Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute's foray into television is less extensive; in 2010, Michael develops a cable access show entitled "Mike's World" in which he, assisted by Dwight, discusses hot-button topics of the day and includes a "Weather Report" in which he rates celebrities on their 'hotness' factor.
Despite being several weeks or sometimes months behind on the information, the show receives modest ratings for the 1:30-2:00 am time slot on the Scranton Today cable access channel 61.Only nine episodes air until they are sued for copyright infringement for opening the show with the phrase "Mike's World! Party time, excellent!" and the offer to change it to "Mike's World! Excellent! Party Time" is refused.
The plug is pulled and the show is canceled in January 2011. Copies of the nine episodes are rare, and DVDs have been known to fetch up to $249 on eBay.
