Jennifer Godwin, writing for the "Watch With Kristin" column over at Eonline.com, posted some news from The Office writers' appearance at The Paley Center on October 14th.

Most specifically, news about the non-spinoff starring the newly post-pregnant Amy Poehler.

Here are a few tidbits from Mike Schur:

  1. The show still doesn't have a name
  2. Rashida Jones is NOT involved - Only Poehler and Aziz Ansari have been cast
  3. They're almost done with the script; pilot to be shot in February '09
  4. The "season" will only be 6-8 episodes long
  5. Everything else is a secret
In other words, we still don't know much more than we did five months ago. As I've said before, I'm not a huge Poehler fan and still resent the fact that Schur and Daniels are being taken away from The Office in order to produce this new show. Still, I guess we'll see sometime next spring whether it was worth it.  And hey, worst case scenerio the show tanks and they'll be back writing The Office in season six :)
