The only other 8:30 comedy on ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox this season to build on its 18-49 lead-in has been NBC's GUYS WITH KIDS.

"The Office" built on last night's lead-in by 43 percent in 18-49 rating and 32 percent in total viewers in a competitive time period versus ABC's GREY'S ANATOMY, CBS's PERSON OF INTEREST and Fox's Baseball Playoffs. This week's OFFICE is #1 in the half-hour among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in men 18-34.

In a challenging time period versus the concluding half-hours of ABC's GREY'S ANATOMY and CBS's PERSON OF INTEREST, as well as Fox's Baseball Playoffs, PARKS is currently ranking #1 among those networks in men 18-34 (pending updates).

* Keep in mind that last season PARKS AND RECREATION added an average 39 percent to these next-day "live plus same day" ratings when Nielsen reported "live plus seven day" results.
