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

SitCombat: 4/26/12

SitCombat: 4/12/12

30 Rock has forged a SitCombat dynasty in recent weeks. Tina Fey and company have racked up a half-dozen consecutive victories with no end in sight. The wrap of Archer and the repeated re-runs (is the redundant?) by the Office … Continue reading

SitCombat: 4/5/12
