Surprising NBC Statistics

I used to be completely addicted to NBC Thursday nights — Community, The Office, Parks & Recreation and 30 Rock. However, once 30 Rock ended, Community got weirdly cancelled (and then weirdly returned?) and The Office lost its best character, my interest was lost as well. I've talked to other fans of The Office that have been with the show since the beginning, and they agree with me in that the show has gone way downhill and the plot is completely disheveled. What I didn't know was that The Office is currently the highest rated comedy on NBC. 

Also, did you know that reruns of The Big Bang Theory have higher ratings than the average number of viewers for first runs of NBC's Thursday night sitcoms? Because I find that hard to believe, especially after watching this YouTube clip of The Big Bang Theory with the laugh track taken out. In my opinion, this 30-second clip from The Office is funnier than anything I've seen on The Big Bang Theory. But that's just me.
