The Kanes

This episode had me laughing out loud from start to finish. Like a bolt from the blue we suddenly landed back in classic Archer territory with hilarity in every scene.

Sure the,the episode begins with a steady feel but it really takes off when we get to the 'hot tub' scene. From here on the episode races at full speed and doesn't stop until the credits roll.

What can I say, the best episode of the season so far!

Getting right down to it, it might be because there's been something "off" about the sixth season - not that I'm griping, even inferior "Archer" is still the best thing on TV - but 'The Kanes' seemed to really come from out of nowhere and just sort of explode. It's your basic meet-the-parents plot (sort of) with Sterling trying to behave himself in front of Lana's parents, but the humor's pitch-perfect, and the casting is even better. Who'd they get to play Lemuel Kane? Keith David. That guy was born to play this! He's got the scary father-in-law thing sewn up tight. You simply can't beat that casting, and he had me in a fit of laughter the entire time.

To sweeten that deal, the "Bullitt" Mustang shows up for a balls-out car chase (complete with Sterling in a fit after getting shot at: "This is an American icon!") and Pam gets to school some homies on gangsta etiquette. And after all is said and done, Christian Slater's the one causing all the trouble.

I mean, this thing's a winner; there's no better way to put it.
