This was the top-rated episode of “The Office” in both adults 18-49 and total viewers since the March 4 episode featuring the birth of Jim and Pam’s baby.

The Office DVR ratings, Season 6
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009 | 47 commentsAccording to Nielsen data compiled by TVByTheNumbers, The Office was the most DVRed show for the week of September 14-20. (So this refers to The Office Season 6 premiere, ‘Gossip.’)
The data shows that The Office amassed 3.7 million total DVR viewers, ranking the show #1 in “Largest DVR Audiences for Broadcast TV Shows.”
I know I contribute personally to that number — I watch it once live, and then at least 3-5 more times on my TiVo sometime during the following week. A few times for seeding OfficeTally’s quote randomizer, and then a few more times just for me. :)
It’s too bad there isn’t a total number that includes live viewing + DVR viewing + online viewing. I bet The Office would go through the roof then!
How about you? How do you watch The Office?
