For Whedonverse fans

[somerfrost]

Joss is directing an episode of The Office which will air on Feb 15th. There are several links to Myspace profiles of cast members and a PA on the show from Whedonesque site describing the filming of the episode. All compliments, including pictures of Joss calling the PA's mother to wish her a happy birthday and talking to her for over 5 minutes (she is apparently a huge fan). I've never watched this show but will catch that episode I guess.

I've heard from lots of folks that it's pretty good...just don't have time to watch everything and, as a rule, I don't appreciate modern comedies. I watch How I Met Your Mother when I can but frankly, I watch only cause Aly is on the show. I simply didn't like Seinfeld...I know, I'm weird, but I just never saw the point. I like my comedy within other genres (ie: Buffy, Charmed, Bones, House, Veronica Mars, Angel). Joss Whedon loves the show, and took the time to direct an episode so I guess I really should watch it...maybe I'll start.

It's very funny- you'll really enjoy it, Somer. Almost as good at the British version (I still say no one can do an uncomfortable pause like the Brits)

Oh! And it's set in Scranton!

GR,
I noticed that the folks on Myspace that are part of the show live in Pa. I guess I'll start...Joss' taste is pretty good so if he likes it...!

I hope he doesn't screw this up, it's my favorite show and I don't want him putting a bunch of wierd stuff in there, although it could play well off of Dwight Shrute...

What "weird stuff" would you expect exactly?
