A couple of weeks ago we
advised you that Jenna Fischer of NBC's
The Office had posted on her blog some info about the upcoming second season DVD release. She said that the package would be available around
September, and talked about extras planned, including Commentary Tracks and some Home Movie Footage that she herself shot.
Now another cast member, Angela Kinsey (whose character has the same first name, "Angela"), has
posted on her own blog a bunch of info related to the DVDs. It was posted this past Thursday, June 15th:
Well I have a little bit of scoop for you about the Season 2 DVD. We all worked on the commentary this past week. It was great to see everyone. Doing commentary is kinda random. You sit in a cirlce [sic] at a big table facing each other. With a big microphone in front of you and a tv. They play the episode and you watch it and comment on stuff. Sometimes I'd say something and think, "Oh for goodness sakes, why'd I say that?! Who's gonna care about that tidbit?!" But we did laugh a lot. I think you can tell how much we really enjoy each other and what we get to do for a living. Now here's some scoop. . . I've been told the Season 2 DVD will have hours of deleted scenes that have never been shown anywhere and are really funny, the webisodes, the psas, the olympic promos, the commentaries, basically hours and hours of extras on a four disc set. Also Jenna shot a lot of behind the scenes footage with her camcorder and some of that is supposed to be on there as well. It should hit the stores in September a few weeks before our Season 3 starts!
The webisodes are set to start airing on nbc.com on July 13th. They are about 2 minutes in length. There are ten and they will air one a week for ten weeks---I believe. Again they feature the supporting cast. Kevin, Oscar, Phyllis, Meredith, Stanley, Roy, Jan, Angela and a cameo by Dwight.
So there you have it! Our thanks to readers Kyle, Christopher and Jackie for their separate e-mails alerting us about this. Stay tuned and we'll probably have Universal's official announcement for this in the next few weeks (since they are already announcing their September DVD slate).
