Inc.com interviews The Office Executive Producer Greg Daniels:
Greg Daniels is to fun what Bono is to money: He has a lot of it and spends his days contemplating those who have none. Daniels created the American version of The Office, a sitcom about a paper company where the tin-eared boss mistakes insults for banter and tries employees’ patience with cringe-inducing entertainments. As executive producer and a writer for the NBC program, Daniels is essentially boss of a show about the Dante’s Inferno of workplaces.
Link: He Knows Where You Work
Used to live in Chicago and you DO NOT want to be anywhere near Lake Michigan in the winter. Poor souls.
I think the interviewer was really right-on when he described Michael Scott as mistaking insults for banter and entertainment for leadership. As an educator, though, I was pretty disheartened when Greg Daniels compared school with The Office. He’s probably right, but that was tough for me to read!
Office Babies. Genius line.
hahaha, office babies.
i’d watch it. it sounds like a great idea. :)
I wish Office Babies was on when I was little.
Would Jan (now Ryan) be seen from only the knees down…?
I share everyone else’s sentiments with the line “office babies”–fantastic. But I suppose thats why he’s Greg Daniels and I’m Stephanie C.–just the person commenting on all the funny things he says. :)
I’ve also been subjected to outdoor activities in Chicago in the winter for work. Not fun, but if you’re from here, it’s not so terrible.
Office Babies. Love. It.
Office Babies, they’ll make your dreams come true….
