The Office (U.S.) Finally Fucking Ends Tonight

I have certainly been critical about THE (American) OFFICE. It's a wonder that I kept watching it this entire time.

There was good in it. There was sooo much that was dreadful — unnecessarily dreadful! — but there was a core that worked. And every so often, an episode might remind me what the show was capable of being.

For those interested, TV GUIDE ran an interesting multi-part article chronicling the history of the show:

Oral History of THE OFFICE.

My expectations for tonight's overdue series finale are low. This past victory lap season has been filled with things I loathed about the series. But there's still room for surprises.
