JimBob2232 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I'm still trying to figure out who is leaving to be in the spin-off that will probably be a flop like the majority of popular show spinoffs these days. IMO spinoffs are unsuccessful because they are unbelievable. You cant just insert the same character into a completely different environment with none of his compadres and have it be believable. See Joey. Had the Joey spinoff had him stay in New York, brought along the "Friends" crew, and then slowly, one by one, had them move away and a new group of "Friends" come in...it would have worked.

ajzepp Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Anyone else notice the Mountain W that Pam was drinking? I did...I used to buy W pop by the friggin caseload. My buddy and I from back in the day had a place outside Rochester and we kept the fridge stocked with Wpop and Labbatts. Good times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Anyone else notice the Mountain W that Pam was drinking? I did. I don't think it's the first time we've noticed Wegman's products on the show. EDIT: Found this link to a Syracuse.com blog that talks about some of the other Wegman's products that have appeared in The Office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then there's shows like Frasier, most of the stuff that was a spinoff of Happy Days, the Jeffersons, SVU... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
