The second half of this series' run had some truly lame storylines, but the characters kept me coming back. Last night's penultimate episode was schmaltzy, for sure, and Andy's part was totally unnecessary, but aside from that, it was pretty great. Jim and Dwight's interactions were really funny, and while my wife was inundated with tears at the end, I was sipping my whiskey extra hard and doing my best not to join her. I will miss this show.

This probably could describe every episode this season.

Which is not something I would have said going into this season. The back half of this season (pretty much everything since the Xmas episode) has been really solid to great.
Good to see one of my favorite shows go out on a high.

My supplier relations rep, Meredith Palmer, is the only person I know who knows how to properly headbang to Motorhead. Oscar Martinez, my accountant, is now godfather to my son. Angela Schrute, my former accountant, is now my wife. My top salesman, Jim Halpert, was best man at my wedding. And office administrator, Pamela Beesly Halpert, is my best friend. So yes, I’d say I have gotten along with my subordinates.
