SitCombat: 4/21/11

All three shows were new again tonight.  Would Archer’s season finale be enough to propel the FX animated show to an improbable fourth consecutive victory?  Would The Office take the crown as Steve Carell’s long goodbye continues?  Or perhaps 30 … Continue reading

SitCombat: 4/14/11

For the first time in a long time, we had three new episodes going head-to-head-to-head on Thursday night. Archer has managed to wear the crown the past two weeks with episodes that probably would have won even going up against … Continue reading

Another blissful night with two previously-reviewed episodes awaits me before NBC comes back strong for the home stretch of the 2010-11 season.  Tonight, we get the Todd Packer episode on The Office, followed by the Queen of Jordan episode from … Continue reading

SitCombat: 2/24/11
