so why not extend the season into the summer and recapture some of the lost advertising revenue?

you’ll have a hard time making any money off the DVD for season three with so few episodes….and even though the strike was problematic and not scheduled time off — it was still time off…surely you had time to write during the strike…produce more than 6 shows….

most fans have already seen every previous episode so reruns are worthless during the summer…

without 30 Rock and The Office NBC is “DOA”…

why don’t you make 10 or 12 episodes…

keep in mind that a good thing will not last forever…and remember guys, history will most likely show and prove that “The Office” will be the biggest hit for all involved…yes, there are other roles for the actors, etc…but you are locked in now, just like every other famous sitcom star — like it or it….

why not be the best show ever?

I’m so glad you are all back and working and doing what you love to do (and what we love you to do, of course!) April 10th is a long ways off, but it will be well worth the wait. Welcome back and thanks for the nice letter. We know you recognize and appreciate the fans and that is just so darn cool!

Thanks for the letter, “Office” writers! Can’t wait for April and to see where the season takes us. Glad this is finally resolved and everyone can get back to work and us die-hard fans can get back to obsessing and loving the show! We have missed you!

Thanks for the wonderful letter! You’ve created such great stories and so many hours of awesome entertainment. Hands down you are the best comedy writers on television right now and anyone with half a brain knows that for a fact. You’ve been so missed and I’m so glad you’re back!

Thanks for the update; we’re so glad you seem to have reached a satisfactory resolution!

My fondest desire for the last six episodes is a call back to flonkerton.

I love that the writers took the time to write this letter to us fans! I have missed my Office terribly, but I am glad that the writers stood up for themselves and got what was rightfully theirs. It’s been a long, hard wait (TWSS), but that’s okay, my Office is coming back!

Thank you Office writers for a fabulously written, wonderfully smart, and incredibly funny show! I can’t wait to see what you come up with next!

The writers are great.

I’m just bummed that we’re only getting six more episodes this season :(

Thanks so much to the wonderful and enormously talented writers at The Office. I told my husband that I have now divided the near future into events that occur before and after the return of The Office on 4/10. I can’t wait! :-)

We’re also planning a dinner party to celebrate the Dinner Party like ‘counting the days’ suggests. On the menu will be Talking Rain seltzer water!

Welcome Back!!! It’s great to have new episodes to look forward to as well to know progress has been made on the internet front in terms of revenue recognition and compensation. I know it’s not perfect, but most definitely progress and will set the stage for future progress. I can hardly wait until April!!!! Good times are here again!!!
