Office Relocation Spinoff of "The Office" highlights new NBC shows NBC will launch a spinoff of its popular workplace comedy "The Office" following the broadcast of the National Football League's Super Bowl championship next February, the network said on Wednesday. |

I'm not sure why ours worked and worked so well. Maybe we where lucky or maybe it's because we are still involved." | ||
