Home Entertainment Review: Archer: Danger Island (Fox)

So, when I first saw Archer tv commercial I thought no way am I going to watch that show.  And now after watching season 9, I want to see all the other episodes.

no images were found

In the DVD it has 2 extras in it.  The title for this season is called Archer:  Danger Island.  Archer: Danger Island is about an alcoholic seaplane pilot, Sterling Archer working on a lush South Pacific island of Mitimotu in 1939.
