Its robust 4.7 ratings lorded it over
Grey's Anatomy, the first time the NBC comedy topped a first-run
Grey's installment.
The Office, which was
issued an early renewal recently alongside Community and 30 Rock, reeled in 9 million viewers, its highest rating since the wedding last year of Jim and Pam.
Grey's Anatomy's 11.79 million, meanwhile, is its lowest rated episode this season, second only to 10.21 mil on "The Time Warp."
The surge from
The Office also helped
The Marriage Ref edge out original episodes of
The Mentalist and
Private Practice.
