‘The Office’ to stream free on NBC.com

While no official announcement has been made yet, I have been told that Season 4 episodes of The Office will stream free on NBC.com, starting September 27th!

Episodes will be viewable online after they air on the West Coast, with limited commercial interruption. (Similar to what they do now with Friday Night Lights.)

Update: here’s a screenshot, courtesy of NBC.com. Looks pretty good, no?

   To all those international fans, try http://www.hulu.com. They stream the same five episodes of the current season that NBC.com does. If this only works in the US, Hulu also has a feature on MyspaceTV. Try that.

   Have any Canadians figured out a way to watch episodes online? NBC’s website tells me that the episodes are not available in my area, and I am sad.

   So, wait, how am I not able to view tonight’s episode online? I thought they were supposed to start today . . .
   And I can’t find anything anywhere about this whole file downloading thing, except that it’s been mentioned in their press release.
   Lame.

   For all people concerned about NBC streaming the Office.

   In October, NBC will start offering downloads as well. You will be able to download last weeks show for 7 days after it airs, with built in commercials- for free.

   Re:Ziggy
   I don’t know if anyone is still reading this topic or not? I telephoned Global and received a very friendly call back. Unfortunately, as we suspected, there are no plans to show The Office episodes on Global’s site for the current year.

   From the article I read, it sounds as if only the 2007 season is going to be free and then in 2008 they are going to transition into a subscription/rental program. I’d rather buy it off itunes then stream it and something tells me NBC is going to raise their price above 1.99 trying to get all the money they can out of Heroes and The Office.

   I really liked being able to watch it on my computer, ipod, or TV. Streaming is really lame, especially when you HAVE to watch the same ad 50 times.

   Well, as someone is not an iFan, this makes me happy! I hope it is going to be like the other NBC shows that are veiwable online– i.e. not just random episodes.

   will this be available outside the US?

   just found out today that the R2 Season Two DVD has been put back once again, this time to January 28th :-O

    That screenshot is from The Return last season, right before he stands up and Pam drops the phone into his hand.

    The only reason that screenshot looks good to me is because it features my future husband. It still makes me cry inside that I won’t be able to watch it.

    NBC had the entire season of Heroes all the way to the end of the summer.

    I’m sure they won’t limit the Office to whatever random episodes they’re promoting that week.

    …and the video quality’s not bad either :)

    Yeah some of you are hitting the nail on the head, this is way more about freedom to watch The Office by getting to own the episodes we want right away at a pace no DVD release could match, since we are getting them as the season goes on. Well not anymore. NBC will only be providing random Office eps that they want to hype for that particular week. And iTunes eps had multiple avenues, they could go to TV on the little talked about Apple TV and to the TV with the iPod AV cable, as well as ya know watching it on the computer or iPod. NBC is plain greedy and wants too much control over how we get to see their stuff. All this does is drive everyone even more so back to piracy.

    Thanks for all the info! NBC seems like they are really trying to make the effort here by making the quality of picture a lot better than it is now.

    Sorry! I got distracted.. okay, the global website is http://www.canada.com/globaltv/globalshows/theoffice/index.html

    It is.. completely useless. It doesn’t even really have pictures or clips or anything. So I’m kind of thinking that we’re out of luck ): I’ll email them and ask anyway, I’ll let you guys know if/when I get a response.
