In total viewers, "The Office" is up week to week by 10 percent (3.772 million vs. 3.436 million), making this the top "Office" in total viewers since February 14. In the time period, "The Office" is #1 among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in men 18-34 and men 18-49. Note that "The Office" is a highly time-shifted series.
