Will Rainn Wilson get his own spin-off?

I hope its not several years for The Office. All I want to see arr two more seasons, otherwise it will peak and the core fans who love the show will find a new comedy to enjoy. Gervais and Merchant ended the original Office for a few reasons and I wouldn't want to see this show dragged out like so many network shows and eventually have to end because the ratings have fallen.

I'm all for a "Dwight, After Dark" or "Dwight Schrute: PI" mini-series. Or maybe a few webisodes. Taking Dwight away from Dunder-Mifflin though would be a huge mistake.

#10 - brilliant. A day in the life of Dwight when he's alone. That's freaking genius.

They should try it out first with an Office Special, or just an episode devoted to Dwight. Something like everyone goes on a trip and Dwight is the only one around to film, so it's a day in the life of Dwight.
At least give him a small start, instead of blowing off a whole series; test it out first.

Terrible, terrible idea. I'd watch it and love it, but TV comedies almost never succeed without a likable main character. Self centered (Jerry Seinfeld), snobbish (Frasier Crane), moronic (Homer Simpson) are fine, as long as they're someone you might enjoy hanging out with. And Dwight is not someone like that at all.

Frasier only started AFTER Cheers was over, and Frasier was really a secondary character. They really could make his life broader with his own show. What can they possibly do with Dwight that could be funny and interesting for a half hour?

If it happens after The Office is off the air its fine with me.

Meh... I'm pretty cold to the idea overall. Seems a shade too close to that much-maligned friends spin-off Joey. I could see it working as a between-seasons micro or mini-series, like what Galactica is going to air in November. A sort of side story to whet your appetite and keep you interested in that wasteland after a season ends but before the next one begins. 1 or two one hour specials. The Schrute Chronicles, maybe? Could even be referenced on the next season.

I would like to see Rainn Wilson do more with characters that are similar to his character Arthur on Six Feet Under (and not in a spin-off).

You wanna try it? Go ahead, but wait for the end of the office. That way, if it's a disaster, then at least we won't have lost a key element of the original show.
