but I guess it doesn't matter since it coming down to the end. But the last 2 episodes have been horrible

The one with Meredith shaving her head bald

Last week's episode was Erin acting like a wacko over a box of pens.



damm, never knew it could get this bad

I absolutely LOVED seasons 1-7. It was my favorite show and it would make me laugh so hysterical that I would sometimes hyperventilate! But I have not liked the last two seasons at all. I haven't liked any episode since Michael Scott left for Colorado. To be honest, the show STINKS! The entire series should have ended on a high note....when Michael left.

And where the **** is Andy? LOL

And where the **** is Andy? LOL
Andy is still off on his lame adventure in the Caribbean. I still don't know how he became office manager since he was the worst salesman at Dunder Mifflin.

Once Steve Carrell left the show, they should've called it a day. The show is now like The Mary Tyler Moore Show without Mary, Cheers without Ted Danson, Barney Miller without Hal Linden, Bewitched without Elizabeth Montgomery...the list goes on and on.

The Office has pretty much ran its course. The writing is not good, because they have basically ran out of ideas, and the people who did forward good ideas are no longer there.

Paul Rubenstien is no longer the show runner. Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak were writers on the series that moved on. Even Ed Helms has moved on, since he hasn't been on the show for about five episodes starting from last fall. I'm in the minority that I do not miss Michael Scott especially, I was looking forward to the post Steve Carell era where the show can be more of an ensamble series, which it sort of became, hit or miss. Catherine Tate seems to be a sore point, but I do not mind her.

I still watch it because it is one of my favorite shows, Dwight Schrute still kicks ass, and mostly.....Ellie Kemper. What a goddess of a woman. I really hope I see her do other productions.

Nothing work related is being done in the Office which is why the show is a JOKE now

^^^ It's a BAD joke now!

Catlover is right. The show should have called it a day when Steve Carrell left. Again, they should have left it on a high note....like when Seinfeld ended. Seinfeld didn't even wait for the show to become stale. He just knew when it was time to quit. Too bad the office didn't realize their time to quit was after season 7. Now seasons 8 and 9 will only be remembered as major failures.

Andy needs to stay gone:lol: Come back for what

Dwight did the job for a short while, but proved dictatorial and incompetant.

Creed was totally incompetant.

Stanley and Phyllis are not interested in the position.

Jim did it for awhile and did not like it.

Yes, this show has been the pits since Steve Carell left. Incredible how it's gone from the penthouse to the outhouse in such a rapid fashion.

The only good thing is that ANDY has not been on the show

Jim and Pam (John Krasinski and Jenna Fisher) from The Office have always been the through-line of the show. While the other characters, such as Steve Carrell’s Michael Scott, have really defined the nature of the long-running comedy, it was always the Jim/Pam relationship (also known as JAM by various online Office fans) that provided the heartfelt emotion which caused many viewers to continually be invested in the show.

I have been watching The Office since day one, and the early writers of the show did an excellent job developing Jim’s somewhat unrequited love for his co-worker. Helping matters tremendously was Jenna Fisher’s nuanced performance where Pam was torn between her then-boyfriend and her possibly romantic feelings for Jim. Though The Office was squarely a comedy, that situation was played very realistically which was likely one of the reasons the show took off the way it did in the second season.

Then, they finally got together, and it killed all sorts of reasons for caring about these two.

I hate to sound like a hipster or something, but I really feel The Office should have closed its doors after the third season. That finale, “The Job”, brought several character arcs to a natural close. Michael comes to the realization that he needs Scranton, Dwight (Rainn Wilson) takes control of the office (albeit briefly), and, most importantly, Jim and Pam get together. Granted, the show was not going to end as ratings were still high, and there was plenty more to do with these characters. But the Jim and Pam relationship came to a dead stop.

What should have been a “happily ever after” became an awkward attempt to build drama within their relationship. It did not work. First they do the whole “secret relationship”. Then they stretched out when Jim was going to pop the question. These were okay, because it kept the cutesy element.

I do know that I won't be buying the last 2 seasons on DVD

Honestly, I haven't seen any of this season. I've been afraid to watch it for fear of ruining the show I once so loved. :( I may or may not watch the last episode. For me, the last episode was when Michael and Holly left. :(

The show is nothing now but a bunch of coworkers with no supervisor:lol: :lol:

The NBC comedy could finish strong by bringing back Robert California and making Jim stay in Scranton.

Not even going to click on it I rather wait and found out for myself

The latest storyline means "The Office" "isn't the comedy it once was," says Willa Paskin, "but it has become the drama it has never been."

This is the last season so how is the show being saved?

I tried to watch the 2011-12 season, but it was terrible. I kept thinking oh, it's just because Michael isn't there and I need to get used to it. I stuck it out the entire season, then gave up. I was excited about watching the finale until I read Steve Carell wasn't coming back. As far as I'm concerned, the series ended when Michael got on that plane.

Actually it was bad that last season Michael was still there.

Season 7 was the beginning of the end.

True, it wasn't that good his last season, but it is heads and shoulders above what's happened since.

I don't really like the new guys on there. They aren't really funny.

You mean DIDN"T because you won't see them anymore since the show ended last night

http://flavorwire.com/390064/mapping-the-the-offices-slow-decline

For the dedicated fans of The Office who haven’t been offended/ disappointed/ heartbroken enough by its gradual decline over the seasons to abandon it entirely, tonight’s series finale may be its biggest disappointment yet. For all the show’s flaws, the Dunder Mifflin employees have indeed become something like family — not just among themselves, but to those committed viewers who have stuck with the gang through the good times and the very bad ones. Now that it’s time to bid the show goodbye, here’s our guide to the show’s steady descent, in a series of moments that made The Office really start to suck balls. (That’s what she said.)

I absolutely LOVED seasons 1-7. It was my favorite show and it would make me laugh so hysterical that I would sometimes hyperventilate! But I have not liked the last two seasons at all. I haven't liked any episode since Michael Scott left for Colorado. To be honest, the show STINKS! The entire series should have ended on a high note....when Michael left.

I really enjoy The Office; it's one of the few contemporary shows I'd watch. Haven't followed it as closely as you because of work (in the middle of a BIG BIG project that won't end til Nov.). Sounds like everyone is saying the show jumped the shark after Michael left. Perhaps, but I really like all the characters on the show, so maybe I might enjoy the later seasons. Of course, the show would have a different feel without Michael. Have to get back to burning eps of the show from TV. These eps are from S1-7 though. Maybe I'll break down and buy Office DVD sets. Because I have sooooo many DVDs I've bought, I've placed a moratorium on buying any more.

The Office is one of my favorite shows and for myself, I liked the 8th and 9th season.

I do like Steve Carrell and Michael Scott and hated the actor and character to leave, but it made the series more of an ensamble show, where there really wasn't a "lead", or a central character that everything had to tie into.

James Spader was great as a recurring character. Maybe some fans issue was that Spader seemed to me to kind of did this gig as a one year thing until he could do other things, but he was great in this. I tried his new show Blacklist, do not care for it, wish Spader would do a comedy, because he is one of a kind and hilarious.

Ed Helms did a good job replacing Carrell. I do not think the writing failed at all. The company because of the economy changed hands to Sabre and then back to David Wallace. The guy who played Gabe is an excellent actor who played his creepy, unlikable character well.

My favorite character is Dwight Schrute. I was looking forward to The Farm, but it did not pan out. I just today saw the backdoor pilot to what would have been The Farm, and am mad that it wasn't at least tried for a limited time. It's NBC! I would have made it like Fawlty Towers, with Rainn as Fawlty and Angela as Sybil, and I would have shameless ripped Towers.

Kathy Bates was good in The Office as well. I really liked her show "Harry's Law" a lot and was an avid viewer of that show and hate it was cancelled. She is from Memphis like myself, and I do not like outsiders dissing Memphis people because our town gets made fun of enough.

But yeah, I liked the last two seasons. The series finale was great and satisfying and cleared all the loose ends greatly. Dwight and Angela married and Jim and Pam left (or escaped Dunder Mifflin) to a better life with Darryl. The only thing that sucked was that Uncle Creed was arrested and led off. His character should have burned down the office during the wedding and absconded to the islands with the safe.

Michael Shur, bravo sir. The Office, Parks and Recreation and now Brooklyn Nine Nine, all great, original, funny comedies. Keep it coming dude and I am not jealous at all for your riches.

I never liked the whole Pam and Jim marriage and a baby thing

I think that when the show lost Steve Carell it lost it's most annoying character, and I guess the show relied on that really needy and ridiculous character to make it run. All the characters had their "stupid" moments, but no one did "stupid" and pathetic like Michael. Still, I liked not seeing Michael on the show. His absence alone made and makes those final seasons of the show more "watchable" to me.

I couldn't handle Andy being a manager

I feel opposite. In my opinion, Michael Scott was the best part of the show. His absence made me lose interest. I think the eight and ninth seasons were pretty horrible.

I'm sure a lot of people, a large majority of viewers, feel the way you do. I wonder if Michael is liked as a character because people liked watching how childish and petty and ridiculous he could be, as in, what over the top thing is Michael going to do next? He was alone and lonely a lot of the time and the show very beautifully demonstrated why he would be, until he found a quirky "soul mate" in Holly, but she had a good side to her that I think Michael never had.

I thought Andy was alright, it was Nellie as manager who I couldn't handle.
