We tried to get Mackenzie Crook (Gareth) to be in the paper convention episode but we couldn't work it out timing-wise.
Question: Any truth to the rumors of J.J. Abrams directing an episode of The Office?— Kathleen Hughes
Ausiello: It's 100 percent true. The episode shoots in February and, well, that's all I know at this point.
November 29, 2006 -- EVER think that bad taste can leave a good taste in your mouth?
Tomorrow night, NBC has put together a two-hour comedy block of sitcoms that are so funny they might even remind you of the good old days - you know, before cable was your first choice for over-the-edge entertainment.
Now, while they are all exceptionally good new episodes of "My Name Is Earl," "Scrubs" and "30 Rock," "The Office" is the one that actually comes close to "Borat"-funny.
In other words, it's throw-your-back-out-funny in that hugely embarrassing, please-don't-go-there sort of way.
And there's good reason. The episode was written by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, long-time collaborators, who created "The Office" in the U.K. before allowing their baby to go away to school on this side of the Atlantic.
The pearl of an "Earl" episode is followed by an uneven episode of "The Office" at 8:30> It is written by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the creators of the British version of the program that inspired the workplace series about a clueless boss. Titled "The Convict," it revolves around Michael's (Steve Carell) attempt to be supportive to an employee who is discovered to have had a past as a white collar criminal.
It leads to some politically incorrect speculation that highlight Michael's (Steve Carell) awkwardness as a boss. He gets even more awkward when the staff sees obvious similarities between prison and working in their cubicles at the paper company.
A secondary plot in which Jim (John Krasinski) gives a potential suitor for Pam (Jenna Fischer) some misinformation is more amusing. But this routine episode helps you understand why "The Office" hasn't ridden its Emmy victory to bigger ratings. It's an acquired taste.
