The Office is a bit underrated in the TV world. We need more viewers!
131 | Pam Scherbatsky Thu. May. 29, 2008 at 4:34pmSo if I am reading this correctly, only 5.8 million people watched the office finale live? Yikes NBC
130 | Adam Wed. May. 28, 2008 at 7:58pmI love looking at the recording numbers and thinking mine was one of those DVRs! I would die without my DVR…
129 | kate Wed. May. 28, 2008 at 4:38pmYay! Most-viewed finale! (right?)
128 | Alison Fri. May. 16, 2008 at 8:20pmMore viewers! Probably because of last week’s absurd Grey’s Anatomy. But we deserve it.
127 | Pam Scherbatsky Sat. May. 3, 2008 at 2:49pmLike LovesItalianFood, I’m loving each second of the post-strike episodes too! (Awww…only two more weeks till the end of the season? Too soon!) Anyway, I think “The Office” is doing great, creatively and ratings-wise. Berman keeps listing it under “Winners”, and for good reason: it’s practically an island of high-demo performance for NBC on a tough night, in a brutal timeslot, and with practically no support or help from a lead-in (or lead-out) at all (no offense to “Scrubs” or “30 Rock”).
126 | _bales Sat. May. 3, 2008 at 1:13pmMy guess is that viewership ratings are down overall since the strike, and that the ratings for The Office were artificially inflated for the first couple of weeks because it was the *only* thing on (whereas, usually, it is not).
Here’s hoping the ratings go back up, though!
125 | LL Fri. May. 2, 2008 at 4:49pmI’m of a different opinion - I don’t think the shows have been as crisp or as well written since the writer’s strike. Michael seems to be searching for his theme and the attempt at interspersed seriousness
124 | g friedrichs Fri. May. 2, 2008 at 11:55am(Stanley stutter) undercuts the wackiness of the premise and the characters. Maybe THAT’s why viewership is off.
I cannot say this enough….
The post-strike episodes are AWESOME!!!!!
Tips cap to the Office writing staff.
123 | LovesItalianFood Fri. May. 2, 2008 at 10:41amMediaWeek has an interesting bit on the ratings - comparing year over year, The Office still beat 30 Rock’s performance in the 9:00 time slot even against the new episodes of Grey’s and CSI. So even with the full point drop for The Office week over week, it’s still doing well for NBC, and especially with younger viewers.

122 | TobyFan Mon. Apr. 28, 2008 at 8:51amI love ‘the office’ (my favorite show ever).. However, I was watching the NBA play-offs. Most of the people that I know were doing the same thing. Pretty simple explanation. Grey’s blows.
121 | the zoppity Mon. Apr. 28, 2008 at 7:42amWow, that’s strange. Viewers drop. It was a strange episode, though.
120 | Pam Scherbatsky Sun. Apr. 27, 2008 at 2:13pmI still will never understand why they put The Office up against Grey’s. If it was up against something else it would probably win in it’s time slot.
119 | wesley ward Fri. Apr. 25, 2008 at 8:23pmI bet the DVR viewer rating will be a big boost to the ratings. I wasn’t home last night to watch it, but many people who watched Grey’s were. We’ll all be watching it on the DVR.
118 | JJ Fri. Apr. 25, 2008 at 6:52pmIn addition to NBA there was also NHL playoffs. It’s funny someone mentioned it being a holiday yesterday. My mail came 3 hours later than it normally would have and my brother came in and said “Is today a holiday or something?” 3 Day weekend!
117 | dustin Fri. Apr. 25, 2008 at 4:14pmWould the NBA Playoffs have anything to do with the drop in viewers?
116 | Mike Fri. Apr. 25, 2008 at 3:55pmThe low numbers weren’t all because of CSI and Greys. In fact, both CSI and Greys had 4 million viewers less than the usually get. The Office couldn’t have lost too many viewers to these shows.
All across the night, numbers were down. Was there some holiday I missed?
Maybe Nielsen forgot to count a region or something…
115 | Matt#2 Fri. Apr. 25, 2008 at 3:26pmI actually love grey’s anatomy..but i made the obvious choice in watching the office rather than grey’s…grey’s can wait =) haha
114 | Sol Fri. Apr. 25, 2008 at 3:21pmDon’t people know, you’re supposed to watch The Office first, then watch Grey’s Anatomy so you can fast forward through the majority of commercials in the first half hour, then rewatch The Office.
113 | Danielle Fri. Apr. 25, 2008 at 3:19pmIt’s sad that a lame show like Grey’s Anatomy is viewed more than The Office.
