“THE OFFICE” BRANCHES OUT 5 DAYS A WEEK IN
NATIONAL SYNDICATIONViewers Can Watch The Award-Winning Comedy From The Beginning Starting September 21
UNIVERSAL CITY, CA — September 1, 2009 — The hit comedy “The Office” is set to debut in national syndication and fans can catch all the hilarious moments from the start on local broadcast stations starting Monday, September 21 (see local station information below).
NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution has sold “The Office” in more than 98% of the U.S. for its off-network syndication debut.
Much like the iconic sitcom “Seinfeld’s” impact on popular culture, “The Office” has ushered in a new generation of comedy fans with its classic episodes like “Diversity Day,” “The Merger,” “Casino Night” and “The Dundies,” and it’s made catch phrases such as “That’s What She Said” and “Big Tuna” part of the lexicon.
Since its premiere on NBC in March 2005, “The Office” has established itself as a genuine hit, earning prestigious television honors such as the 2006 Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series, 2006 Peabody Award, 2006 and 2008 AFI Honor, Producers Guild Award, Writers Guild Award, SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy, Ace Eddie Award for editing and a Television Critic’s Association Award for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy. And “The Office” was recently nominated for ten Emmy Awards for its 2008-2009 season, including Outstanding Comedy Series.
“I think ‘The Office’ will play well in syndication because it’s a character comedy and it’s pretty dense with humor and story,” says “The Office’” Executive Producer, Greg Daniels. “Steve Carell and the ensemble cast are mostly from improv backgrounds and they do a lot of funny stuff when they are just listening or barely on camera, so there are really great moments that you only catch on multiple viewings.”
“The Office” has been NBC’s top-rated comedy for the last three years and has grown its audience each season, including double-digit growth during the 2008-2009 TV season. The series grew 14% in Adults 18-34, 14% in Adults 18-49 and 17% in Adults 25-54 vs. last season and it improved on its lead-in by 96% in Adults 18-49, the most growth over a network show of any sitcom on any network, according to Nielsen Media Research.
A fly-on-the-wall comedy about modern American office life, “The Office” delves into the lives of the workers at Dunder Mifflin paper supply-company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Regional manager Michael Scott (Golden Globe winner and Emmy nominee Steve Carell, “Get Smart,” “Little Miss Sunshine”) is a single, middle-aged man who is the boastful tour guide for the documentary.
“The Office” is executive-produced by Ben Silverman, Greg Daniels, who developed the series for American audiences, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Howard Klein and Paul Lieberstein.
“The Office” is produced by Reveille, Universal Media Studios and Deedle-Dee Productions and distributed in national syndication by NBC Universal Domestic Television Distribution.

it’s on MY13 every night at 7:30 PM
Hey! I saw today that my local station is now broadcasting the show in HD! It used to be letterboxed, but now it’s in full glorious HD! I’ll update if it changes :D
Another weird syndication edit comes from The Fire. They bleep Michael saying “effin” when he tells Ryan he is “so effin smart”.
Yes, I noticed that to. In CT, on channel 11 it shows, and TBS every night they show it. Why would they be allowed to say bitch but not “bone”?
Also……is Dwight a republican?
It’s 2009, and we’re bleeping “boner”. Wow.
They showed Email surveillance around 2 days ago, and my heart broke when they bleeped packer’s “What has two thumbs and loves bangin’ your mom” (something like that I can’t remember and michael’s “the only thing I’m worried about is…gettin’ a boner”, where “Boner” was bleeped :’( any other noticeable edits?
Isn’t it GREAT is it to see The Office on TV 5 nights a week?
My daughter didn’t see what the big deal was…”But you have it all on DVD!” she said. I guess she didn’t get that for me, being able to tune to our local channel any day and have a random episode on for me is almost better than owning it! Love it…never get tired of it.
Everyone may want to check their listings, because it’s on here in Denver on weekends too. They’re airing it on Saturday at 6:30 and Sunday at 10 and they’re starting in the middle of season four.
Where I am, they showed “Health Care” and “The Coup” tonight. I was extremely excited when they played that Season 1 classic!!
The Kansas City station seems to be doing it differently from everyone else. The early showing is Season 3 and the late showing is Season 1.
#49 We have the same schedule here. The early showing is Season 1 and the late showing S3.
The pilot was first yesterday, it was edited for time I guess, then it was the gay witch hunt, today it was diversity day and the convention
Here in Indy, they show it twice. The first airing is during “family time”, which is when they aired the pilot. The second airing is after prime time, which is when they aired “Gay Witch Hunt”. I also was expecting “Diversity Day” or the pilot again, at the later airtime. I didn’t realize they had a couple of different seasons going at once.
I got the pilot here in Chicago!
I’m in the middle of a marathon and I’m so loving this trip back to the past. Diwali… Branch Closing… heaven! Good good times.
We got the pilot here in Canada. Don’t know why some of you guys got Gay Witch Hunt.
MYTV showed the Pilot 1st last night, then Gay Witch Hunt, so it’s doing season 1 and season 3… Diversity Day was tonight. My fav all time!
Here in the Seattle area (on CW 11 I believe) it is showing at 7:00 and 7:30. Last night the pilot was on at 7 and Gay Witch Hunt was on at 7:30. I looked at the menu to see what would be on tonight, and it was the second episode of season 1 at 7, and the second episode of season 3 at 7:30.
Since some areas are only getting one episode each night, I’m thinking they must have had to start two separate strings of episodes, otherwise those areas would only get to see every other episode.Unfortunately, it sounds like some of the places that are only showing some episodes each night picked up on the season 3 string instead of season 1, which would be confusing for new viewers.
Last night I saw The Pilot and “Gay Witch Hunt”. I was expecting for “Diversity Day” to be next, but when I heard Ryan say “I’m not a temp anymore”, that was when I got confused.
Ok, tonight at 7:30 “Diversity Day” is showing. So I wonder if the station I watch on campus (again, a NYC Fox station) shows season 1 at 7:30 and season 3 at 11:30.
