TV tonight: 'Bones,' 'Blacklist,' 'Archer'

Bones
Fox, 8 ET/PT

Bones returns, after a winter hiatus that stretched so long, Booth and Brennan's daughter Christine is now a teenager (well, OK, not quite). And what's even better, it returns with one of its best guests, the ever-delightful Cyndi Lauper, as Angela's psychic friend who helps an unwilling team solve the murder of another psychic. But the good things in this episode extend beyond that, as the characters also pause to recognize the birthday of their departed friend, Sweets. It's one of those smart ways Bones uses its characters' histories to make them seem more real while strengthening the bonds with the show's loyal fans.

The Blacklist
NBC, 9 ET/PT

My goodness, our Lizzie leads a complicated life. As if having Red in it weren't bad enough, she now has to deal with her faux-ex-husband Tom — the one she kept locked up until he committed murder for her — who's back in town and free of legal worries. But not, apparently, of enemies, as you'll find out tonight.

Archer
FX, 10 ET/PT

What do you get when you combine one of TV's best comedies with the plot of one of Hollywood's best-loved movies, Fantastic Voyage? Something great, one hopes, as Archer launches a two-part season finale that miniaturizes Archer and his friends.
