Tickets are only $10. What a deal to see some of our favorite Office ladies!

Which is great, because the more our community grows, the more support we can give our favorite show!

Life in the Office recently had the opportunity to talk to Bobby Ray Shafer.

Shafer has appeared in numerous TV shows and movies, but his most significant role to Office fans is that of Phyllis Smith’s devoted boyfriend, Bob Vance.

Read the full interview here.

Hollywood Reporter has a list of all 2005-2006 TV shows, ranked by viewership. The Office comes in at #67 out of 156 shows.

You can find the complete list here, and the accompanying story here, which describes the upcoming Thursday 8pm timeslot as an especially competitive one.

It will definitely be interesting to see how My Name is Earl and The Office fare against its rivals …
