Idk that Dwight episode that served as a back door pilot was pretty awful
Good idea, terrible pilot. One of the worst.
„it’s a show based around clueless, insensitive, racist, sexist people that kind of mirrors the United States in a lot of ways.“
bullseye, Mr Wilson
At one time people also thought the Friend’s spinoff Joey was going to be a surefire hit too.
A Dwight spin-off would probably not have lasted more than a season or two.
Actor upset about not getting work. More at 11.
As others have mentioned, the backdoor pilot episode “The Farm” was horrible and tonally jarring. But also, if the pilot were picked up, Dwigt and Angela wouldn’t have been endgame, so for that reason alone, I’m glad it was dead on arrival.
Sitcom spinoffs following a side character that would only work as a side character do not have a good track record. There’s no way this show would have lasted more than two seasons.
Ya, just look at all they money that Friends spinoff about Joey made! Hollywood never learns
Guys, Young Sheldon made everyone involved a billionaire. A Dwight spinoff would have done fine.
This only works if they incorporate others characters into it. That family of his they introduce are literally insufferable that episode
Billions seems really really optimistic
The Office was offensive as satire, which it did pretty well on a subversive level unlike more in your face satire might do.
As much as I like the Dwight character, i can’t see him carrying his own show. Nothing against the actor, he was great, but the show itself worked because of how everyone played off each other. Dwight, when he briefly had the lead, kind of ran his course of interesting character arcs.
This is such a Dwight thing to say.
