So let me get this straight, Greg (can I call you Greg?). You want The Office... and a spinoff of The Office... and a totally new show that has nothing to do with The Office but is by the same production team and is similar "in spirit" or something? I'm confused, and I don't think this is a very good idea...
however, though I wasn't around then, I can't imagine people were too thrilled, in, I dunno, late 2004/early 2005 when you were like "hey!!! we're remaking the unbelievably venerated British Office!!! with this random guy from The Daily Show*, this other guy from the blockbuster House of 1000 Corpses, the guy who didn't know what oral sex was in Kinsey, and some ginger chick who you've never heard of!!!!" We'll see.
* Steve Carell also stole the show in Anchorman and Bruce Almighty, but nobody really remembered him until 4oYOV hit it big. And, for that at least, I'll always be grateful to that awful movie.
