Lots of upheaval behind the scenes at Dunder Mifflin Sabre Scranton. Paul "Toby" Lieberstein is stepping down as Showrunner (shar.es) to shift his focus to the Dwight spinoff The Farm. Plus the article notes no deals are set yet for John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer and Ed Helms to return for season 9. And we know James Spader is out. Plus Mindy Kaling could also be leaving if her FOX show gets picked up for the fall.

Sadly, I agree this once amazing show needs a mercy killing. They tried to make a go of it, but this show without Michael Scott is like trying to continue Seinfeld without Jerry.
Is Kathy no longer at DM? Was that ever shown? Her little plot was the only thing I cared about this season.
I liked this one a lot. I love this show's own brand of humor, which is defined by the oddness of the characters. The multi-way phone conversations were hilarious. "How many lines do you people have???
