Why would they name the new boss in the season finale? They want to keep people in suspense until next season.

I thought it had it's moments, but overall I didn't laugh a bunch at this episode.

Umm...because they said in every promo that they were going to name the new boss

I am hearing it's going to be Spader or Gervais

No...they said they were searching for a new boss. I never once heard that they would name the boss tonight, and didn't expect them to at all.

Ok......guess you didn't listen very well

Someone on Twitter said there are reports going around they are going to offer Jerry Seinfield $5 million an episode

Guess you just heard things you wanted to...because from that promo that ran since last week, I never assumed they would reveal the choice tonight.

I don't know -- a lot of people have abandoned The Office over the last few seasons, and I've tried to hang in there. But even I can't deny that the story lines are getting extremely redundant. It seems like we've suspecting Dwight as a possible branch manager for a long time now. It's like the possibility that just won't die. I guess I'd like to see them give it to Darryl or Andy.
But I thought generally season finales were suppose to end a high, exciting note -- something to keep you anxiously awaiting until next season? I could have done without watching that episode (since it wasn't that funny anyways) and just known that there still isn't a manager, it's currently between Dwight, Andy, Darryl and a couple other outside yahoos, and Gabe got sent back to Florida. THAT was the season finale??? And we're suppose to believe this show isn't dieing?

BTW, if Gervais is the new manager, I will never watch another episode again. Can't stand that guy.

I thought that Spader's character seemed like the best of the bunch. I agree though, I thought this episode was a pretty big letdown.

That's because everyone else knew that they weren't naming the new boss tonight. You seem to be the only one who was expecting differently.

Since the show jumped the shark years ago, they should have brought in Henry Winkler as the new manager. Now that would have been funny.

This show has a better writing than the last couple of seasons of the office...

Not the best finale ever. I only really LOL'd when Warren Buffett was interviewing for the manager job.

Indeed, would be fitting - and it would be indicative of the complete lack of subtlety of the show's humor now. In the old days they would have brought in Richard Belzer.
