Archer

The name is Archer... Sterling Archer. He's the suave master spy at the center of FX's animated spy-movie spoof, which just began its second season. Maybe the best TV comedy you've never heard of (animated or otherwise), "Archer" boasts absurdly funny writing and an all-star comedy cast including "Arrested Development's" Jessica Walter (as Archer's mom/boss) and "SNL's" Chris Parnell.

Simpsons

Now the longest-running primetime series in U.S. TV history, this satirical family sitcom blazed a trail for all adult-oriented animation to follow. Starting as a crudely animated segment on "The Tracey Ullman Show," "The Simpsons" became its own half-hour series in 1989, focusing on the "nuclear" family of dad Homer, mom Marge, son Bart, daughter Lisa, and baby Maggie. Over the course of nearly 500 episodes, the citizens of Springfield have poked fun at American pop culture, politics, religion, and television itself.

Family Guy

This twisted animated series centers on the bizarre Griffin family led by thick-headed dad Peter, who is as tactless as he is clueless. His harried wife Lois struggles to maintain normality in their home life but can't seem to control him. Rounding out the household is angst-ridden teen queen Meg; overweight underachiever Chris; baby Stewie, who already has his mind set on world conquest; and family dog Brian, the brainiest of the bunch. "Guy" mixes razor-sharp satire with its trademark flashbacks and random humor.

Futurama

This cult favorite from "Simpsons" creator Matt Groening ended its five-season run on Fox back in 2003, but found new life on Comedy Central, debuting new episodes in June 2010.

"Futurama" delivers sophisticated "Simpsons"-esque gags along with geeky inside jokes for its sci-fi fan base.

Boondocks

Based on Aaron McGruder's controversial comic strip, "The Boondocks" follows the lives of Huey and Riley Freeman, African-American brothers who move with their Granddad from the inner city to the suburbs.
