Steve Carell leaves The Office as it enters into a seventh season. When Holly returns to the Scranton branch she and Michael renew their relationship and decide to move away together, leading to a search for a new branch manager; meanwhile Andy continues to make advances toward Erin, and Jim and Pam attempt to balance their work life with raising a new baby. Carell’s much publicized exit from the series hangs large over the season, overshadowing the other character plotlines; although to be fair, the stuff with the Andy, Erin, and Gabe triangle and Jim and Pam’s baby issues aren’t all that interesting. The writing just isn’t as good as in past seasons, and focuses more on setting up jokes than in exploring characters and offering biting satire. Although, Michael Scott’s exit is handled pretty well and has some touching moments. Also, a couple a fun guest stars are featured, including Will Ferrell, Jim Carrey, James Spader, and Timothy Olyphant. While Season 7 of The Office offers a few laughs and entertains, the show is clearly in decline, with its best days behind it.
