Steve Carell leaving The Office!

Recommended Posts

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.

    • I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.
    • overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.     
    • Im really curious to see how the defense is going to look once its playing with some leads.
