SitCombat: 1/31/13

I’m not going to pretend that The Office and Archer don’t face an uphill battle tonight. They face off against the series finale of 30 Rock, and it would be disingenuous to behave as if 30 Rock doesn’t have a … Continue reading

SitCombat: 1/24/13

Tick-tock.  30 Rock and The Office are close to wrapping for good, and, with them, so is SitCombat.  Both seem to be going out in style, as they produced high-quality episodes last week. Yet, neither of the venerable NBC franchises … Continue reading

SitCombat: 1/17/13

Seems like just yesterday I was writing SitCombat.  It was actually the day before yesterday, thanks to the previously explained hiatus.  30 Rock took an easy win over The Office, but there’s some added competition tonight, courtesy of FX and … Continue reading

SitCombat: 1/10/13

A long hiatus for the SitCombat shows, coupled with a second delay caused by my pursuing other interests last Thursday, means that this is the first edition of SitCombat in over a month. It will also be one of the … Continue reading

SitCombat: 12/6/12

30 Rock won back its crown (with a wedding episode, no less!), turning back a decent effort from The Office and a mediocre League.  I hate writing these intro parts, so let’s just dive right in, shall we? We get … Continue reading

SitCombat: 11/29/12

Hello there, SitCombat.  It’s been a while. It is nearly December, and, in these virtual pages, SitCombat makes a return that I can only assume will be triumphant.  A combination of some downtime for the shows, plus a week in … Continue reading

SitCombat: 10/25/12

30 Rock eked out a narrow victory over newcomer The League last week. I introduced The League into the contest to shake things up a bit, and my hope is that the upstart from FX may prove to be a … Continue reading

SitCombat: 10/18/12

Boy, oh, boy, is MY face red! It turns out that “special” episode of The Office I watched and reviewed last week was actually the 2012 Vice-Presidential Debate. Embarrassing, to say the least. I’ll try to do better this week, … Continue reading

SitCombat: 10/11/12

30 Rock pulled off the win last week with an episode that was as much about setting the table for its final season as it was delivering laughs (it did both).  The Office had an “off” week after a strong … Continue reading

SitCombat is SitComBACK!

The venerable NBC franchises which are the subject of the equally-venerable “SitCombat” conflict will both cease production at the end of this season.  It seems incredibly likely that this (if not “tired,” at least a little “sleepy”) format will likewise … Continue reading
