If true, this would be the biggest fail. Let it go NBC, she had a good run. It's time to put her down.

Or just keep on trying like you did with Scrubs...

The loss of Steve Carell and the Michael Scott character can only help the show. It's stale and every time the story centers on Carell and that tired old schtick things grind to an unfunny halt. They might as well try something new and let some of the other characters get a chance. When was the last time they let Creed do anything at all?

If I wanted to watch the BBC I wouldn't be watching NBC. I was hoping that Timothy Olyphant's character would have turned into something, but his part had virtually no substance.

The only thing that could save that show is if Dwight runs over Pam and whatshisnames baby.

That would be funny.

That's not going to happen. A quick look at ratings tells me it's doing just as well now as it did in the earlier seasons. They will milk this as long as the actors like money.

ratings uptick due to carrell's last season most?

I like the US show but find it hard to see how it can continue in a positive fashion without Carell. This might be one way, at least for a while. The word is that there will be four episodes AFTER Carell's departure, and if they use the David Brent character in them, they could prove to be historically great TV and an awesome conclusion to the series.
