#The office finale series

But he hasn't forgotten his first 'kids.' 'I feel like all my kids grew up and then they married each other,' he says, in typical gross/sweet fashion. We later learn at the reception that Michael has so many photos of his kids that he needs to have two phones and two plans for all his photos. 'I'm so glad you came,' Dwight tells Michael. In Jim's sweetest prank ever, he calls in a substitute: Michael. He arrived right before Dwight's wedding, when Jim informed him that he just learned it's traditional for the best man to be older than the groom. It was nice that the producers at least tried to tell the public that he wasn't going to come back for the finale, because when he showed up, the tears began. Most importantly was a return visit from the World's Best Boss, Michael Gary Scott. And at the very end of the episode, Michael's real estate agent and ex-lover, Carol (Steve Carell's wife Nancy), popped in to make a very important sale. As regional manager, Dwight hired Devon back, the employee who Michael fired in the Season 2 Halloween episode - for which he got that huge Christmas bonus used to buy Ryan's video iPod. The stripper hired for Dwight was the same stripper who danced for Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration back in Season 3. There were lots of great Easter eggs within the episode for the show's extremely loyal fan base.

But the mockumentary series' last hurrah was lovely and moving despite, or probably because of, its simplicity.ДЄfter the penultimate episode ended with the PBS documentary finally debuting, the series finale picked up a year later on the weekend of both Dwight and Angela's wedding and a reunion panel for the documentary to see where everyone ended up. It didn't bring back every crazy character a la Seinfeld (although we would have loved to see Todd Packer start a conga line at Dwight and Angela's wedding).

The 75-minute final episode didn't show Dunder Mifflin shutting down or everyone quitting in one fell swoop. While she was just talking about filming a run-of-the-mill paper company for nine years, the same could definitely be said for the series finale. Those were Pam Beesly-Halpert's parting words to the documentary crew on the series finale of The Office.
