33/Bill Buttlicker,

It’s April Fools’ Day. Hence, it’s a prank.

Terrible idea. Nothing about this show looks even remotely appealing. Its success is about as probable as that Carell guy ever having a movie career. NBC had much better stick with “Joey.” Now THAT is quality programming.

I’ve seen the original series of this which started in the UK, and the US version looks horrible compared to this. I say it makes 5 episodes and gets dropped. The only person I even recognize is Steve Carell, that guy from Anchorman and The Daily Show.

Oh, almost forgot, Happy April Fool’s Day everyone =)

This very funny prank reminded me of a few things:

Pam’s super bad looks directed towards Michael
Kelly’s initial homely look
Jim’s very younger-looking self
Michael’s hair combed back
Dwight’s hatred of Jim…oh wait, that hasn’t changed…

This in no way beats last year’s prank. That was crazy epic.

Wait, I don’t get it. They’re just a bunch of season 1 promos. That’s not a new show! And I don’t get all the comments! If you guys don’t like the Office, then why are you on its fansite? Tanter, I’M CONFUSED!

Eh, I guess I’ll give this show a try. But I sure will miss “Committed”…

That promo made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It was nice to flashback to all of those moments from Season 1. Great great show.

I can’t believe NBC has the guts to put on such a racist show in this day and age. For shame. I give it 3 episodes tops.

Tanster, you’re right. Why would anyone waste their time on a fan website, let alone visit it nearly every day for updates about this show? And I certainly don’t think the town it’s set in will have a CONVENTION for it!

I fell hard for your joke last year, so I’m glad this one was a little more obvious and didn’t make me feel like a dummy. And I’m really grateful that we can look back on the first season fondly, knowing that we’ll still get a new episode next week. Congrats to NBC and their “new” show!

[from tanster: last year was so nutty, i don't think i'll ever be able to top it.]

It is not going to work. I can’t stand comedies without laugh tracks. How will I know when something is funny??

This show just doesn’t look interesting to me, I don’t know. I think I’m going to stick with Arrested Development. I mean, hell, what are they going to do, cancel it?

this one is good but yours was way better last year, Tanster!I remember that I about died when I read that NBC had bought OfficeTally!

[from tanster: lol. i almost died too. ;) ]

Gotta love Season 1…so different, but so good.

Looks interesting, I’ll have to check that out. Plus that one guy looks super cute <3!

This reminds me of your awesome prank, Tanster, about OT being taken over by NBC. That was so much fun :)

[from tanster: thanks! i barely survived that day. :) ]
