I kind of gave up on watching The Office every week several seasons ago. I catch up when the mood strikes me but nothing has really had me take notice in years.
Not to get deep into spoilers since it's less than a week old, but the end of Thursday's episode was fucking weird and set a totally different mood than anything that show has ever done. Part of me writes it off as "feh, they want to make sure they have a lot of attention as they wind it down, so they're trying a weird stunt and of course they'll eventually have a happy ending" but I have to admit I'm kind of interested to see what's going to happen, so I guess it worked.
To summarize it in a brief way if you don't know or care to watch the show itself -
So I was trying to think of other shows that pulled some bizarre twist near the end of its run and the only other one I can think of is Roseanne (with the last episode showing the last season was all just how she wanted things to turn out, rather than how it actually turned out). There's gotta be at least a few others out there, right? Originally I was just trying to think of comedies but I'll take anything that people can come up with.
