BGDC,

I wasn't kidding. I discovered he apparently created Buffy, which I've never watched. It hardly makes him a famous director. Don't know James Burrows either - can't be bothered googling him.

Shawn... it's guaranteed that TVS will pick up on WGAs... just wait about 2 or 3 days for someone to sift through someone else's blog post so they can post it and write about it here. Don't fret.

why is no one mentioning that the office writers won at the WGA last night. As did Steve Carell for writing the 'Casino Night' episode.

:)

Ugly Betty and Big Love also won last night. As did a Simpson episode.

c'mon tvsquad!

Derek,

I hope you're kidding. That's like saying you don't know who James Burrows is or Stephen J Cannell.

It's blog entries like this which will contribute to it being "the joss whedon episode".

... now I'm off to imdb to find out who Joss Whedon is (I never heard of him) ...

They missed the parts where Pam turns gay, Dwight is transformed into a giant snake monster, and Jim gets a chip in his head that keeps him from playing pranks.

Oh my God. So excited.

"Looking at the clips that go along with the interview though, I don't think the writers got that message. It looks like the Joss Whedon episode."

I think you missed the joke. The whole point and joke of the clip is that Whedon is talking about removing himself yet there is practically a blinking VAMPIRE SLAYER DIRECTOR title under his name. Meanwhile, the whole episode is supposedly about a vampire bat in the office. The whole time Whedon is talking about removing himself as a director yet it's the complete opposite. The clip was very tongue in cheek and very funny.
