NBC keeps fans' attention high
MIssing your weekly fix of The Office on NBC due to summer reruns? Fear not! Luckily TV's favorite accountants are keeping fans entertained and patiently waiting for the third season of the hit primetime sitcom.
With just two episodes left for the summer, the weekly webisodes are NBC's answer to online video content that is available on their site only. The accountants have been on the case to find out just who stole $3,000 from the office petty cash. (Hint: They know it's their boss, Michael Scott.)
The webisodes aren't the only online content available to fans. Fake public service announcements, deleted scenes, teaser trailers for the fall and even a photo blog of Dwight as a bobblehead doll are just some of the popular features.
Earlier this year NBC fought against YouTube after a Saturday Night Live skit appeared on the site, only to strike a deal with the popular video-sharing destination just a few months after.
I'm glad to see NBC has realized the popularity of media-sharing sites and giving extra content for their popular programs. By having so much new content available while the show is off for the summer, the casual viewer will be more likely to tune in this September to see what happens next in Pennsylvania's favorite workplace.
