User blog comment:Dwide Schrude/Steve Carell to leave The Office after Season 7/@comment-1296394-20100511234015

Dwide, you have exactly the right idea. I mean, look at the british office (somthing i hope you'v all watched). That ended after two seasons and a christmas special because Ricky and Steve (Merchant that is) didn't want to show to drag on. And although i do aknowlage the differences between the two shows (US and UK) you have to understand that the show is basically about Michael. And that without Michael the show wouldn't have been even close to a shadow of it's former glory. So please, if Carell leaves, let the rest of the cast follow him. I couldn't bear to see the show drag on and on as they attempt to replace the glory that is Michael Scott.
