From today’s NBC press release:
NBC has renewed three more of its Thursday-night comedies – “30 Rock” (9:30-10 p.m. ET), “The Office” (9-9:30 p.m. ET) and the freshman series “Community” (8-8:30 p.m. ET) for the 2010-11 season. The returning programs join the previously announced “Parks and Recreation” (Thursdays, 8:30-9 p.m. ET) that also will return for next season.
Currently in its sixth season, “The Office” is network television’s #1 primetime scripted series among adults 18-34 and is NBC’s #1 scripted series in the key demographic of adults 18-49. “The Office” regularly finishes #2 in its highly competitive time period in adults 18-49 ahead of CBS’s “CSI.” The most recent “Office” telecast on March 4 outscored ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy,” marking the first time “The Office” has topped “Grey’s” head-to-head in adults 18-49. For the season through 23 weeks, “The Office” is averaging a 4.9 rating, 12 share in adults 18-49 and 9.4 million viewers overall, representing gains versus last season of 4 percent in 18-49 and 3 percent in total viewers.
Congratulations! :)

If they made Todd Packer the boss of that branch I would probably quit watching unless he was just a recurring character. Every sequence that includes him saddens me.
I too am a die-hard Office fan. My heart is broken over Steve Carell leaving, and I agree that the only replacement possible could be Ricky Gervais. I love every single episode, what a brilliant team the writers are, and the actors are just so loveable! I wish I worked in ‘The Office’. Don’t ever stop!
The Office is hands down the greatest show I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch. I am a die-hard fan. And it hurts me when everyone says things about how the storylines in the new seasons suck. I admit that other seasons were better than season 6, but these are still the characters we love and we have to keep up support if we want the show to flourish. And you also have to remember that changes are bound to occur and with that we have to expect different storylines.
The show lost its oooomph when jim became more serious with his promotion. I noticed in season 6 there was much less fun. Everything was serious. Far fewer pranks on dwight and andy. There was too much focus on love. 5 relationships to focus on is a bore. It was good when it was pam and jim and michaels horrible failures and kelly and ryan being ridiculous. that extra relationship kicked it over the edge. Get back to pranks and people will enjoy the story line even more!
More Meredith, More Creed!!
I have the only person who can actually replace Michael Scott as Regional Manager….. Todd Packer, think about how funny he would be as the new boss.
My problem with season 6 is that Michael and Dwight weren’t friends and that ruined two of the best characters on the show. Now that they are friends again I hope they will have their usual shenanigans in season 7
If Jane Lynch became a regular on this show I would never watch it again, and I am a die-hard Office fan
Jane lynch would be great replacement for steve
Can somebody reassure me about this series? We all like it, most of us love it. But, let’s be honest. Season 2 was legendary; season 3 was great (arguably as good as season 2, per some). Season 4 was consistently very good. Season 5, which is also when I notice inconsistency in the creative staff, saw the first off-season of the show, but it was 70% good and had a great arc in MSPC. Then, season 6 happened- pointless cold opens, the single-lamest finale to-date, no heavy stakes, little in heart-felt moments (aside from weddings and babies), and just honestly— the first season of the show I thought wasn’t good.
Please… tell me these actors whose names have grown will commit to a great season 7 and get this series back on track. In all honesty, even THEY have to realize the quality’s diminishing. I WANT THIS TO BE A GREAT SHOW AGAIN- starting season 7.
The office is the best show ever.
Best characters
Best personality
Best writers
Best Music
Greetings from Belgium
Season seven will be steve carell’s last office season
the strangler is in the first season. and season seven is going to be amazing…
The office is the best show ever. Steve Carell is the heart of the show and if he leaves….well the show would be lost. Even so the other characters are very funny!!!!!!…….long live the office!!!!
Great show, Ed Helms was a great addition. Ellie Kemper’s been good too. Who will end up being the Scranton Strangler? The obvious choice is Creed but….I’d put money on the guy Michael fired in Season 1 (Devon).
If they make some quality casting moves,it could go past next year. Then again, I’m not sure it can go on that long (that’s what she said).
peace and love to the writers…love the writers!
can’t WAIT for season 7! wonder what the writers will come up with next…almost all the episodes always surprise me. fantastic job!
A. Greg Daniels spends time with both shows.
B. Merchant directed an episode last year (after Goodbye Toby) and did a commentary for the episode where he went on and on about how much fun he had.
This was by far the worst season of the show. Losing GD and Mose to P&R has been debilitating and the show has gone downhill since. The show should have ended with “Goodbye Toby” but with Jim and Pam engaged. They would have had resolution for JAM and hope for Michael. Gervais and Merchant were smart enough to know when to walk away. When Steve Carell leaves, the Office has to end – there can be no Office without the Scott/Brent character.
I would LOVE to see The Office reach 9 seasons and tie with Seinfeld. However, I feel that if Steve Carell leaves the show it will lose its humor and it will be cancelled very quickly.
I didn’t read all of the comments but i heard this next season is Steve Carell’s last. Really upsetting, but by the time it’s over i’ll be able to drink the Thursday nights away(after Community,30 Rock,and Parks and Rec, of course.)
Also if The Office went on as long The Simpsons, we’d be following their retirement, and Creed’s 1 hr long funeral episode.
