The Office finishes strong for the season

In terms of total viewership, The Office finished 68th (8.3 million viewers) out of 142 programs for the 2006-07 season. But that doesn’t tell the whole story.

Here’s how The Office ranked compared to some other comedies:

The Office

Bales, OfficeTally’s resident ratings watcher, says:

  • For the all-critical adults 18-49 demo … this makes The Office the fourth highest ranked NBC scripted show in the demo, behind Heroes, ER, and Law and Order: SVU.

Adding a few points of my own:

  • The Office is NBC’s #1 comedy in terms of the 18-49 demo!
  • Aside from Two And A Half Men, no other non-animated 30-minute comedy beats The Office in this demographic.

Hamilton College talks to Paul Lieberstein

Paul Lieberstein’s alma mater, Hamilton College, interviews him about his various roles on The Office:

Best Part of Your Job: When we are in pre-production, this is the best job in the world. Working 10 to 7, sitting around and brainstorming with the other writers, making things funnier and writing and rewriting scenes — that’s as fun as it gets.

Rover Rescue update

After her accident in New York last week, Jenna asked fans, in lieu of “get well” gifts, to instead make a donation to Rover Rescue, an organization “dedicated to the rescue and placement of homeless dogs from Los Angeles animal shelters.”

Rover Rescue’s Cathy Rubin says that donations made in Jenna’s name now total over $1,700!

She adds:

Thanks for your posting on officetally.com in regards to the donations going to Rover Rescue. The response has been amazing. Jenna is so loved by people. It must make her feel really good. And it makes a lot of homeless dogs happy too.

Nicely done, Office (and Jenna) fans. :)
