I disagree. I think The Office's biggest mistake was not developing more of the characters on the show. They only really had 2 plots going. Jim\Pam story which had to play out at some point ( or it would become like Whos the boss and nobody would care by the time it was done), and Michael Scott. They never dug into anyone else really. So once Jim\Pam was done and Carell left the show they have no where else to go and it took a nose dive.
