There aren't any new episodes of The Office until April, so we'll be seeing some reruns. But they're only kind of reruns...apparently NBC is changing up the episodes by recutting them to include some deleted scenes.

Next week the network is going to show two repeats of The Office. But instead of just airing them as they aired before, they're going to be recut into an hour-long episode, mixed up a little bit and with deleted scenes added to put in a whole new subplot that you didn't see in the first airings of the episodes. They're dubbing them "Newpeats."

Sorta sounds like a mix tape or using the shuffle feature on iTunes. My question is: will viewers like this? Will the directors of the episodes like it (assuming they're not part of the remix). Or will fans consider it cheating? Personally, I think it's a neat way to watch the episodes again. I mean, they're going to show the reruns anyway, so maybe this is a chance to show deleted scenes again and see what the episode looks if remixed.

I'm with the writer of the article. It's an interesting idea, and it will make watching reruns more interesting. Not that I would mind even regular reruns of The Office...the episodes are definitely re-watchable.
