Just a reminder that The Office debuts on TBS tonight, starting with Season 1, Episode 1: Pilot.

This is the perfect opportunity to get those older episodes on your DVR, or to convert a newbie to the show. (It’s also fun to see Michael Scott’s old slick-backed ‘do.)

TBS airs The Office every Tuesday night at 10pm.

The Office editors have too much fun on the job

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007 | 19 comments

Newly Emmy award-winning Office editors David Rogers and Dean Holland are featured in the latest issue of Editors Guild Magazine:

The editors receive a lot of footage, all of it shot hand-held, according to Rogers. “It’s tricky making it all seem cohesive,” he explains. We have so many great actors to cut to, and they give so much in their performances. But cutting the show can be a challenge.” The greatest challenge to editing The Office is definitely the amount of footage,” adds Holland, picking up the conversation. “There’s so much good material and 21 minutes and 15 seconds [the length of an episode, sans commercials] is not a lot of time.”

It’s a fantastic behind-the-scenes look at The Office’s editing process. If you like geeking out about such details, you will love the article. Photos, too!

Congratulations again, David and Dean, on the Emmy win!

Rainn Wilson on Nightline

Saturday, September 8th, 2007 | 20 comments

SPOILER WARNING! Video contains new Office footage.

Rainn Wilson was featured on ABC’s Nightline last night:

Words barely describe Dwight Shrute, the suck-up salesman and assistant regional manager of the Scranton branch for the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.

But Rainn Wilson, the actor who plays Shrute on NBC’s “The Office,” has a few for you. “Dweeby, fascistic, power-grubbing, hierarchical. Is that a word? Annoying and self-serious. How’s that? Those would be, those are seven words. I was counting them on my fingers,” Wilson said during an interview in his home outside Los Angeles. “And bizarre,” Wilson added. “Did I say bizarre? I didn’t say bizarre, throw that in the mix.”
