There will be an Office Spin-Off!
NBC released the following information:
NEW YORK – April 2, 2008 –NBC announced today that the most coveted time period of the coming season, the post Super Bowl slot, will be used to launch a spinoff of the network’s hit comedy series, “The Office.” Immediately following NBC Sports’ coverage of Super Bowl XLIII, the network will first present an original episode of “The Office,” followed by the debut of the new Greg Daniels comedy. The Super Bowl has been perennially the biggest television event of the broadcast season and was watched this year by a total audience of more than 148 million viewers. Giving this new series that coveted premiere slot will afford the show tremendous sampling from all demographic groups.
Greg Daniels, Executive Producer of “The Office,” said, “Who would have ever thought that Americans would be subjected to a mock-documentary after the Superbowl? What has happened to this country?”

Nice to see someone not greeting this with uniform dread. We’re kind of interested to see what comes of this and have a proposal for a spinoff based on Todd Packer… (even though we know it probably won’t happen).

We’ll just have to wait and see. If I’ve learned anything from The Office, it’s never underestimate what Greg Daniels and the writers are capable of.

The writing and the chemistry of the cast of The Office I doubt will be rivaled in the spinoff, but I hope they can pull it off.
