Quittin’ Time

It’s the end of an era – the Michael Scott era.

Office star Steve Carell has reinstated his desire to leave the Emmy-winning NBC sitcom at the end of next season.

“I think [season] 7 will be my last year,” he
said. “I want to fulfill my contract. I think it’s a good time to move on. I just want to spend more time with my family.”

Carell first expressed his wish in April during a BBC radio interview.

I hope this means The Office will shut down for good, too. If we learned anything from the ill-fated-Scrubs-moving-from-NBC-to-ABC experiment it is that, perhaps, it is better to let a long-in-the-tooth show go than ask too much of it.
