    There was a time when "Office" season finales would generate discussion before, during, and through the night here.

    My Lord, what a mess. That was dreadful.

    Having said that, I loved the cold open, and the tearaway suit bit made me laugh pretty hard. And I always approve of any Mose appearance.

    Since Michael left, show has gone in a zillion directions at once and none of them have been even faintly funny. The writing has been crap.

    I'm starting to see slight signs of this now in The Big Bang.

    I've been very critical of this season, but the last two episodes, which I watched back-to-back last night, were pretty good. I think my favorite line came from Creed, who said, "Oh good, this carpet's due for a good moppin."

    It's like everything else. Nothing's that black and white.

    Have they had better seasons? Sure have.

    Did absolutely everything they threw against the wall this year fail to stick? No. There were moments.

    That Dwight spinoff is going to be a disaster of "The Rocker" proportions.

    Watched some of "The Catherine Tate Show." She is funny outside of "The Office."

    Dwight is so integral to The Office that it's hard to imagine him in any other setting. Dwight's funny in a fish out of water way in that corporate setting, whereas who wants 22 minutes a week of him at Schrute Farms? (At least, that was the original plan - If they've changed it to an Office Lite show, maybe it limps along for a season or two.)

    If Mose is on there, I'll give it a shot. (I doubt he will be, since Mike Schur is pretty busy with Parks & Rec and just had another pilot picked up.)

    Looks like it is happening - at least they are shooting an episode of The Farm which will be part of the The Office and then will decide whether to pick it up as a series.

    I'm not going out on a limb here, but this looks to be the final season of The Office.
