Get The Office at your office

Sunday, June 25th, 2006 | 4 comments

TIME Magazine reports on the bold new frontier of online TV programming.

There are a few interesting snippets relating to the Office webisodes:

[Greg] Daniels [The Office executive producer] considered letting actors swear in the Office webisodes but says he didn’t think “people wanted to hear their favorite characters shouting profanities they wouldn’t hear on the regular show.”

I don’t know; I think a well-placed profane utterance by Angela would be quite hysterical!

OSU chats with Greg Daniels and B. J. Novak

Thursday, May 11th, 2006 | 2 comments

Ohio State University’s The Lantern scores an interview with Greg Daniels, executive producer of The Office, and B. J. Novak.

Casino Night is discussed; proceed with caution.

Read the official article here, and the rough transcript here (recorded by the reporter’s sister, Becca, who also happens to be an Office fan vid creator — check out her videos in the video playlist under “Becca Productions”).

The transcript includes Greg Daniels’ first public mention of the supersizedoffice.com petition!

Alicia: Well I guess I should ask about the finale, you’re probably not allowed to give away too much, but I heard it’s supersized, which is exciting.

Greg: And that by the way came about because a Chicago newspaper had printed something that I said in an interview about, I was just kind of being a little facetious and saying Jeff Zucker oughta supersize it because I don’t want to have to edit it, and these fans started a website called supersizedoffice.com…

Alicia: Yeah, I signed that petition.

Greg: Oh, did you? Good for you! Yeah, anyway, well they really listened to that. And that’s why we have a supersized office.

Nice!

April Fool’s Day PSAs available at NBC.com

Friday, March 31st, 2006 | 5 comments

The entire collection of April Fool’s Day videos, some of which were shown last night and patterned after “The More You Know” public service announcements, can be found at the newly redesigned Office site at NBC.com.

And they’re Mac-friendly, woo-hoo!

I think my favorite ones are “Lipstick,” “Invite,” and “Taping Sex.” Kelly’s cute as a button, Pam looks just a little stressed, and Ryan needs a beer. (But not a $9 beer.)

Update

Here’s what Greg Daniels, executive producer of The Office, had to say about the PSAs:

…we decided to produce these as if NBC went directly to the characters and asked for their advice, and then we’re putting them online as a little fun extra for the fans. Hopefully, by further popularizing the phrase ‘The More You Know,’ we will help make addressing the camera in front of a concrete wall the only acceptable way of transmitting information in the future.

Read the complete press release here.

What was your favorite PSA?

Update: You can find transcriptions here.
