Tell Ausiello: more Office!

Hey, almighty Office fandom, send TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello a strong message that we want more coverage of our favorite show by voting for The Office in his poll!

With ”Gilmore Girls” and ”Veronica Mars” gone, what underrepresented shows should pick up the slack in Ask Ausiello?

Bones — 21%
Medium — 3%
NCIS — 5%
The Office — 35%
One Tree Hill — 8%
Supernatural — 25%

He has not been the most ardent Office fan, but perhaps if he covered the show more, he would change his mind …

Wearing multiple hats on The Office

Variety has a really interesting article about the challenges of being both an actor and writer — true of several staff members on The Office:

[Paul] Lieberstein, who was strictly a writer before coming to “The Office,” finds his actor mind and producer mind in conflict in another way. [Steve] Carell, he explains, will pounce (in character) on any actor who fumbles an improv.

“He just devours you. If you take too long, he makes fun of you. If you say something that didn’t follow, he makes fun of you. It’s kind of amazing. While I’m watching it as a producer, when I’m not in the scene, it’s definitely something I’m hoping for.”
