Sat thus starting off sitcom? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

friends

This could be a double definition.

'sat thus starting' is the first definition.
(when Friday ends, Saturday starts)

'off sitcom?' is the second definition.
'friends' can be an answer for 'sitcom?' (US sitcom). I am not sure about the 'off' bit.

(Other definitions for friends that I've seen before include "playmates!" , "Pals, comrades" , "Buddies" , "American sitcom" , "Chums" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
