Schrute, (Acting) Manager Commentary with Mindy Kaling, Ellie Kemper, Angela Kinsey, Steve Hely and Justin Spitzer My Scenes BD-Live pocket BLU App .com Michael Scott's long tenure as manager of Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch comes to a bittersweet end in the seventh season of The Office, leaving viewers to wonder how and if the show will survive without star Steve Carell. The actor's departure marks a turning point for the comedy that extends beyond finding a replacement for its lead. The Office itself had begun to show cracks in its façade in its fifth season, with too frequent dips into implausible story lines and character behavior that hewed more cartoonish than the careful mix of sitcom humor and human observation with which the show made its mark. How The Office resets itself in Carell's wake will remain the task of its eighth season, but season seven offers an agreeable place-marker for the cast and crew, who pay tribute to Scott with several genuinely funny episodes and a wrap-up that manages to be heartfelt without tipping into overly sentimental territory. The season also features a recurring turn by Will Ferrell as Deangelo Vickers, Michael's temporary replacement and a walking collection of frayed nerves and personality tics. Ferrell is amusing in his four-episode story arc, but at times, his livewire routine clashes mightily with the lower-keyed energy of the established cast. More effective is the parade of celebrities who queue up to replace Michael in the season's conclusion, "Search Committee," with James Spader (a new Office cast member as of season eight), Ray Romano, Jim Carrey, Will Arnett, and UK Office creator Ricky Gervais (as David Brent) adjusting their respective styles to the level of the series. Other highlights include the unveiling of Michael's long-gestating film project Threat Level Midnight, which features an array of past Office performers, and "Viewing Party," which evokes past after-hours get-togethers in its barrage of neuroses run wild. Extras on the four-disc Blu-ray set include four episodes with commentary tracks, each featured on a single disc; Carell is again noticeably absent from these tracks, but series creator Greg Daniels and various cast and crew members, including B.J. Novak, Ellie Kemper, and Paul Lieberstein, do their best be informative and entertaining. Deleted scenes from most of the episodes provide more footage of Ferrell and the other guest stars, while extended versions of "Training Day" and "Search Committee" provide some subtle moments of character development. The complete Threat Level Midnight is a welcome addition, as is The 3rd Floor, a series of webisodes about the staff shooting a horror movie in the office after hours. A fairly hilarious blooper reel rounds out the set. --Paul Gaita

It was fun, but it's time to move on
I've enjoyed every season of The Office, and this was no different. But I felt bittersweet watching the finale. It's like with any relationship you have. You have to know when things are getting stale. The characters don't seem to have a lot of room to grow beyond where they are at, and the whole Jim and Pam romance is now turned into just another boring, middle-class couple muddling through life. Steve Carrel tied all the characters together, and nobody can replace him. The cameo appearances by Will Ferrel and James Spader were just painful to watch. It's rare that you get something so right like the chemisty between the original cast. The characters that were added later like Andy, Gabe and the stupid new receptionist were just awful and felt forced. I was impressed with the ending as it tied up the series nicely and allowed fans to say goodbye leaving you feeling like life goes on for the characters as it does for all of us. I wish the network would have just left it at that instead of trying to eek a few more seasons out.Goobye The Office. Onward to new adventures.

I'll miss Michael
The Office is one of my all-time favorite series! I can put it on and watch it anytime and I'm never ever disappointed! I will miss Michael, but all good things come to an end. I have all of the available seasons to watch his brilliance!This whole series is worth watching over and over...you'll have your favorite episodes, and even seasons...but it's worth watching all of them because there are always funny little nuggets that you might not have noticed on a previous viewing.The whole cast is just so funny to get to know and watch their actions and reactions and getting to know them is a joy!

One of the best seasons yet!!
With much anticipation and fanfare, the seventh season of The Office comes through for the fanatical fan or just casual viewer. Packed with laughs and unequalled comedy genius! If you have never seen the office it's okay to start right here, you will be able to catch on quickly and relate to just about every awkward moment. If you are a die hard fan than this season will bring you back to the days of the first 4 seasons, when all the comedy caught you a little off guard but entertained you to the max! Mark another genius opening sequence in the first episode, who could have guessed THAT one!! Just great fun. Enjoy!

Always a Treat
There is not a lot to say about this season besides the fact that Steve Carell got the chance to do some "bucket list" episodes that will always rank up there with the best, including the classic rendition of "Threat Level Midnight." Honestly, the weakest episodes were the ones detailing the relationship between Michael and Holly. Her character has definitely reached its limit. Either way, very good season overall. It might not be the best of the seasons, but if you are a fan of the show, just buy it. You know you want it!

THE OFFICE
I haven't watched season 7 yet but I don't need to in order to review it. I love this series & have since the very beginning starting with the original British series starring Ricky Gervaise. These characters are hilarious & very well developed. They all have depth & humor. I can't say enough great things about THE OFFICE. This series is definitely a keeper! You won't be disappointed with this purchase. You really should buy all of the episodes/seasons leading up to this one as well.

Farewell, Michael Scott
Ah, the season we've all been dreading. After seven glorious and hilarious years, Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell, is leaving for good. His farewell season isn't as strong as previous seasons, namely two through four, but still offers a lot of laughs and guest appearances. A few of the appearances to note are Kathy Bates as Jo, the head of Sabre and lover of giant dogs, Timothy Olyphant as Danny Cordray, a successful traveling businessman trying to poach clients away from Dunder Mifflin, and Will Ferrell as DeAngelo Vickers, the temporary branch manager that makes Michael look like a business guru.The majority of the season deals with Michael's departure and who is going to take over. There's a lot of hijinks that occur as a result of potential managers that interview for the branch manager position. The final two episodes have A TON of cameos from well-known comedians, and are hilarious to watch. In true Office fashion, the Halloween and Christmas episodes are some of the best of the season, which is appropriate as they'll be Michael's last. A few other standout episodes for me include "Andy's Play", in which Andy is part of the community theater's rendition of Sweeney Todd, "Threat Level Midnight", the long overdue and hilarious feature film by Michael, "Goodbye Michael" as the touching and appropriate sendoff for Carell, and the two-parter "Search Committee" in which the office searches for Michael's replacement.This show has always belonged to Carell, who was SO good as the incompetent boss whose awkwardness knew no bounds. I understand the desire to pursue other projects but Steve will truly be missed. I write this review a few season after the fact and can safely say that the show is not the same without him. This is a great final season for him to be featured in.The set itself contains a lot of funny extras, including blooper reals, deleted scenes, and webisodes. The set also contains the essential extended edition of "Threat Level Midnight."
