Those who still keep up with The Office

I agree.

i definitely would feel upset.

I hope he comes back for a 4-5 episode arc to end the show.

That's what I'm hoping, but I'd be happy with just the finale. I feel like if he doesn't even show up the finale, it was be a complete failure.

He needs to come back as a big hippy since he lives in Colorado now

You seem extremely mad.

Michael Scott is the Scranton Strangler.

My dream idea is that while Michael is away he did something really successful that caught the attention of David Wallace. Andy is doing such a terrible job that he is eventually fired or he loses it and quits. Due to Andy's incompetence Sabre begins to go under and the characters again fear for their job. In the end the company gets turned around and it is revealed to be Michael that saved Sabre. While Michael does not return to the Manager position he is given a high level position running the company.

I think it would be great to see that while Michael was away he got married, became a father, and ultimately became a very competent person.

I would be disappointed but also I'd say I'd be more upset that Steve carell didn't show respect to the show that made him to make an appearance

Would you be disappointed if Steve Carell doesn't appear in at least the series finale? I was just having this conversation with a roommate, and I say yes.

It would make the finale more relevant and if the finale is about the closing down of that office, it would make sense for Michael to want to show up.

If its just a few characters quitting and the office and Dunder Mifflin stay open, I see no logical reason for Michael to be there. Story-wise that is.

The show absolutely needs to end with a "that's what she said." Or someone says something that can be taken in a sexual nature and Michael turns to the camera and just smiles. Fade to black.
