SitCombat: 12/6/12

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

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
