Newpeat

Tonight NBC is cleverly trying to improve ratings for reruns by rolling out a “newpeat” of The Office this week. What's a newpeat you ask? It is a previously aired episode that has be re-edited so producers can weave in unaired footage that introduces a new storyline into the older episodes. They are also trying to merge two newpeats into an hour-long story. Tonight they will air newpeats of Traveling Salesman and The Return and it will be interesting if the new footage adds to the overall The Office world or it creates confusion. I think this is a very ingenious idea to reuse film that they already have on hand and give us, the viewing public, something to look forward to when it is rerun season. I wonder if they use this model to give some added life to the series over the summer break? We'll see shortly if it works or not.

Dwight on SNL

Rainn Wilson hosted SNL this past weekend and while the episode wasn't great, his The Office inspired monologue was pretty funny.

Check out:

Kristen Wigg as Pam
Jason Sudeikis as Jim
Kenan Thompson as Stanley
Lorne Michaels as Michael
Amy Poehler as Angela



Loved the cameo by Rashida Jones [who he calls Karen] and the World's Funniest Boss mug. Classic.

Oh no you didn't

Yes I did, get the Dwight Schrute Bobblehead doll from my loving wife for my desk. The DS Bobblehead keeps a watchful eye over my domain while I am away from my desk. If you love the real deal bobblehead doll then your going to love The Bobblehead Bash: Dwight vs The Donald. I love watching those two bobbleheads go mano-a-mano. Hope you enjoyed your holiday as much as I did.

The Office Merger Rap

I did a quick mashup of the Lazy Scranton "Orientation Video" from last night's The Office with Linkin Park's Project Revolution. You can save the file by right-clicking here and using the Save Target As... option in the pop-up menu. We will be working on some better machup's in the coming weeks. Have a great weekend and remember to "Call poison control if you’re bit by a spider but check that it's covered by your healthcare provider".

The Office Grows, Gangsta Style

In preperation for tonight's episode [The Merger], you will first need to pick a team to support going forward - Team Karen or Team Pam. What will it be boy, Karen or Pam?

Also after tonight's episode, see if you can get these words out of your head:

Sittin' in my office with a plate of grilled beacon
Call the man twice just to see what was shaking
Yo Mike our town is dope and pretty
So check out how we live in the Electric City
They call it Scranton (what) The Electric City
Scranton (what) The Electric City
Call poison control if you’re bit by a spider
But check that it's covered by your healthcare provider

Fo shizzle my nizzle!
