I was going to simply retweet this on @KnopeKnows, but then I thought, “Nah. Mose Schrute deserves his own post.”

In case you missed it, Mike Schur announced some great news via his Twitter account (@KenTremendous) today. Take a look!

Is Steve Carell really leaving The Office?

Knope Knows — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 20:53:02 +0000

Parks and Recreation will always be Knope Knows’ focus. However, from time to time I’ll slip in some noteworthy Office news.

From Watch With Kristin:

Steve Carell recently chatted with BBC Radio (you can hear the audio for yourself here) and revealed a sad truth: Michael Scott may in fact be vacating The Office after just one more year. After stating that his contract runs “through next season,” Carell said, “I think that will probably be my last year.”

So far, no word from NBC; however, one Office insider tells us, “This could be a negotiating ploy, but honestly, I don’t think so in this case.” We’re also told that it’s highly unlikely The Office would continue without the self-proclaimed “World’s Best Boss” (Michael Scott/Steve Carell).

Parks and Recreation is #2 in New York magazine’s list of 2009’s best TV

Knope Knows — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 05:22:05 +0000

In its annual list of the Best TV of 2009, Parks and Recreation and The office tied for #2!

From New York magazine:

The two mockumentaries are fascinating mirrors: One is about a bumptious male boss who dreams only of family, the other is about a bumptious female boss who aspires to be president. Both weave cringe comedy with humanistic sweetness, and while Parks and Recreation found its voice this season — especially in the case of Amy Poehler’s earnest clown — The Office also hit some brilliant notes, especially whenever it delved into the sick lunacy of the economic breakdown.

Here’s the complete list:

Mad Men
Parks and Recreation/The Office
Breaking Bad
Lost
Dexter
Modern Family/The Middle
30 Rock
True Blood
Big Love
United States of Tara

EXCLUSIVE: Office fanatic wants YOU for his premiere party

Knope Knows — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:09:45 +0000

Around this time last year, Office fan Adrian Hickman organized some viewing parties with NBC to coincide with the season five premiere — titled “Weight Loss” — of The Office.

This year, he says he’s working with NBC’s affiliate in Philadelphia to try to do it again — at least in Philly. He also plans to include the premiere of Parks and Recreation.

Here’s an exclusive note sent to Knope Knows from Adrian:

I need to know an approximate number for the party, so that I can set the reservation. Location will be in the King Of Prussia area, looking at Bahama Breeze, Champs, Dave And Busters, or Facenda Whitaker Lanes as some options. This area is easy to get to from just above anywhere: 15 minutes from Philly, about 90 from Central PA, 30 from Delaware and Jersey.

The cost is simply the cost of your meals and activities — whatever you choose to do.

I also need a head count if you are going to the NBC 10! SHOW in Philly that morning. This is a live audience show and they usually give something out to the audience.

We can sight see in Philly, and do stupid tourist stuff like RIDE THE DUCKS. We can also shop the amazing King Of Prussia Mall. This is open to anyone, and I hope to see you there.

Here’s a video report that aired on NBC 10 last year:

Another round of The Office?

Knope Knows — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 23:59:23 +0000

Reveille Productions acquired the rights to The Nightshift, Iceland’s number one comedy show about a group of employees who work the graveyard shift at a gas company. The show is said to the Icelandic version of The Office, as the series documents the characters’ struggles to interact with and be entertained by crazy customers.

Reveille previously adapted Britain’s The Office and Colombia’s Ugly Betty for American audiences.

Parks and Recreation will always be Knope Knows’ focus. However, from time to time I’ll slip in some noteworthy Office news.

NBC Universal signed a licensing deal with Hallmark, which includes the use of the media company’s film and TV content like The Office, 30 Rock and Battlestar Galactica.

The article doesn’t specifically mention Parks and Recreation, though the show is a production of NBC Universal and is likely a part of the deal.
