NBC.com to create a serialized Parks and Recreation web series

Monday, June 21st, 2010

New web-only Parks and Recreation content is on the way, thanks to NBC.com!

The digital label is enlisting its online team to write serialized web series for Parks and Recreation and other NBC primetime programming like The Office and Community. Web Series Network notes that the web writers will be separate from the staff writers who write for primetime.

From Web Series Network:

Mike Schur, executive producer of ‘Parks and Recreation’ says he meets regularly with the online team to make sure the storylines are in tune with the shows happenings. “It’s definitely worth spending the time on,” said Schurr. “In this day and age, fans are getting savvier and demand more for their entertainment time, so you have to be giving them more. You can’t just air your show anymore.”

The Hollywood Reporter profiles the Parks and Recreation writers

Saturday, June 5th, 2010

Get to know the writers of Parks and Recreation with this article in The Hollywood Reporter! A snippet of the article appears below. Click the “source” link for the full version.

From The Hollywood Reporter:

The team’s collective resume includes gigs writing for “Late Night With Conan O’Brien,” “Saturday Night Live,” “The Sarah Silverman Program,” “Hung,” “Mad TV,” “King of the Hill,” “The Office,” “South Park,” “The Daily Show” and “Human Giant.”

Not surprisingly, in person, the team comes across as quirky as the City of Pawnee’s staff.

Without anyone inquiring, Goor will proffer the nutritional info of his microwaved sweet potato; dapper Alan Yang will share stories of his late-night escapades as a single guy; and petite Katie Dippold will blurt out-of-nowhere prognostications like “There’s going to be an earthquake tonight,” earning her the title of “the weirdest person in the room” by her fellow scribes.
