The Office’s spotlight on Stamford

Lisa Chamoff of The Stamford Advocate writes about how The Office created an authentic Stamford branch for this season.

An excerpt:

Most of the show is shot on a sound stage in California, but the Stamford branch will not lack local identity.

To create the fictional Stamford branch of the fictional paper company, the production staff contacted the city’s real-life Chamber of Commerce. They asked about where Stamford workers might eat, and had the chamber send items that might make it onto the desks of a Stamford office — things such as coffee mugs and other items emblazoned with the logos of local companies.

Get a call from Dwight

Update: Looks like this feature is no longer available.

Check this out: you can have a recorded message from Dwight sent to any phone!

There’s a choice of five different messages: Truancy, Big Order, TP, Werewolf, and Resume.

The site doesn’t say when you’ll get the call, but the fun is in the anticipation, isn’t it? Me, I’m going to send Big Order to my manager’s phone. ;)

The secret code to unlock the DVD deleted scenes is: dwight rules

Thanks to psiqueue over at the LJ Office community for the tip!

Kate’s TV Guide blog

Kate Flannery (“Meredith”) has updated her TV Guide blog with a little information about tonight’s episode, “The Coup”:

Office fans, look out — behind every great man is a pushy woman. Or in this case, a pushy, short, judgmental blonde named Angela. It’s the ultimate Adam-and-Eve saga. Angela is about to push the apple in Dwight’s face as she persuades him to try to take Michael’s place at Dunder-Mifflin.

She also gives a shout-out to OfficeTally and Northern Attack. Thanks, Kate! :)

All about Oscar

Here are two interviews with Oscar Nunez (“Oscar”):

  • MeeVee talks with Oscar Nunez

    What was the atmosphere like when you filmed the season premiere (The Gay Witch Hunt)? You got kissed by two men in the same episode.
    Two? Oh, that’s right, Rainn (Wilson, Dwight) got one in there at the end too. We shot that awhile ago. It was a wonderful experience. I did a couple of takes, but I didn’t know Steve (Carell) was going to kiss me. When I looked over, everyone was looking down and hiding their faces, laughing.

  • Interview with Oscar Nunez at AfterElton.com (warning: website is NSFW):

    AE: So, speaking of actors, what is it like to work with Steve Carell?
    ON: It’s a dream come true. Except for Steve’s drinking problem, it’s wonderful. He rarely strikes me, but when he does, it’s because I deserve it. I mouth off. I’ve been an actor for 20 years, and it’s probably the most fun I’ve had.
