COZI TV Celebrates April Fools with Pranks; HBO Comedy Gets 4th Season

Fans of The Office still wondering "what kind of bear is best" can tune into COZI TV on Sunday, March 31 for a special, pre-April Fool's Day "Prank-a-Thon" starting at 1 PM ET on Sunday, March 31 (check local listings). The marathon will include 22 of the most memorable episodes filled with every cunning, elaborate and outrageous prank from the iconic television sitcom - usually at Dwight's expense. Jim Halpert, played by John Krasinski, is a salesman at Dunder Mifflin and the office prankster while Dwight Schrute, played by Rainn Wilson, is the over-the-top assistant to the regional manager and the victim of most of Jim's pranks. Some of Jim's iconic pranks include encasing Dwight's stapler in Jell-O, covering Dwight’s desk in wrapping paper (or did he?) and convincing Dwight that he's being recruited to join the CIA.

The Office premiered on NBC in 2005 and ran for 201 total episodes of nine seasons. The series was based on the British series of the same name. The Office won several awards during its run, including five Emmy Awards. The series helped to launch the careers of Krasinski and Wilson, along with Steve Carell, Jenna Fischer and B.J. Novak. The show was lauded for its trademark deadpan delivery, and it helped to popularize the "mockumentary" style in American television.

High Maintenance

Following the debut of the third-season finale on March 17, the comedy series High Maintenance has been renewed for a fourth season for HBO. Created by Katja Blichfeld (Emmy(R)-winning casting director of 30 Rock) and Ben Sinclair (Home Again, Sisters), the critically acclaimed show uses The Guy, a marijuana dealer (played by Sinclair), to tell a variety of stories about New York lives. High Maintenance paints a uniquely authentic portrait of New York with empathy and insight, telling amusing, surprising, sometimes moving and always poignant tales of denizens who are usually just faces on the crowded sidewalks of Brooklyn. The series is executive produced by Katja Blichfeld, Ben Sinclair and Russell Gregory.
