We are reviewing all the cancelled shows and renewed shows of 2011. And the same day as Parks and Recreation renewal for season four, we get this one too.
Can The Office continue without Steve Carell? Well, there´s no need to speculate about that, since NBC renewed The Office for season eight, the first one without Steve Carell.
“The Office” (Thursdays, 9-9:30 p.m. ET) is delivering a 4.0 rating, 10 share in adults 18-49 and 7.7 million viewers overall through the season’s first 25 weeks, ranking in primetime’s top 15 in adults 18-49 and top five in adults 18-34 (excluding NFL pre- and post-game shows), making it NBC’s #1 scripted show in both categories. “The Office” is the #2 most upscale primetime show on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox or CW in terms of its concentration of adults 18-49 living in homes with $100,000-plus incomes, behind only NBC’s “30 Rock.”
One of television’s most critically acclaimed comedies, “The Office” has been nominated for the Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series every season and won the award in 2006. Its ensemble has also been nominated every season since 2006 for the SAG Award (winning in 2007 and 2008) and was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award for four consecutive seasons (2007-2010). The series received the George Foster Peabody Award in 2006.
From Deedle-Dee Productions, Reveille and Universal Media Studios comes “The Office,” the hilarious documentary-style look into the humorous and sometimes poignant foolishness that plagues the world of 9-to-5 based on the award-winning BBC hit. A fly-on-the-wall “docu-reality” parody about modern American office life, “The Office” delves into the lives of the workers at Dunder Mifflin paper supply company in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Regional manager Michael Scott (Golden Globe winner and Emmy nominee Steve Carell, “Despicable Me,” “Date Night”) is the boastful tour guide.
Also starring are Jenna Fischer (“Walk Hard”), John Krasinski (“Away We Go”), Rainn Wilson (“The Rocker”), B.J. Novak (“Inglorious Basterds”), Ed Helms (“The Hangover”), Leslie David Baker (“Malcolm in the Middle”), Brian Baumgartner (“Arrested Development”), Kate Flannery (“The Heir Apparent”), Mindy Kaling (” No Strings Attached “), Angela Kinsey (“Tripping Forward”), Paul Lieberstein (writer, “King of the Hill”), Oscar Nuñez (” The Proposal “), Phyllis Smith (“Arrested Development”), Creed Bratton (former member of The Grass Roots), Craig Robinson (“Hot Tub Time Machine”), Ellie Kemper (“Important Things with Demetri Martin”) and Zach Woods (“The Other Guys”). “The Office” is executive-produced by Ben Silverman, Greg Daniels, who developed the series for American audiences, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Howard Klein and Paul Lieberstein.
