Originally Posted By ecdc Ditto. I enjoyed it. Hadn't watched it the last few seasons, either. Spoiler.... I was stunned Steve Carrell returned. They played that one well - everything I read was unequivocal: He would not be in the finale.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 <>>it didn't seem forced at all<< <That's what she said.> I KNEW I could count on you to pick up that set-up! <I've never watched the US Office, but the original UK version had a perfect ending IMHO!!!> I loved the UK version, but it was very different. The boss character there (Ricky Gervais) had no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and was just cringe-worthy (intentionally). In the US version, they decided to make the boss eminently clueless, but at bottom not a bad guy. It took them most of season one, IMO, to find their tone and separate themselves from their source. But once they did, they were off to the races, and season 2-6 or so were great. Two quite different variations on the same theme, and each excellent in its own right.

Originally Posted By DDMAN26 No that idea was scuttled a few months ago. It is kind of a blessing that NBC has had so much trouble in recent years. It's a miracle that the Office, Parks and Rec and even though I can't stand the show Community have made it this long. Any other network these would have been canceled a long time ago.

I haven't watched this season yet, (we watch once they come out on DVD) but I've been hoping they won't do that going out of business storyline. If I can't have the show, I want to at least imagine they all still work together, lol.
