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

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: 5/10/12
The future of the Office and 30 Rock is still in doubt, although both may be moving toward official renewals. Both also may wind up knowing going in that next season will be their last. 30 Rock moves along a … Continue reading
SitCombat: 5/3/12
There’s no elaborate introduction necessary this week. The fact of the matter is that 30 Rock has claimed victory a record nine straight weeks. Given the struggles of the Office of late, Alec Baldwin and company have a terrific opportunity … Continue reading

The Office may be on its last legs. That’s a simple reality. Cast members are getting involved in other projects right and left, and the instability in front of and behind the camera appears to have taken a toll on … Continue reading

SitCombat: 4/5/12
30 Rock’s stranglehold on SitCombat continued with a fifth straight win on March 29th. The absence of Archer following the completion of its third season has removed much of the competition (and, so far, suspense) from SitCombat. The Office has … Continue reading
SitCombat: 3/15/12
I’m skipping the first night of the NCAA tournament to write a review of three sitcoms, so I’m going to dispense with the preamble this week. It’s only fair. I’ll just point out that 30 Rock is riding a two-week … Continue reading
