‘The Office’ Achieved Two Huge Milestones This Week On Netflix

Every single episode of The Office is available on Netflix

until January 2021, at least. And that’s a shame for the world’s most popular streaming service, as The Office has remained one of the consistently most viral shows on the platform.

But just how popular has the classic NBC sitcom been? Thanks to Netflix’s newly established Top 10 feature (and our point-ranking system for the service), we’ve been able to put an actual number to The Office’s success on the streaming platform.

And this past week, The Office crossed two huge milestones that highlight just how popular the show has been this year.

Let’s start with the big one. Despite consistently ranking on the daily Top 10 list, The Office has actually never appeared on the monthly Top 10 list. In March, the show finished in 11th place; in April, 13th place; in May, the show fell all the way down to 24th place; in June, 18th place; and in July, the show actually had its best month of the Top 10 era and finished with 63 points (in 11th place). And this month, despite appearing on the Top 10 on 12 of the 18 days in August, The Office sits in 16th place.

This would lead you to believe that The Office couldn’t possibly rank in the yearly Top 10, right? Well, you’d be wrong, because that exact thing happened this week. Despite the fact that The Office has never reached a monthly Top 10 list, the show entered the yearly Top 10 list this week, passing both Dead to Me and 13 Reasons Why to rank as the ninth-most-popular show of the year.

With 234 points, The Office ranks just 14 points behind another Steve Carell vehicle: the Netflix Original Space Force.

In fact, here’s the yearly Top 10 list and the amount of points each show has earned:

  1. Tiger King – 387 points
  2. Ozark – 377 points
  3. Outer Banks – 356 points
  4. Avatar: The Last Airbender – 339 points
  5. Love is Blind – 299 points
  6. All American – 266 points
  7. Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich – 261 points
  8. Space Force – 248 points
  9. The Office – 234 points
  10. 13 Reasons Why – 233 points

As you’ll notice, several of those top-ranking shows are Netflix originals with a limited number of episodes available. But the non-Netflix shows that rank the highest, like The Office and Avatar: The Last Airbender, have a plethora of episodes at the ready. This might point to how those shows been able to consistently appear on the daily Top 10 lists and build up enough points over time to make a long-term impact.

Given all of that information, the second milestone shouldn’t be too hard to believe. While The Office has only accrued the ninth-most amount of points in the Top 10 era, the show has appeared more times on the daily Top 10 than any other show—by quite a healthy margin. While shows like Ozark have made the list 57 times and other programs like Love is Blind have made the list 39 times, The Office has appeared on the daily Top 10 lists a whopping 102 times.

That means in the 175 days since the Top 10 was established, The Office has made the list 58.3% of the time. That’s a number that no other show can match.

Here are the ten shows that have spent the most time on the Top 10:

  1. The Office – 102 days
  2. Avatar: The Last Airbender – 61 days
  3. Ozark – 57 days
  4. Outer Banks – 51 days
  5. Tiger King – 50 days
  6. Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich – 42 days
  7. All American – 42 days
  8. Love is Blind – 39 days
  9. Space Force – 34 days
  10. Sweet Magnolias – 33 days

Simply put, no other show on Netflix has put up those kinds of numbers. So when The Office finally does leave the streaming platform in 2021, I doubt we’ll see another program put up this level of performance.
