TBS Picks Up The Office Syndication

NBC’s Emmy-winning comedy series The Office will join the TBS lineup this fall. It was announced on Thursday that TBS has picked up the syndication. “The Office is not only a top-notch sitcom, but also one of the most relatable comedies on television,” says Ken Schwab, senior vice president of programming for TBS and TNT. “Anyone who has ever worked for a completely clueless boss, had an inner-office romance or simply worked among an odd assortment of coworkers will immediately get the offbeat humor in this series. It’s a wonderful addition to our lineup, and we’re thrilled to bring it to our audience of comedy lovers.” The Office reruns join other notable comedy shows in syndication on TBS including Family Guy, Seinfeld, Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond and King of Queens.

Update: TBS also picked up the syndication rights for My Name Is Earl along with the rights to air repeats of The Office.
