The premiere of new animated comedy Unsupervised had a soft start Thursday night, drawing just 856,000 total viewers at 10:30 p.m. on FX.

That audience was 35% below the 1.31 million total viewers that tuned in for the season three return of Archer at 10 p.m., which was up 10% from where it ended its three-episode preview last September.

Unsupervised follows two best friends (voiced by David Hornsby and Justin Long) as they try to navigate teenage life without parental guidance. FX has ordered 13 episodes of the series.
