Posted on April 4, 2011 by Tom Garrett

Major League Baseball expanded its MLB.TV service to the Playstation 3 for the first time last year.  Rarely does something revolutionize a sports fan experience overnight, but MLB.TV did the trick for me. I’ve been a Major League Baseball fan … Continue reading →

SitCombat: 3/31/11

Posted on April 1, 2011 by Tom Garrett

I’m in for a treat tonight, as both The Office and 30 Rock were reruns.  Why will that be a treat?  Because I happened to have reviewed both of these particular episodes previously. It’s cut-and-paste time!  Maybe I’ll get to … Continue reading →

SitCombat 3/24/11

Posted on March 25, 2011 by Tom Garrett

I’m not sure why the NBC shows would want to go head-to-head with the third round* of the NCAA Tournament, rather than waiting one more week to come back, but they didn’t. Poor strategy aside, we got three new episodes … Continue reading →

SitCombat 3/17/11

Posted on March 18, 2011 by Tom Garrett

I wasn’t originally planning on doing a SitCombat article this week.  Two reasons: One, the NCAA Tournament takes precedence over my viewing schedule.  Two, I thought 30 Rock was going to be another rerun this week.  It turns out, it … Continue reading →

SitCombat: 3/10/11

Posted on March 11, 2011 by Tom Garrett

The NBC shows are still in reruns, which could open the door for Archer to retain its title after a very strong showing last week.  The Office offered up Andy’s fake seminar, 30 Rock refreshed our memories on Tracy’s battle … Continue reading →

SitCombat: 3/3/11

Posted on March 4, 2011 by Tom Garrett

We have an abbreviated edition of SitCombat this week, as NBC pulled a fast one, showing six consecutive episodes of the Office. All were reruns. So, while I would normally review all three series, even if only some were airing … Continue reading →

SitCombat: 2/24/11

Posted on February 25, 2011 by Tom Garrett
