What Will Happen After Next Week's The Office
The last episode of The Office to feature Michael Scott is next week. Judging by the past few episodes, here is how his exit will go down, and how NBC's comedy lineup will suffer as a result.
Next week's episode will attempt to claw tears from the eyes of the viewer as every character completely forgets that Michael is an inconsiderate buffoon. Because the writers don't really understand human emotion, characters will treat what would in reality be a mildly sad event like it is a tragedy on the scale of the holocaust. Each character will have a confessional where they admit that they've always liked Michael, even when they didn't. Even Toby will grudgingly admit that he likes Michael and admires his style. Toby and Michael will settle their differences and part ways on good terms, enraging everybody who has been watching the show since Season 2.
At least one person will admit that they had a crush on Michael. It will probably be Pam, which will create a false sense of tension between her and Jim, setting up a conflict in the coming episodes. This will be done solely to keep people watching even after Michael has left.
There will be a big "wham" moment where one main cast member reveals that they have cancer, are the Scranton Strangler, will be replacing Michael, or all three. Will Ferrell will continue to have nothing to do, and will most likely announce that he just doesn't feel comfortable replacing somebody as savior-like as Michael Scott.
Despite all of these absurdly overblown plot twists, ratings for The Office will drop almost immediately. The show will continue, but it will no longer be NBC's flagship comedy, and as a result, ratings for 30 Rock, Community, and Parks and Recreation will also drop.
30 Rock will attempt to take the place of The Office. NBC will bombard us with promotions for the latest, craziest episode. Alec Baldwin will announce that he is leaving the show, and NBC will try to hype his exit to the same degree that they hyped Steve Carell's exit. This being 30 Rock, however, most of the transitional period before Baldwin's exit will be spent making fun of TV shows that use a main character's exit as a way to promote ratings. 30 Rock will subvert expectations by having every character talk about how much they disliked Jack Donaghy, and how happy they are that he's leaving. There will be a cute couple of "final scenes" between Liz and Jack, but not much else. NBC, however, will overhype this exit as well, in a desperate attempt to save their thursday night lineup.
Community and Parks and Rec will have one or two more quality seasons, and then call it quits as their ratings drop. They will each go out on a dignified note while 30 Rock and The Office turn into over-produced laugh machines that die horrible, embarrasing deaths.
