Big news today about the still unnamed Amy Poehler sitcom set to debut in 2009-- Despite the earlier news denying involvement, Rashida Jones has indeed joined the cast. According to VARIETY, Jones will play "Ann Logan, a nurse whose boyfriend has a strange injury. It's that injury that leads Jones' character into the world populated by Poehler and Aziz Ansari." Writer Mike Schur, one of the show's creators, called Jones "funny, talented and beautiful... She is perfect for this new show, which -- just to remind everyone -- is not a spinoff of 'The Office,' It is a spinoff of 'MASH' called 'Seinfeld II.' " According to the article, Jones is also set to appear at least once this season on THE OFFICE.

Ok, this quote unquote \"non Spinoff Spinoff\" is really starting to annoy me. It\'s distracting from, (and in my opinion lessening) the office. And how I am supposed to believe Rashida as this new character? I\'ll look at her and just think of Karen. It just seems like NBC is making a mistake here of cannibalizing one of their own shows. I mean, this is all just IMHO, but still c\'mon, what the hell is going on at that network?
