      IIRC it was originally planned as a spinoff and Rashida Jones’s character had originally been considered to be Karen Filippelli, moved to Indiana. Of course I think it’s much better that they didn’t go with that idea and gave her a new character.

      Parks and Rec had the same production team as The Office and the concept came from NBC asking them to produce an Office spinoff.

      You’re right, it’s not a true spinoff. However it was the first shot at an Office spinoff.
