Mark your calendar now if you’re a fan of NBC’s The Office. The peacock network has announced that the long-running sitcom’s last episode will air on May 16th.
The series finale will be the show’s 200th episode and will run for one hour, starting at 9pm. I expect that NBC will run a retrospective of some kind in the 8pm hour but they haven’t announced one yet.
While the ratings have fallen a lot over the years, The Office ranks as NBC’s third-highest rated scripted series, behind Revolution and Go On. No doubt the network is sorry to see it go.
Here are some specifics about the last episode:

I think Michael Scott leaving was the best thing to happen to the show. They can now have office parties without it getting derailed by whatever Michael’s issue is.
It’s been a bit better this season than the last one, but the show really jumped the shark when Michael Scott left.
