The Offic Scores Pretty Good Ratings for it's Wild Premiere - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

An hour-long episode of NBC's The Office (9.2 million), which almost matched the 9.7 million who tuned in for last year's premiere. Like many other shows premiering yesterday evening, The Office debut greatly improved over its 2007-08 seasonal average of 7.2 million, but season premieres are typically inflated because of a surge of interest early in the season. Plus, last season was affected by the writers' strike, which caused viewers to tune out, making last year's averages slightly lower than they probably would have been otherwise.

I LOVVVED the premiere!!!!!

Plus, judging from a lot of the storylines set up in the premiere and finale, I think this is going to be a really good season, as always!!!!

The ratings were pretty good but the show will probably average about 8 million viewers once CSI starts.

The JAM engagment was the cherry on top to a rather good premiere. The beginning felt too rushed but after about 20 minutes the episode got a lot better. I love Amy Ryan and I hope that she won't be leaving too soon. Phyliss and Kelly really shined in this episode and the love triangle between Angela, Andy, and Dwight should be very interesting.

It was a great season permiere. Lot of laughs and a few surprises that really made the show a lot of fun.

I'm probably going to watch it again sometime this weekend.
