They've been going down hill, but I thought last season was the best in awhile. This is rather depressing.

Steve Carell is leaving 'The Office' next May, E! confirms.

Carell told BBC in April that his contract expires at the end of this season and he did not plan to renew it. Now he has made it clear he wasn't just holding out for a better salary.

"I just think it's time," Carell told E! "I want to fulfill my contract. When I first signed on I had a contract for seven seasons, and this coming year is my seventh. I just thought it was time for my character to go."

best show on tv still. the kathy bates stuff was lame but she's rarely on now. it's the same freaking writers and actors and humor, nothing has changed to warrant people claiming it used to be funny but isn't anymore. tends to just be hipsters who can never admit anything is good.

anyways it'll be hard to replace Michael Scott. i'd like to see the show continue, but it's hard to imagine it without him.

out of the current cast, only Dwight would be a hilarious new lead/manager.

People still watch that show? Smart move of Carrell to bail IMO. That show jumped the shark during the marriage/divorce plots.

jumped the shark? getting married is the natural progression of a love story.

are you sure you know what jumped the shark means? it means doing something ludicrous to try to draw ratings. like a monkey cast member. or jumping a shark on a motorcycle.

characters in love getting married i'm not sure qualifies.

And I thought they milked the hell out of the whole Pam/Jim thing to get ratings.

It's just me I guess. I was never interested in that portion of the plot and only really watched the show for the inane humor and office antics. Once that part of the show became secondary to the characters' love lifes, I stopped caring. It always felt like filler to me.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option s a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The patter it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.

      Dude, I'm saying the Cardinals have proven they know nothing. Not saying keeping Bryce is the best choice long term, just saying that we've made the right move for this moment in time.  But man, the Cardinals are never a blueprint for success. Haven't been since they were in Chicago.
