Thank goodness. The show had become about as boring as a real office job.

I more or less quit watching when Steve Carell left. I thought is would keep track when Kathy Bates was in as well but then she left after a few episodes.

Glad it's ending, "The Office" has been dying a slow death. It seemed each week they would throw up some ideas and see which one sticks. When Steve Carell left they ran out of steam.

I heard in an interview with Mindy that she's going to be in the first one or two episodes to wrap up her storyline.

The show has drastically declined since Steve Carrell left. At least there are always reruns.

Ok good because I was thinking they were going to ignore she worked there for 7 years

I loved The Office until this last season. Jeez it was terrible. Watching reruns reminded me of how amazing the show used to be.

LOL, someone posted this in the Northeast Pennsylvania forum as well. It's time for the show to go. The novelty has worn off, the characters are no longer interesting. Jim's pranks were funny when he was a 20-something kid fighting against "the man;" now they just seem sad and immature.

They had an opportunity to showcase two very good actors last year: James Spader and Catherine Tate. The writers' inability to do so just shows how downhill this series has gone.

Agreed. It's like the writers don't know how to let their characters grow up and still remain funny. Probably because most TV writers are under 24.

I'm sorry they gave The Office another season. Hope it's good but I doubt it will be.

This is so true. I thought they should have created a storyline showing Jim and Pam's son in kindergarten, and playing pranks on a kid named "Dwight". The storyline could have shown Jim constantly getting phone calls from the principal about his son's constant class interruptions and pranks. There could have been scenes where Jim "privately" gives his kid a "high five" for pranking techniques, but "publicly" he disciplines him for his actions. To create a more twist, the parents of the kid Jim's son keeps picking on turns out to be one of Dunder-Mifflin's clients.

...this is just my imagination running overtime...
