EXCLUSIVE: Office fanatic wants YOU for his premiere party

Friday, September 4th, 2009

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?

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

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.

Take a peek inside what happens in the writers rooms of some of television’s top comedy programs, courtesy of an article in the L.A. Times.

Reporter Randee Dawn doesn’t speak to any Parks and Recreation people, but does interview Paul Lieberstein from The Office, as well as 30 Rock’s Tina Fey and Two and a Half Men’s Chuck Lorre.

On the way: Office greeting cards

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

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.
