@Matt - Plenty. Just because that line (and pretty much the whole set up of that scene) was a parody of Magnum PI (and acknowledged in the episode), that certainly doesn't take away the Ruth story line...

How much credit can you really give Archer for depth when he was parodying (certainly the writers, if not the character) Magnum PI with the Regis line, though?

I watched this episode at 4am, exhausted thinking I was gonna fall asleep halfway through. I literally had to pause it because I was so overtaken with laughter. This was Archer at its absolute best. Contender for best episode thus far. Violent yes (as far as cartoon violence being, y'know, a thing) but they're secret agents for Pete's sake. Family Feud + Krieger backstory = Me annoying the girlfriend all morning by shouting RAMPAGE around the kitchen. FUCK. YES.

This episode of archer was great but its hard for me to pick a favorite. I agree they did a good job of mixing serious with comedy and Ruth smoking weed in the waiting room and telling the nurse to get her panties out of a wad was great. I also likes how lana pretty much had to finish up the rampage because of the side effects of archers real Chemo treatment.

I've got to say that your review was right on the money. I LOLed at the "Family Feud" moment but it was definitely a darker and more serious episode than I expected. And yes, the "Did you see Regis" moment was #TeamLiveBadass.
Archer: Something something danger zone. I know. I'm not even trying anymore.
