It’s true that The Office has fallen off (sometimes precipitously) in recent years with a funny, insightful episodes becoming the exception instead of the rule, but I was moved by Michael’s proposal to Holly last night.  These two characters are perfect for one another, and this is a graceful way to take Steve Carell off the series.  Despite the fact that he infuriates me, I could never really hate Michael.  That was part of the beauty of the series:  getting me to continue to pull for the guy despite having so many reasons not to do so.
