‘The Office’ runneth over
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008 | 33 commentsLooks like we get some extra minutes of Office goodness for the next few weeks.
My contacts at NBC have confirmed that the next three episodes, Night Out, Did I Stutter? and Job Fair, will run a minute or two over its normal air time. (My TiVo programming guide states The Office will run from 9pm to 9:32pm).
Tallyheads, adjust your TV recording devices accordingly!
Apparently, last week’s episode, Chair Model, also ran long, and my TiVo got confused and didn’t record the tag (the final scene at the cemetery). Grrr.

Kerri - Thanks so much. Very helpful.
Ahh I know! I was so disappointed that I missed out on the last few seconds of Michael’s horrific rendition of “American Pie”. From what I did see though, he was really getting ready to belt it out….
I always program my DVR to start 1 minute before and end 1 minute after on regular Office airings, as a CYA. :D
Now i’ll make it till 9:33pm or even 9:34pm just to make sure! Thanks OT
It’s really nice of them to tell us about it beforehand.
Guess taping by VCR comes in handy! No worries over timing it perfectly. Man, I remember taping LOST on a set time, and it went over about 5 minutes. With that show, missing a little bit can have terrible consequences… haha :)
The Office is 1st priority on my Dish dvr, and I always have it start 2 minutes early and end 5 minutes late. But with this information…I’m not taking any chances…I’m changing it to 7 minutes late!
I have it permanently set to record an extra 5 minutes every episode.. I learned my lesson from season 3 haha
Yeah, I’m a klumsy typist. I meant 8:33p.
Thanks for the heads up! I need every minute of my Office!
Weird. I missed the first minute or two.. Mine runs 7:58 - 8:03p.
Thank you, Kerri! I, too, missed part of the cemetery scene last week.
Hi Comcast customers! When you schedule a recording using your DVR there is an option to control how many minutes early or late a recording goes. Hit MY DVR, then go to series priority (since you probably have The Office scheduled already). Find The Office and hit OK. Then hit the wrench icon - this is where you can modify the recordings. Hit the wrench again to view all settings. The last two options are where you can set how early and late you want your recording to go. The Comcast menu shows the office going until 9:31, but I set mine to record 4 minutes late, just in case. :)
I always have The Office set to record a few minutes long. Don’t wanna miss a thing!
Good thing I set my DVR for a couple minutes later, I caught it too! Thanks for the update though, I will program my DVR accordingly for the next episodes!
Yeah, I noticed the longer episodes too. I think Dinner Party should have run past too! I kept the DVR running, but it was just credits. Grr…
I’ve noticed that this bumps 30 Rock over a minute or two, interfering with Lost. Curse you, NBC! Why must you mess with me like this? Just pick a half hour slot and stick to it! (put bonus scenes online, duh!)
Thanks for the heads up! Will try to fix that on my DVR!
Fortunately, the tag showed up at the beginning of Scrubs on my DVR (although I now have to save Scrubs until the Season 4 DVD comes out). Sara in Philly, I have Comcast, too (I’m in NJ). If you figure out how to adjust the time, please add a comment. I’m technologically challenged.
Thanks for advance notice! Now let’s all pray to Thor that the weather doesn’t interfere with our satellite connections!
On top of the extra minutes, they also played the short credits in the beginning. They’re squeezing every bit of OFFICE possible into that half hour.
KEEP IT COMING NBC!!!
