The moment you fell in love with the show

I remember mine quite well.

As a long time Sealab and Frisky Dingo fan, naturally I immediately jumped onto Archer. The pilot was fantastic but it there was almost too much to take in. Lucille and Kitty from Arrested Development, Sterling was clearly the new Xander Crews-type, Chris Parnell who I'd loved from SNL & 30 rock for years and even Valarie was Pam! Loved 'Stir Friday', and picked up on the 'ants' running/crossover gag from Frisky, but too many new characters and things to pay attention to.

Second episode, equally fantastic. But the moment I fell in love with the show was late in the episode when the *beep* hits the fan (Cyril inadvertently poisons Tranette etc.) and Archer says something along the lines of "honestly...I wouldn't say I'm a happy person..."

Ahhh just the delivery and the way he looked down and ughhhhh it was just perfect!

Do you remember yours?

Enjoyed it from the beginning but felt it could surpass Frisky Dingo somewhere between "Nice read Velma" and "'M' as in Mancy".

As soon as I was watching the 'pilot' episode after Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia. My DVR had recorded IASIP for an hour even though it was a 1/2 hour show. It wasn't even listed in the guide. It was like a secret pilot.
Then I had to wait months for the show to actually start. Torture.

I became a fan pretty quickly. Think I started watching when it was in its fourth season. Caught a few eps on tv, really liked 'em, and ended up binging the show on Netflix or something. Good times

I was really enjoying the first season in general, but Honeypot did it for me. Everything on that episode was pure gold, still one of my favorites to this day.

This dream is short, but this dream is happy.

Middle of the first season.
When their all supposed to be working, but build forts, and get wasted instead.

I can't put my finger on it as it happened rather slower than most here.

My roommate started watching it while I was trying to get some work done on my computer in the other room. I couldn't believe the nasty dialog coming across the hall.

It was really distracting me so after a few episodes I wandered over to tell him to turn the damned TV down and instead stayed to watch it. It grew on me over a short time. I guess the words make more sense when combined with the pictures.
