Believe it or not, this is actually good news, because remember when NBC tried turning Friends into Joey? Yeah. Exactly.
After NBC's poorly-watched flagship series The Office bows out at the end of this year, certain fans were excited to hear that the network was considering a spinoff featuring the comedy's breakout star and character, Rainn Wilson as Dwight Schrute. The show, titled The Farm, would focus on Dwight's return to nature with his wacky family- alas, the Peacock got a viewing of the pilot, said "WTF?!", and decided to nix it on the spot.
"Farm Update: NBC has passed on moving forward with The Farm TV show," Rainn tweeted. "Had a blast making the pilot - onwards & upwards!" Sources confirm that though the show hasn't been picked up for more episodes, the pilot will air in early 2013 as a special episode of The Office as it continues winding down its final season, airing its series finale in May.
