We don't need an Office spinoff.

I read the news online yesterday that NBC is in talks with Rainn Wilson aka Dwight Schrute from "The Office" about developing a spinoff based around Dwight and his beet farm Schrute Farms. Needless to say I was displeased as I am a rampant cynic and loathe cheesy network attempts to revive dead plot lines and characters.

The show is projected to air midseason 2013, and Paul Lieberstein aka Toby (also from "The Office") is involved in development and I imagine it'll be a steaming pile of horse shit. I'm sure it will have the worst promos known to man featuring Rainn with his big goofy head that makes me want to crack it open with a hammer. If you fail to share these feelings with me watch "The Rocker" and you will be on the same page.

There's no deal inked yet and the show is not a guarantee but if it does get made I envision it testing well because most people have horrible taste when it comes to television. The things that irks me the most about this spinoff idea is that "The Office" has clearly jumped the shark, James Spader is ok at best, and the show has really not been funny since Michael Scott (Steve Carell) left. So why the hell is NBC not working to make "The Office" funny again? It's also projected that "The Office" will in fact be returning next year for another laugh-less season. Perhaps we'll really luck out and Pam and Jim will have another quirky fucking kid.

I am a James Spader supporter, and I do find his character amusing, but the kind of role I expect him to play is his role in the movie "Crash" (the original nothing to do with the Oscar winner) starring Holly Hunter. It's a movie about people who have a strange sexual fetish that involves having sex near the scene of fatal car accidents. The concept is fucked, the cast is cool, the movie is way under the radar, and it's awesome. That's the kind of Spader I am interested in. His role as Robert California on "The Office" just doesn't make sense, kind of like Kathy Bates didn't make sense with her hacky Southern accent and her stupid dogs. They've both been stand-ins with about as much permanence as a henna tattoo.

I feel like NBC has some great shows "Parks and Recreation" uhhhh yeah that's kind of it. (I also secretly like "The Voice") Take a look at NBC's roster and tell me if you actually enjoy any of these garbage shows.

List of ways NBC could make "The Office" funny again.

1. Jim kills Pam and then himself.

2. Michael Scott comes back but every episode is based around his improv class and he writes, directs, and stars in "Threat Level Midnight II".

3. Kevin narrates every episode.

4. Creed becomes the boss and gets his own spinoff called "Creedence".

5. Ryan and Kelly become the main focus of the show and Kelly gets pregnant.

6. Todd Packer (David Koechner) is in every single episode drinking heavily.
