Our Suggestions for How The Office Should End
Earlier today Steve Carell confirmed that he’s leaving The Office at the end of next season. While he insists that the show could go on sans Michael Scott (“It doesn’t certainly mean the end of the show. I think it’s just a dynamic change to the show, which could be a good thing, actually. Add some new life and some new energy…I see it as a positive in general for the show.”), we’ve considered the TV comedy past its expiration date for a few years now. After the jump we’ve got a few suggestions on how we think things should wrap up inspired by some other famous series endings that you might recognize.

Rate-a-Trailer: Dinner for Schmucks
Things this new comedy has going for it: Paul Rudd. Steve Carell. Zach Galifianakis in cape. That aside, it’s a remake of the 1998 French film The Dinner Game, and we’re not sure the humor of the premise translates.
Rudd plays a guy who is about to get a big promotion at work — but only if he agrees to bring some loser to his boss’s annual dinner party competition thing where everyone is supposed to bring the dumbest person who they can find. After the meal, all of dumb people leave, and the group decides who brought the biggest loser. Carell plays a guy who makes artistic dioramas out of dead mice. He obviously seems like a shoe-in to win. … Read More
Tina Fey and Steve Carell’s Action Comedy: Date Night
When we first that Steve Carell and Tina Fey were starring together in Date Night, we imagined something akin to a very special NBC Thursday wherein Michael Scott and Liz Lemon happened to show up in each other’s respective fictional worlds. Maybe Michael was in the audience for a taping of The Tracy Jordan show, or Liz was scouting comedic talent in Scranton. Who knows. What we didn’t expect was a movie about a married couple who end up on the bad side of some serious gangsters.… Read More
