, if not my favorite.

Krieger: "why are you hitting shit?!"

Barry: "because shit is stuck!!"

Without a doubt one of my favorite quotes from the whole series.

Agreed, they changed plenty in the later seasons, but kept the core style and mood throughout.

I recently binged Archer! Can’t wait to watch the finale.
