Season Guide
The Office — Season 7
Season 7 Review
To err is human. To irr is Michael Scott. He’s irritating, irrational and irrepressible. And those are the very same qualities that make him so irresistible.
Season Review
Season 7 is the farewell tour: Michael’s last season, ending with Goodbye, Michael — the show’s most emotional half-hour. The Holly reunion arc earns it. The rest is a mixed bag, but the goodbye sticks.
