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.

Wow, what a terrible idea.

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.

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.

Unless maybe they get Ricky Gervais.

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.

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