Mar 20 2006The Office Going Online for Summer
Fans of NBC's The Office will be treated to some new episodes even when the show breaks for the summer. The network announced that it will release 10 web-only episodes on NBC.com during the summer, involving a plot that will reveal a mystery surrounding some of the secondary characters:
In a news release, the network said the "webisodes" will focus on a mystery facing the accounting staff of the Dunder-Mifflin paper company. The three characters -- Angela, Kevin and Oscar -- are secondary parts of the regular ensemble cast.
I'm not the biggest fan of the American The Office, but it's still better than most sitcoms on the air right now, so I'll take it. My worry is that their being online-only probably means shorter and lower quality. However, maybe that's unfounded, since that hasn't yet been the case for online-only porngraphy. I mean, have you seen this Wifey lady's videos? If it weren't for her being somewhat homely and shooting the videos in a trashy living room with a ten-year-old camcorder, you'd never know she was an "amateur." If that's the quality being web-only creates, then maybe more of television should be web-only. At least in terms of raw numbers of handjobs.

I'm going to comment on this just because the office is awesome and deserves cheers for putting episodes on the internet when I don't have cable.
So, cheers The Office, cheers.

In response to #1 - Considering the series is NOT on cable, but on regular TV I think it will be great for the series.
The show is fuckin' phenomenal and hilarious. I just hope the episodes are free, but something tells me otherwise..
