Steve Carell famously played bumbling branch manager Michael Scott on The Office, and though Carell has since gone on to be a real-deal movie star, his next move looks like what the always-wrong Michael Scott might call a "365 degree turn."

Carell is not only boomeranging back to TV, but coming back to play a morning show anchor struggling to maintain relevance in a rapidly changing media environment.

I like Dwight.

The funniest part of the show were the Jim vs Dwight battles. Carrell's character and performance toward the last half of the series really got stale.

Post by: corbe on December 01, 2018, 10:20:57 pm: @Freya It's called 'The Office', there is a UK version as well on Netflix but Steve Carrell starred in the US Version.

My Netflix account is showing Season 4 only but I suspect it's screwed up since a few others are on it, right now.

Those were epic!
