The employers of Dunder Mifflin may be on hiatus but at least, fans can still enjoy The Office online. NBC.com now offers more digital features than ever this summer, which allows fans to follow Twitter conversations between characters, vote on favorite Office moments, play The Office Golf Game for iPhone and iPod Touch, and complete summer tasks on the Dunder Mifflin Infinity social network, just to name a few.
Additionally, full episodes of The Office, as well as original webisodes, will be posted on the site so fans can savor their favorite show while waiting for the fall premiere. There will also be videos with exclusive commentary by the main characters, and special features such as a customizable video threat for "blackmailing a friend," which stars Creed Bratton and follows the office oddball's attempt to blackmail his coworkers at Dunder Mifflin.
Of course,
The Office wouldn't be complete without its resident chatterbox Kelly Kapoor (@IAmKellyFierce) and her on-again, off-again love interest Ryan Howard (@veRY_ANgelic). Follow them as they continue their never-ending love spat on Twitter.
Then, there's the "Best of The Office Polls" in which fans can vote on their favorite Michael moment, favorite quote, favorite prank, favorite costume, favorite Dwight moment, favorite party moment, and favorite accounting moment, among other categories.
Other
Office content includes an all-new Look-a-Like Gallery where fans can submit pictures of themselves as their favorite Office character, as well as new updates on Dwight's blog "Schrute-Space" and Meredith's blog "Sex & The Electric City". Furthermore, the Scranton Newsletter will also feature new content all summer long.
The sixth season of
The Office is scheduled to air on Thursday, September 17 at 9pm on NBC, serving as a lead-in to new comedy
Community, a series from Emmy winners Joe and Anthony Russo (
Arrested Development) that revolves around a band of community college misfits led by a lawyer portrayed by Joel McHale (
The Soup).
