I just read a fun but ridiculous article on “creative ways to choose the next book from your TBR” (dice-rolling? dart-throwing??), and it made me wonder if anyone actually does stuff like this. I kinda doubt it. And if not, could I get some sample responses of how people DO decide that their next book is gonna be their next read?

But I couldn’t figure out how to phrase it, because obviously I already do “why I read this,” which mostly explains what drew me to the book, but I want to distill it down to the very literally “why did you pick that book up now? why not a different book?” and holy crap was my answer to that question not simple, so how can I ask the same of others? To use my example:

The Book: The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s

The answer?

It’s one of my 5 library checkouts at the moment [library checkouts are always my first stop on the What Next train] and when I surveyed them to pick a book to read at the park for 2-3 hours, the bright colors and pleasing heft just jumped out at me as Best.

But should I also mention* that it came into my top 5 simply because I happened to be browsing the TV section of nonfiction at the library on a whim, saw this, remembered how long it had been on my TBR, and realized now would be a good time to read it since I have been watching a lot of The Office w/ husband, but haven’t listened to Office Ladies in a while so there’s minimal chance of hearing the same tidbits I just heard?

*Probably not. But on the other hand, the backstory to my reasoning was technically part of my reasoning.

“I picked the title out of a hat" is starting to sound like a solid reason after all.

#OBVIOUSLY the takeaway here is: please answer (or attempt to answer) my query with your own last read or two if you can!#and of course now I'm sitting here like 'omg imagine if I kept a book journal and included all this absurd minutiae'#it would be awesome (because I will forget my reasoning in a year if not a month otherwise and I Love Handwritten Records)#but it would also immediately become overwhelming and exhausting. maybe if I could freakin' SLOW MY ROLL and #just read fewer books each year so I could go into more depth on each one...#but instead I am mowing them down like a cartoon animal stripping an ear of corn and poised to read more titles this year #than I have in a solid decade

Ricky Gervais: “ I remember they tested it and Greg Daniels sent me a disappointed e-mail saying, “it scored very low.” I wrote back, “Congratulations! the [UK] office tied with women’s bowling for the lowest test score ever and we didn’t change a thing.”

And I said to him, “that’s a good sign. Anything to do with innovation suffers on the test score because people go, “that’s not what I expected.” They mark it down because it’s not like the sitcom they thought it was going to be. You can’t let that stop you.” ”

I don't know if you have heard this, but according to the book “The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s” in the episode 'Niagara' (aka Pam and Jim's wedding) a horse was originally supposed to fall of the Niagara Falls. However, Steve Carell convinced the writers to cut it out of the script.

In response to this post:

casper7319 said: Thank you for replying. After 10 years in a relationship I completely agree that there is always new material. The guy i met year 1 is not the same guy year 5 or even the same person now. There is tons of room for growth and typically writers interpret that through break-ups/make-ups, lie/schemes so much that the relationship becomes so toxic (a la Hyde/Sam, Jackie going to the hotel with Kelso, Hyde calling Jackie ugly) you don’t want them together by the end anyway.

Red × Kitty were definitely the best standard for the show. I also think Bob x Joanne were actually decent in regards to consistent character growth too before disappearing.

Exactly. Plenty of healthy, loving relationships exist, but they don’t exist without fights and conflict and growth and change. That’s called life, and with a more thought and, perhaps, self-examination, the writing on T7S could’ve been a lot stronger. The show’s best episodes are really good, so the series definitely had the capability of producing quality entertainment that also explores the human experience on a relatively deep level.

I recently finished reading The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s: An Oral History by Andy Greene, and the amount of work the showrunners, writers, and actors put into making sure the characters stayed in-character is astounding. And when they regressed a character back to an earlier version (aka Andy), they did so consciously, purposely, and purposefully. Even if the change wasn’t a hundred-percent successful, at least it was done with a lot of thought behind it and not on a whim.

hondagirll said: And this is why I love your writing! You just know how to write characters in a way that is not detrimental to themselves or others

Aw, thank you! ❤️

The Office: The Farm Spin-Off Would Have Wrecked Dwight and Angela’s Ending

https://ift.tt/3yUPU8j

Warning: contains spoilers for The Office seasons 1-9.

“Geese and goats and Schrutes and hijinks at the Bed and Breakfast” is how Rainn Wilson, the actor behind The Office‘s Dwight K. Schrute, summed up proposed spin-off The Farm, which never went beyond its pilot episode. Speaking to fans on a Reddit AMA back in 2012, Wilson called the Dwight-focussed show a terrific, weird yet accessible rural family comedy. Had it been ordered to series, it would have told the story of the Dunder Mifflin paper salesman running a 1,600 acre farm and B&B with his brother and sister.

“It would have been a really big hit,” The Farm writer-director Paul Lieberstein told ‘The Office Deep Dive with Brian Baumgartner’ podcast in 2021. Lieberstein was co-showrunner on The Office for seasons five to eight, and played HR manager Toby Flenderson on the comedy. He told podcast presenter Brian Baumgartner how disappointed he was when NBC chose not to pursue the project in 2012, blaming a change in management. “I don’t see how someone could not give The Farm a chance. Not give the Dwight spin-off a chance,” he told the podcast.

The year before, Comcast had bought a controlling share in NBCUniversal, which resulted in a change of NBC Entertainment Chair. The new boss, says Lieberstein, did not champion The Office. “I have to say that they didn’t even know all of the characters’ names at that point, they weren’t really following the show. I think we were just a disappointing line item at the time.”

Lieberstein had planned for the spin-off to develop into a mockumentary about the hardships of running a small family farm “at a time when they’re being squeezed out”, he told The Daily Beast in 2018. “It would have old characters and new, and they’d have kept the B&B going. It would have been a lot of fun.”

The spin-off’s major new characters were introduced in the unaired pilot, 12 minutes of which were chopped up and edited into season nine The Office episode ‘The Farm’. A pre-Silicon Valley Thomas Middleditch played Dwight’s unlikely brother Jeb, a hapless drifter who’d stumbled into Californian weed farming. Roswell’s Majandra Delfino played their pseudo-intellectual, amateur poet, Chicago-dwelling sister Fannie, single mother to nine-year-old city mouse Cameron, played by Mom’s Blake Garrett-Rosenthal. The 12 minutes of the pilot shown laid the groundwork for Dwight to take ‘Cammy’ under his wing and school him in Schrute tradition.

‘The Farm’ episode also introduced a new love interest for Dwight in the form of Esther Bruegger (played by writer-director Nora Kirkpatrick). Bruegger’s character was an attractive, younger-than-Dwight sprout farmer from a neighbouring farm, who recurred as Dwight’s girlfriend on season nine of The Office until Dwight and Angela finally reunited and went on to marry in the series finale. If The Farm had come to fruition though, that series finale would have been entirely different.

Angela Kinsey – the actor behind The Office’s uptight, judgmental accountant Angela, who had a long-running secret affair with Dwight – was not part of The Farm’s cast. After the end of The Office, Kinsey was lined up to star alongside her real-life pal Rachael Harris in FOX sitcom pilot Dirty Blondes, a post-divorce female friendship comedy by Black-Ish’s Stacy Traub. When that didn’t happen, Kinsey starred alongside The Daily Show’s Rob Riggle in the pilot for oddball family comedy The Gabriels. That one didn’t go either, but if either had gone to series, then Kinsey obviously could not have also been part of The Farm, meaning that ‘Dwangela’ wasn’t always destined to be Dwight’s romantic endgame. Perhaps Kinsey would have made Lilith Sternin-in-Frasier-style guest appearances in the spin-off, but it seems that she and baby Philip weren’t always intended to be Dwight’s big story.

The Office: The Frustrating, Moving Story Behind Steve Carell Leaving

By Louisa Mellor

Parks and Recreation: What Happened to Mark Brendanawicz?

By Gavin Jasper

The original plan, if The Farm had gone to series, was for the backdoor pilot to have slotted in around episode five of The Office’s final season. At that point, Dwight had given up on Angela after (wrongly) learning in the season premiere that he wasn’t the biological father of her son. Rainn Wilson’s character would have been written out of the show around the mid-season point, leaving Dunder Mifflin for an Angela-free future.

Somewhat counter-intuitively, Dwight would also be leaving for a Mose-free future. Mose Schrute was Dwight’s strange cousin, a recurring character who lived at Schrute Farms and popped up to add weird vibes whenever the story ventured in that direction. Any fan would have expected Mose to be a cert for The Farm spin-off, but that was an impossibility. Mose’s character was played by one of the show’s writer-producers Michael Schur, and originally intended as a seldom-seen joke. The character though, proved a fan favourite, so the team kept finding ways to bring him back.

At the end of season four, Mike Schur and Greg Daniels left The Office to run its first ever spin-off, a city council-focused comedy that eventually became Parks & Recreation. In 2013, Parks & Rec was entering its fifth season, and there was no way that Schur would have time to run that show and continue playing Mose. Schur told Aint It Cool in June 2012 that Mose’s absence from the series proper would be explained, “and that the explanation was too funny to reveal ahead of the pilot’s airing.” A tragic farm-related accident? Scouted for a new season of Amish in the City? Or perhaps Mose finally elopes with his lady scarecrow… we’ll never know.

When NBC declined to pick up The Farm, the decision was made in good enough time for Dwight to be re-inserted as a lead into the last half of season nine, and for the series finale to be written around his and Angela’s wedding. An unintended victim, showrunner Greg Daniels told fastcompany.com in 2013, was British actor Catherine Tate who played Nellie on The Office:

“The toughest part was for Catherine Tate. There was going to be this zone where Rainn had left and Ed Helms was doing The Hangover [Part III] and we had talked to Catherine about the character of Nellie kind of filling the gap and being the driver of comedy A-stories in that period. Then when The Farm didn’t go, Rainn kind of came back and filled that role. So I think we kind of wasted a brilliant comedian this year a little bit with Catherine Tate.”

Greg Daniels, 2013.

‘The Farm’ half-hour eventually aired as episode 17 of the season, which introduced Dwight’s new girlfriend Esther just in time for Angela’s marriage to her closeted gay husband Senator Robert Lipton to have fallen apart, creating a mini love triangle. Who would Dwight choose, a young teutonic beauty who knew her way around a combine harvester, or his ‘Monkey’?

Dwight chose Monkey, and promised to raise her son Philip despite not being his biological father. That’s when Angela told Dwight that she’d faked the DNA results and Philip was, as suspected, his son. ‘Faked the results’ isn’t quite how editor-producer David Rogers put it in this 2013 interview with Office Tally. Rogers explained that lines had been cut from scenes suggesting that when Dwight took a used diaper from the garbage to test Philip’s paternal DNA, he accidentally picked up one used by Jim and Pam’s baby or another child, hence the lack of a match. In the end, that explanation was dropped to simplify things.

Dwight and Angela’s one-year-later wedding story in the series finale gave The Office the perfect premise to reunite the show’s cast, many of who had left Dunder Mifflin for pastures new. It let Steve Carell make a deliberately low-key cameo (he didn’t want to draw focus from the main event) as Michael Scott, Dwight’s surprise best man. It let Jim and Dwight show their brotherly affection for each other, after years of enmity. And it gave Dwight and a partially redeemed Angela – who’d been brought low by the end of her marriage and lost some of her sharper corners in the process – a happy ending. Had The Farm happened, all of that would have been different.

Some think that that NBC’s decision not to move forward with the spin-off was no bad thing. When writer of The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s Andy Greene was asked about the defunct series in this Jeremy Roberts interview, he clearly thought it was for the best:

“Everyone I spoke to felt it was a bad idea. I agree. You don’t want to spend that much time with Dwight on the farm. He’s funny at an office with people that are his total opposites. “The Farm” is a salvaged failed pilot that they chopped up into a regular episode because NBC didn’t want to pick it up. The whole thing was just a colossally wrong-headed idea and one of the worst Office episodes ever.“

Andy Greene, 2020.

Dwight works so well as a character in The Office because he’s the chaotic element in Dunder Mifflin’s everyday mix, the unpredictable wildcard in a place of crushing predictability. Surround Dwight K. Schrute with characters as unhinged as he is, and he loses his unique power. If The Office is ultimately about – as Pam says in the show’s last ever line – seeing beauty in ordinary things, then The Farm, with its oddball characters and outlandish Schrute family traditions, would have been anything but ordinary, so maybe wouldn’t have captured the same beauty.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

The Office: An American Workplace is available to stream on Netflix in the UK, and on Peacock in the US.
