The producers of
The Office continue to amaze me with their attention to detail.
Last week's episode mentioned that Dwight's attempt at a side career -- his agro-hotel Schrute Farms -- had a listing on the popular travel ratings site TripAdvisor. Sure enough, someone at either the show or NBC had the wherewithal to work with the site to create
an actual listing for Schrute Farms, giving users the chance to rate and comment comment on it just as they would on a Hilton or Days Inn.
Our friends at Whedonesque
have pointed out an interesting addition to everyone's favorite reference site, IMDb: ratings!
Yes, I'm talking about the ubiquitous user ratings, which is one of the most popular parts of the site, but now they're applying them to TV series and episodes. And the fun part? You can see them grouped any way you want. Want to see the ratings achieved by every episode of every show Joss Whedon ever produced, for instance? Just click on the "by ratings" link in his profile, which gives you
these results. Want to know which Jennifer Aniston project was the most popular among the users?
You've got it (it's interesting that every
Friends episode is rated higher than any of her movies).
It's a weighted system, whose formula can be viewed at the
bottom of any ratings listing. I like it; any new way to kill time at work is aces in my book.
