FX has picked up its animated comedy "Archer" for a second season following decent ratings for the show's first go-round.The second season of the show, about the petty squabbles in the office of an international spy agency, will premiere in 2011. FX wants 13 episodes, up from 10 this season.
The show hasn't drawn big ratings -- it's averaging a little more than 1.2 million viewers per week. But that falls in line with the cable channel's other recent comedy launch, "The League" (1.3 million average in the fall) and is better than the first season of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," which grew in later seasons as more people discovered it.
FX has one other new comedy on tap for later this year: "Louie," starring comedian Louis C.K., will premiere in June (it was recently moved back from a spring premiere). "The League" is also set for its second season in the summer.

Its a decent show. It has grown on me. Not omg funny but it has its moments.
This is fantastic news!
"Danger Zone!" ;)
Decent ratings? a .4 in 18-49 is decent?
This show is funnier than NBC's entire Thursday night comedy lineup. This is great news to the best (voice) ensemble on Thursday night.
This show is awesome. Most people that I know that don't like this show are too dumb to understand the quick wit and obscure references. Freaking hilarious.
Wonder if they have been keeping track of the Hulu following of this show. That is where I found it and got hooked.
2011??!?!?
While I'm pleased it hasn't been canceled, I don't see ANYTHING on TV these days as great as this show. Why wait?!?
this is the best animated show on tv right now, hopefully the seasons will get longer as the show goes on tho
Awesome just awesome I laugh my *** off. told coworkers, now there hooked!
This show is brilliant. I'm sorry we'll have to wait until next year for new episodes.
