Major spoiler for Season 8/9

[Neon Ignition]

The Office has officially been renewed for Season 9

This could well end up being the last series

SPOILERS

->Open Spoiler<-

This season will see the departure of Kelly, Tobey and Dwight. Andy, Jim and Pam were last minute signings suggesting that if those three don't commit to a tenth season it's unlikely the show would carry on having lost all its core characters. Dwight however will be in spin-off The Farm

I've come to start watching this really late, but have to say I really enjoy it. Going to probably look in to getting some of the earlier series box sets since by all accounts you all seem to think it's tailed out now. That said, i'm enjoying the current run that's on comedy central.

[Neon Ignition]

I'm late in Season 7 now and absolutely love it, I personally feel it's as good as ever. What seemed to happen was the writers decided that keeping it more documentary style wouldn't work in the long run and it's become increasingly sitcom style which some aren't as keen on. However, the characterisations are brilliant. So rare to have a show with an ensemble cast where they're all likeable.

It has Rainn Wilson in it, how could it not be great?

The show runner for Seasons 1-5 is coming back for Season 9, it has also been confirmed that the ninth run will be the final season leaving spin-off The Farm as the successor. In the last series several old faces will reappear and the faces of the documentary crew will finally be revealed. They hope to get Steve Carrell back for the final episode.

well after yesterday's double episode next week all we have is the final double and that's that

So much better than the UK office from the second season onward and for me has constantly delivered as an overall terrific TV show

[Neon Ignition]

I've had some serious irritance with Season 9 but it's looking like half the decisions were intentional as the last few eps have really brought it all together, it's like having a series of finales in a row. One of the best sitcoms ever and thoroughly p***es over the UK original.

[rumbletum]

Seriously? Have you guys even seen the UK one? Up until the last few seasons of bilge I've loved the US version and its been one of my favourite shows, but it still doesn't compare to the original.

[buster_broon]

First season against first season since it was pretty much a carbon copy with americanisms, but after that the writers took it on a new direction which crushes the uk one

The uk first season was good but the second season just wasn't great (uk version)

So poppycock sir

Halfway through the series finale of the office and
