In it's prime, seasons 2,3,4, N.B.C.'s the Office was a great show.  It was super witty, had a really good story line, and had great characters that you could really connect with.  This is not the case anymore.

The show started to go down hill in its fifth season.  It kind of ran out of original plots and it just became weird.  The characters started to change from their original, hillarious forms, and started to just become plain unfunny.  This could be said for most main charachters, except for the protagonist, Micheal Scott.  Micheal always maintained a constant leval of funny.

After a terrible season 5 and 6, Steve Carrell, who portrays scott, announced he was leaving the show at the end of the 7th season. This led to the best season since the 4th which climaxed at a great episode, Micheal's leaving of the office. 

This would have been a great place to close down the series.  Leave with its dignity.  But the writers decided to continue it. 

The 8th season just had its season finale.  The season proved to be the show's worst effort by far, almost unwatchable.  After this embarrasment you think the show's writers would decide to shut it down, right?

Wrong, they are bringing back for a 9th season, for some unfathomable reason.  Along with this new season, they are bringing in all new writers and a lot of new cast members(because the smart ones knew they had to get the hell out of that mess.)

The Office is such a good example of how shows should quit when they are ahead, before they ruin everything good they had once done.
