Watch: Martin Freeman & Ricky Gervais Get Mashed Up In 'The Office: An Unexpected Journey'
Before he was Bilbo, before he was Watson, Martin Freeman was Tim Canterbury, a lowly salesman at Wernham Hogg Paper Company. It's hard to believe, but the original U.K. "The Office" is already over ten years old, and its U.S. counterpart is wrapping up at the end of this season too. Well, if you ne...

TV Ratings: Winners (Fox News, "The Walking Dead") and Losers (Fox, "The Office")
The 2012-13 television season just finished up its fourth week, and there are clearly two major success stories overall: NBC has been the highest-rated network in 18-49 for four weeks in a row, the first time it's done so in a whole decade, while "The Walking Dead" made history by beco...

What We Know About the Upcoming Season of 'The Office,' Which Will Be the Show's Last
Facing cast attrition -- star Steve Carell left at the end of the seventh season, his replacement James Spader departed after a single season, Mindy Kaling is heading out for a new sitcom of her own on Fox while B.J. Novak's also no longer a regular -- and a general sense of having lingered...

The Ninth & Final Season Of 'The Office' Will Finally Reveal Who Is Making The Documentary
To put it plainly, "The Office" has never really recovered after the departure of Steve Carell. In fact, one could argue the show peaked during season five, his third to last run on the show, and began a downward decline that was only exacerabated by the hunt for a new office manager and a...

Clark Duke Headed To 'The Office'; Mark Pellington Directing ABC Pilot 'Red Widow'
Is there any show that is more shambled, barely wheezing and in a shell of its former self than "The Office"? After Steve Carell exited the show (which was already wobbling in its last season with him), it seems the writers and showrunners had no idea what to do, flailing about as the come...

Steve Carell and Keira Knightley On The Run From The Apocalypse: 'Seeking a Friend ...'
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World is something rare: a sunny, charming apocalypse film. Even the off-beat pairing of Steve Carell and Keira Knightley – what?! – works better than you’d imagine, evidence that Carell really can do anything, even play a romantic lea...

TV Dial: 'The Office' Cast Might Get A Reboot; Donald Glover To Play Tracy Jordan On '30 Rock'; David Tennant Joins 'Spies Of Warsaw' & More
Let's fave it, "The Office" hasn't been the same since Steve Carell left the show and frankly, it was already on the decline during his last season. James Spader was kind of wasted as the new David Wallace (of sorts) and Ed Helms' position as the new office manager was constantly undermined by tepid...

Jim Carrey Latest Big Star To Join Season Finale Of 'The Office'
It may have suffered somewhat in recent seasons from a dip in form, especially compared to the superior nature of most of the rest of the NBC comedy line-up -- "Community," "Parks and Recreation" and "30 Rock" -- but for the most part, we've immensely enjoyed the last seven seasons of "The Office." While it may not be as near-flawless as the BBC series on which it was based, it's remained remarkably consistent across over ten times the length, thanks to a star-making performance from lead Steve Carell, and one of the deepest, richest comedic ensembles around, one that's helped to launch names like John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer and Ed Helms, a...
