Well, first off, all those "...that's what she said" jokes that Michael utters wouldn't seem so out of place.
Playboy TV has a new comedy (maybe NSFW) titled Canoga Park that they describe as an X-rated cross between The Office and Entourage. It's about the porn industry, and the channel says the show "does for premium television what Boogie Nights did for film: give the viewer side-splitting joyride through the adult film world and an intimate look at the smokin' hot characters who inhabit it."
Now, I've never seen a pornographic film, but I hear (though friends of mine who have actually seen one) that they involve naked people actually having sex on camera. Is that wild or what? I'll believe it when I see it.
You can see a sneak peek of the show tonight. The series officially starts next Friday night at 10pm.
So readers, finish this sentence (but please stay within the realm of good taste): "If The Office was set in the porn industry, then..."

...when Michael says "That's what she said" it would really be what she said.

go watch "the Business" on the IFC channel. Same premise as the office, but the background is the indy movie scene. the producer is a former porno mogul who is trying to go legit. not as graphic as the playboy project might be, but I'll bet you it's better acted

As someone in "the biz" I can tell you that it would be exactly the same - except you'd get tired of what you're selling a LOT quicker.

Actually, Brian Kocis, the owner of gay porn studio Cobra who was murdered earlier this year, lived near Wilkes-Barre. I'm sure there are more small porn operations in unlikely places all around the country.
And yes, when I read this I immediately thought of "The Business" on IFC.

If The Office was about the porn industry, we would see Pam, Angela and Jan in a three-way every week.
I'll be in my bunk! :)

Canoga Park, my home town, is a community in the San Fernando Valley, home to much of this country's porn industry.

I'd like to see it, but I don't want to have to pay for the whole channel subscription. I really liked the reality show "Family Business", and a scripted version with clueless employees sounds pretty funny.
What's weird is when I go to Playboy.com/playboytv I can't find a single mention of it anywhere. Maybe it'll be avail on itunes...not.

I don't know who told you it's on this Friday, but I do not see it in the listings, on multiple sites and on my DVR.

hoenstly i've never watched this show but since i live in scranton within walking distance of where this is suppose to distance i figure i'll post for shiz an giggles, if it was about porn the place would go out of buisness immediately, this valley is full of some unsighlty people and your liucky if you can find a street corner...........you know what i mean hehe. there is no porn industry here but paul sorvino did want to build a film production studio down the road from me until gov rendell shat all over that idea......get me out of scranton or leave me here and take scranton out of the nice scenery
these pictures are all from the scranton area
nothing of down town yet (wtch is only about 4 miles squared) but ill get some up eventually
