From MediaWeek:
NBC’s ongoing rating woes were clearly visible on Thursday, April 12, with its combination of My Name is Earl, The Office [Safety Training], 30 Rock, Scrubs and ER resulting in the network’s worst performance in the traditional (September to May) season since at least the inception of People Meters (1987) — and perhaps historically — on this once-pivotal evening.
Wow. What is going on here?

Here’s some information on a product being featured in tonight’s episode of The Office. I would say more, but … that might give too much away.
From the Associated Press via MSNBC:
In the NBC series “The Office,” the boss Michael Scott turned to Wikipedia for tips on fending off an employee’s request for a pay raise. Viewers quickly flocked to the online encyclopedia and added their take to its entry on negotiations.
Administrators at Wikipedia had to limit editing of the entry, most recently late Tuesday, placing it in “semi-protection” mode. That meant users couldn’t make changes anonymously or from accounts fewer than four days old — to discourage those drawn to the site specifically because of the broadcast [of The Negotiation].

From the Scranton Times-Tribune:
Many fans … are stopping here on their own, leading a local group to think the TV show and its legions of devotees might flock to an organized “Office Convention,” similar to wildly popular “Star Trek” conventions around the country.
The potential of “Office”-themed events was seen when Rainn Wilson, who portrays Dwight Schrute on the show, visited the city and drew throngs of fans to the Mall at Steamtown on Dec. 17.
The “Office” convention steering committee plans a formal call for volunteers in the next few weeks, and would like to host the event in October or November — downtime in television production when cast members may be available.

From an NBC press release:
NBC.com has just launched “The Office” Quotes Game. The game was originally developed by “Office” message board users who were challenging each other to identify the character who had spoken a specific quote. Now when users get the quote, episode and character correct, they will be rewarded with the video of the scene itself.
In another feature from “The Office,” NBC.com asks fans to share with the character Toby, their worst Human Resources nightmares. Users submit video clips of themselves as they tell the online audience about their funniest HR stories.
The HR Nightmares page has a new Toby clip. The quotes game is still darned picky.

Last night was the LA premiere of The Last Mimzy, starring Rainn Wilson. A bunch of the Office cast came for the event.
I’ve been getting multiple emails to rally the Office fanbase to vote for Dwight in the Chicago Tribune’s Redeye Character Wars.
Dwight is currently up against Dr. Gregory House of House in the Elite Eight match-up.
Go vote now! Polls close 1pm today, Chicago time!
