   Wow it actually looks like a documentary, wish the office would have stuck with that docu-look.

   I have high hopes for this show now that we know the title. Parks and Recreation, what a fresh idea!

   I actually interned at NBC Universal this fall and came across a copy of the pilot script, which I read immediately of course… I was surprisingly unimpressed.

   It did feel a lot different than the Office… maybe more 30 Rock in style. But kind of boring. Amy’s character is kind of fun, but nobody else jumped out of the script. Hopefully it will come across better in live action.

    As a Hoosier working in small town city government, I think this is great! Anyone have a contact number for me to call to get on as a paid “consultant”!!!

    Agreed Lynda. I was more interested before I read the plot description.

    Erm, this plot sounds really dopey. I hope they punch it up before filming the pilot.

    Did anybody go to “A Night of Funny People” where Apatow shot Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen for a scene in the movie? Aziz Ansari did an act. He was absolutely hysterical.

    I think I could really dig this. Hey, NBC is not really coming up with fresh scripted television and comedies lately. It’s all Howie Mandel, Reality shows and Jay Leno at 10pm each night. This is the only prominent sitcom in development that is getting buzz. Besides, it sounds funny to me. I’ll take what I can get. Another workplace comedy is cool. And the added bonus is Amy, Rashida and Aziz getting scripts written by Michael Schur. You can’t go wrong. I’m staying positive.

    so it’s like the Office, only it isn’t the Office?

    Remember in 2005 when Steve Carell appeared in the first few episodes of the series in the Spring and the show was on the verge of not making it until Carell appeared in an Apatow-directed movie over the summer? It’s almost happening all over again, except the two people in the non-spinoff and the Apatow movie are not the leads in either.

    A little off topic, in regards to #576′s comments about Jenna Fischer, I would like to see her in another Apatow picture, maybe even headline one if Apatow allows a female lead. And on a more personal note, I’d like to see her alongside the top dog star of Funny People, Adam Sandler, especially if she’s playing the kind of role Drew Barrymore had in her movies with Sandler.

    it sounds like it is going to focus on the idea of amy’s character being self important and thinking that she is involved in “politics” which is different. although the david brent character was, michael scott is not arrogant. having worked in a small city’s parks and rec department i am actually looking forward to the show. and i have no problem with it being similar to the office – if it’s funny then who cares?

    Is there room for another mockumentary on TV? Absolutely.

    Is there room for another office-centered comedy? Definitely.

    But another office-centered mockumentary? I dunno…

    For some reason I’m still feeling apprehensive about this non-spin-off show. It just sounds like The Office with different people, in a different work setting, and I don’t want to see a re-hashing of the wonderful original (and yes, I know the UK Office was THE original, but I’m just talking in US terms, here). I’m definitely going to give the new show a try. I’d love for there to be another show that I love as much as TO, but I hope they make it sufficiently different so I don’t feel like I’ve seen it all before.

    This sounds like a show I’m already watching… The Office.
