SitCombat: The Final Battle

Posted on April 12, 2013 by Tom Garrett

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 →

Twice in a Lifetime (Part One)

Posted on April 4, 2013 by Tom Garrett

One could make a fair argument that, in retrospect, the last two WrestleManias were merely prologue to this year’s event. 2011 saw The Rock “guest host” WrestleMania, eventually (and inevitably) involving himself in the main event match between The Miz … Continue reading →

SitCombat: 3/14/13

Posted on March 18, 2013 by Tom Garrett

I could begin this week by explaining that SitCombat is tardy thanks to my working late, or my preparing tax documents, or my being a little under the weather. True or not, though, nobody cares. This week marked the first … Continue reading →

SitCombat: 2/14/13

Posted on February 15, 2013 by Tom Garrett

As The Office continues its slow, painful march towards the grave, Archer has put together an excellent run of episodes to open its fourth season. Tonight, we get a doubly-long edition of The Office, about which I freely admit I … Continue reading →

SitCombat: 2/7/13

Posted on February 8, 2013 by Tom Garrett

30 Rock barely held on to defeat Archer last week, despite the fact that the former was airing its final episode. With a major hurdle out of the way, Archer may begin to dominate SitCombat for the remainder of its … Continue reading →

SitCombat: 1/31/13

Posted on February 1, 2013 by Tom Garrett

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

Posted on January 25, 2013 by Tom Garrett

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 →

About That Rumble Thing

Posted on January 24, 2013 by Tom Garrett

I normally use my birthday (1/23) to grant myself a rare indulgence and post something introspective. The truth is, I wrote something lengthy—twice—about certain themes and lessons taught to me in my youth that seem to have been abandoned by … Continue reading →

SitCombat: 1/17/13

Posted on January 18, 2013 by Tom Garrett

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: 12/6/12

Posted on December 7, 2012 by Tom Garrett

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 →
