After 9 seasons, The Office called it quits after this past season.  It was well past its prime and was really running on fumes at this point, but it will be missed.  Creator Greg Daniels returned for the final season, but had to work around the movie careers of John Krasinski and Ed Helms, which left the show without Jim and/or Andy for large parts of the season.  Which wasn’t always a bad thing, as the writers obviously had nothing more to say with the Andy character.  By the end, one would cringe any time he appeared on screen.

The finale sent the series off on a good note, with Dwight, having finally become the regional manager, getting married to Angela, Steve Carell, B.J. Novak, and Mindy Kaling returning for the wedding, the documentary series that had been filming for 9 years finally airing, and Jim and Pam getting to leave Dunder-Mifflin behind and move on the bigger and, hopefully, better things.

While the show was nowhere near as good as it had been, it will leave a hole in the fall schedule and NBC will likely miss whatever meager ratings it had been bringing in at the end.
