NBC MAY REBOOT "THE OFFICE" THEIR #1 COMEDY (LOL)

I guess I'm in the minority. I miss Steve Carrell, but I think the show is still funny...though perhaps a bit more inconsistent than it used to be.

Ed Helms is great and even James Spader's quirky "Robert California" character is a welcome addition, though I understand Spader is not going to return.
 
Since its on NBC, any rating third place or better means instant renewal. But it never matched the original Ricky Gervais version for me...hammy acting and try-to-hard humor.
 
I didn't even know there were new episodes of the office without Carell :D Okay, yes I did, I just honestly have not tuned into a single one since he left.

Carell's depature is the reason of the demise of The Office. I haven't watch much of the post-Carell episodes.

The show was declining in quality a couple of years before Carell's departure- after Jim & Pam wed, and the addition of Erin. While there were a few good episodes (wedding, baby birth, and return of Holly for awhile), in my opinion, the episodes afterwards felt inconsistent in quality and there were more unfunny episodes than funny. The loss of Carell hurt even more.

It's NBC's most watched sitcom still. Maybe it's going to take NBC moving The Voice (NBC's top show currently) to 9pm Thu in order for 'The Office' to be put to rest. For one season after Friends, The Apprentice got the 9pm Thu hour.

Perhaps the Office should just leave while they're on top? ???

That probably should have happened a couple of years ago.
 
I stopped watching a few years before the Carrell departure, because it stopped being funny. I gave it a shot this year, and it was just abysmal.

There's a reason that a repeat of "the Big Bang Theory" beat it this past Thursday at 9, and its a good indication that CBS will probably be starting a second hour of comedy next season, so NBC better retool and fix this show quickly.
 
I stopped watching after Steve Carrell left but even during his last few seasons the show was in decline. I never noticed how bad it had gotten until I caught earlier episodes on TBS and realized how much better they were.

Calling Delta Burke......

Can't they just let this show die and put it out of it's misery. Since Steve Carell left the series has
stunk.

When was the last time you watched?
 
I watched it last night. It was horrible. There really is no chemistry with the cast without Steve Carrell.
