The Office thoughts and notes
After the last couple of weeks of genius episodes and a recent devotion to the series that I can’t quite figure out why I didn’t have in the past (seriously, when Creed ate that potato…genius). So, I was intrigued by this post I saw over at Fimoculous mentioning how half the actors on the show are actually creative and executive influences on the show:
Completely unprovable but perhaps interesting observation about The Office: the creators are also actors. That is, the actor who plays Toby (Paul Lieberstein) is actually the co-executive producer, Brian (B.J. Novak) has produced many episodes, and Mindy (Mindy Kaling) is chief writer. (I thought of this while reading a story in which Jeff Zucker suggests that The Office might turn into an hour-long comedy. Wacky.)
I love this show. An hour would be amazing.
