The ratings have been really solid for The Office this year. Far and away NBC’s highest rated scripted show in the demos. Great to see!
The Office is starting to beat “Grey’s” (It got the same demo, but less viewers) and that show has really fallen.
End on a high, though for season seven!
@ 47. jkfan9989 — I agree. That is weird. A LOT more people tuned in later. I guess people got bored with Grey’s half way through. haha
Woo-hoo! FINALLY beat Grey’s in 18-49! Way to go, Office!
Isn’t it weird that Delivery Part 2 had more overall viewers than Part 1?
Wow! Awesome Numbers which were better than “Niagara.” And it was on NBC.
Well this show isn’t going anywhere for a long time.
Good Numbers. Getting closer to competition…
However, I think that promotion on NBC is lackluster many times. I think “The Office” and “30 Rock” get good (not great) promotion, but “Community” and “Parks and Recreation” hardly get any.
Hope to see the numbers rise when “The Delivery” airs.
Considering The Office went against a MONSTER turnout for the Survivor Heroes vs Villains premiere, this is a good number.
Ratings were higher for the Xmas episode because there was no Grey’s Anatomy. Good to see a higher rating but don’t think it is going to be that way once Grey’s comes back.
The ratings will now be higher because they now use a different system to determine ratings. They finally include online viewings and DVR recordings.
Nice! Great ratings, great Christmas episode! Glad so many people were watching!
This season needs MORE Angela. Please, writers, if you’re reading this, write more Angela. She had more lines in the last episode, that’s why the ratings were higher (just kidding). Loved this season so far.
It figures, the one episode I’m not loving all that much, is number one in the ratings. Yay Office!
I can’t believe Grey’s still beats the Office. I’ll bet when you take into consideration DVR, the Office does better. The Office is still fresh for a lot of people; I’ve never even seen Grey’s but it’s hard to imagine that it brings in new viewers, just the die-hards.
Considering the monsters that The Office is up against at 9 pm (Grey’s, CSI), it’s amazing we get the numbers we do. I really think that a huge number of fans never watch it on TV at all, but prefer to tune in to the show in a different medium.
FYI, the updated ratings for the most recent episode have it as 8.046 Million and a 4.2 18-49 share…a small increase over last week’s!

Aww… I just looked over at the episodes coming up. No Office on November 26th :( It’s not Thanksgiving in Canada, lol
Anyway, I liked last night’s episode but it wasn’t my favourite of the season.
Actually, the numbers for this past Thursday’s episode are pretty great considering it was up against the World Series.
Apparently not everyone was as blown away by last week’s darkish humor…
Really really good numbers. Very impressive, this show is on fire this season.
Awesome, good bump in the rating. And the viewers tuned in to one of the best episodes of the last two years. That’s a positive sign.
