I’ve written and spoken often about my concerns regarding the social norms of younger Americans. There’s a fairly stark line of demarcation between those who made it through their formative years without the influence of the internet and social media, … Continue reading
SitCombat: The Final Battle
This is the end. Unless SitCombat reformulates around different shows, this will be the last regular edition of the feature. Archer’s season concluded tonight, leaving only one show left to evaluate. Less than a minimum of two programs quite obviously … Continue reading

SitCombat: 4/4/13
SitCombat’s days are numbered. This week is the first of a two-part season finale for Archer. Once Archer’s finished, that removes the competition for The Office. No competition, no SitCombat. I may still write a series finale piece on The … Continue reading

Twice in a Lifetime (Part Two)
When we left our heroes in Part One, Dolph Ziggler had overcome a loss earlier in the evening (as well as months of an inexplicably middling push) to capture, at long last, the World Heavyweight Championship against an Alberto Del … Continue reading
Twice in a Lifetime (Part One)

SitCombat: 3/14/13
I could begin this week by explaining that SitCombat is tardy thanks to my working late, or my preparing tax documents, or my being a little under the weather. True or not, though, nobody cares. This week marked the first … Continue reading

SitCombat: 2/14/13
As The Office continues its slow, painful march towards the grave, Archer has put together an excellent run of episodes to open its fourth season. Tonight, we get a doubly-long edition of The Office, about which I freely admit I … Continue reading

SitCombat: 2/7/13

One Long, Last Look at The Office
