I went back and rewatched to see for myself:
yes, she looked like Pam; no, Ryan's expression didn't change. He just stared for a little longer than you would expect. Plus, he was probably trying to figure out who "Eddie Murphy" was...

That's been one of the points of the show since almost Ep 1: it's not just Michael, but there are people/losers/supposed experts in every type of work who are absolute idiots and don't know their ass from their elbow. It's not just DMI that employs these people.......

My favorite parts was Dwigt's second reality where he flies, and the line in the commercial "...and bad news" with the paper "You have a son, and it's me". Golden. I agree, this episode got back to the show's heart. Gotta love Michael Scott.

spin-off for the office?
link

doesn't sound like they are going to take from any of the series regulars. I am not sure if a spin-off like that can work unless they can get a relatively big name comedy star.

Let me be a network executive. I'll pick 40 pilots at random, and just throw them on the air with little regard to quality of premise. If I get lucky, and a show manages to somehow be good, and garner some ratings, I will then run it into the ground with spinoffs, tie-ins, "bonus" episodes and anything else I can do to kill the golden goose.

Seriously can't DVDTalk members band together and buy a channel or something and put our own programming together?

If this happened, people would get to start threads bitching about a show that they made on their own.

Season 1 of Peeing in Their Butts was genius to the shit that is season 2. Luckily Lump Sum hasn't jumped the twikoff yet.

It would be more fun bitching at each other than at faceless execs I would imagine.

Awful Awful Awful . . .

Unless maybe they get Ricky Gervais.

Personally, I thought that Peeing in Their Butts went downhill after they all stopped wearing black jeans.

Excellent job. Now in my signature.

cheers,

This isn't bad news IMO. They aren't taking any of the regulars and they're making a new show that for all we know could be great. And if it sucks then well I don't have to watch it since the regular Office is still there.

The pity is that based on the listed premise for this week's episode, they may have missed out on a golden opportunity to set up that spin off with a backdoor pilot of sorts.

Maybe they'll take the Ryan character and offload him onto the new show while keeping BJ as a writer for The Office. That might be a bit challenging for him, but they could make him a bit player on the other show after the first couple of episodes.

From the sounds of it they're just using the Office to launch another show based in Office. Its not like office-based humor is that original anyway. The show will stand on it own merits since they aren't taking any characters from the original.

So, if Andy and Angela end up together, will their relationship combination name be Angela or Andy? (Brangelina/Bennifer)
