Posted on January 20, 2012 by Tom Garrett

30 Rock took the first SitCombat win of 2012, but Tina Fey and company didn’t have to tangle with Archer. The much-anticipated return of the FX comedy comes after a strong run to end the second season, followed by a … Continue reading →

The Return of SitCombat

Posted on January 13, 2012 by Tom Garrett

I figured the season premiere of 30 Rock was as good a time as any to renew the weekly comedy showdown known as “SitCombat.” Archer comes back next week, so the opening contest of the year will be a one-on-one … Continue reading →

SitCombat: 4/28/11 (Or: On the Narrative Integrity of The Office)

Posted on April 29, 2011 by Tom Garrett

Archer wrapped up last week after nearly winning four straight to end its season. We’re therefore down to two: 30 Rock, and the (crying) elephant in the (melancholy) room—The Office. I have a feeling picking a victor in tonight’s SitCombat … Continue reading →

SitCombat: 4/21/11

Posted on April 22, 2011 by Tom Garrett

All three shows were new again tonight. Would Archer’s season finale be enough to propel the FX animated show to an improbable fourth consecutive victory? Would The Office take the crown as Steve Carell’s long goodbye continues? Or perhaps 30 … 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: 2/24/11

Posted on February 25, 2011 by Tom Garrett

Yesterday was quite a day around these parts.* I can think of no better way to follow up an academic-style commentary about the Obama Administration’s decision to cease defending DOMA than with an analysis of the relative merits of three … Continue reading →

SitCombat: 2/17/11

Posted on February 18, 2011 by Tom Garrett

Can the long-awaited cinematic tale of Michael Scarn top defending champ 30 Rock, or will Sterling Archer’s own action / intrigue (and Burt Reynolds references) allow upstart Archer to take the crown from venerable and little-watched NBC fare? Here’s how … Continue reading →

SitCombat

Posted on February 11, 2011 by Tom Garrett

I only watch about eight television shows on anything resembling a regular basis. I realized recently that three of those shows are sitcoms airing on Thursday nights. I usually watch all three and informally think to myself, “Show X won … Continue reading →
