ARCHER
February 7, 2013  | By David Bianculli

FX, 10:00 p.m. ET

 
Tonight’s episode title is “Midnight Ron,” a particularly appropriate play on words. In structure, it’s a parody of Midnight Run, the 1988 film comedy in which Robert de Niro and Charles Grodin played a mismatched pair – one a cop, the other a bail-jumping accountant – trying to elude a bunch of bad guys. Only in this animated version, it’s Archer the secret agent who’s paired with a mismatched companion while on the run from gangsters – and the companion, in this case, is his new stepfather, Ron. Hence the title. And as punny titles go, that one's a bullseye -- which brings us back, full circle, to Archer.
