The Office - Season 7
In this season, it's all change as the staff at Dunder Mifflin bid farewell to their long-serving manager. What to expect? The usual good stuff: bad behavior, addictive storylines, outrageous humor, and, of course, quality assurance. The greatest thing about the office? It makes wherever you work look like the best office in the world.

The thing The Office does best is to be funny. The other thing it does really well (and gets less credit for) is to explore the melancholy. This has provided both catharsis and escapism during the recession.

It's not something most comedy writers ever get much practice at, but thanks to the Jim and Pam of it all, The Office has had many opportunities to figure out how to make love's big milestones feel big, and funny and sweet.

As the series tries to reestablish itself in preparation for his absence, the season will ideally play out like this episode did: with a mix of high jinks and heart.

The two stories form a nice sense of balance, which is an intelligent decision on a number of levels.

The really ingenious element of "The Search" is the way that, for even the space of a single episode, we don't just imagine The Office without Carell, we kind of look forward to it.
