It's been announced that Steve Carell's Michael Scott is leaving at the end of Season 7 already, but apparently he will leave four episodes or so from the end so that the series ends on a high as they search for a new manager. Kathy Bates rather crap CEO will return but with the last couple of series being rather lacklustre, and series 5 only just screening on UK televisions, it might breathe a breath of fresh air into a show that Carell clearly thinks should quit ahead. However I doubt NBC exec's will agree.
