It's true that it happened because P&R got Great, but an Office lead-in is never going to be that beneficial for a show that uses such a similar format - it's always going to be cast off as a rip-off or an inferior.

It really would be! Especially considering they've already got episodes in the can, and filmed these under the impression that they would be airing in September. After the rubbish they pulled with the late night stuff earlier this year, I'm feeling a little annoyed with the network as a whole right now.
