I will get off of sports soon, I promise. Some of this stuff is just too good.
Source: perpetuaThis New York Daily News headline is in its own way as great as many of the all-time best from the New York Post.
Generally, The Office ends seasons with some kind of twist or big event (the kiss, Jim and Pam getting together, Ryan promoted, the pregnancy), then picks up the next season as though several weeks or months have passed. So it stands to reason that they will reveal the new boss at the end of the season finale, and then jump into Season 8 explaining how the new boss’s first few weeks have been. Here are my off-the-cuff top picks for Michael Scott’s replacement:
1. Kelly - As the article says, the show doesn’t need to be about the boss.
2. Andy - It would really turn the screws on the Andy/Gabe/Erin storyline, which should become even more of a focus of the show.
3. Ron Swanson - I can dream, can’t I?
