The Office -- Unspoiled speculation -- for comedic purposes, Andy would be the best choice as branch manager. But I suspect they'll choose an outsider.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Something in the episode made me think it would be Jim after all, but now I can't remember specifically what.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Jesse, I was trying to figure out how they might get there, since everyone else looks like a really bad choice.
At least Andy as the new boss would make the Andy/Erin plot-line seem like less of a re-tread of Pam/Jim.
I think the main place to go with Darryl is "ha, ha, he doesn't know about how offices work!" which is bad-touch comedy, IMO.
Dwight is clearly Right Out.
And they wouldn't inflict that much Kelly on us, right?
I don't see bringing back any of the guest-stars (although the text would support Catherine Tate or Jim Carrey). I will be irritated if they bring in a new person who we didn't see.

Ann, that's a ferret.
In a real world, Jim would be an obvious choice (except for the inherent conflict of interest involved in supervising a family member, his wife). But the show has spent too long shaping him as the POV character/"Mr. Normal." Which limits his comedic potential.
Catherine Tate's character would be an interesting choice. "This week, all of the walls will be painted green! Next week, we'll try An Office Without Chairs!" There's probably enough there to get through one season, at least.
Agree with Debet about Darryl. Yet, oddly, in some ways he'd be a pretty good real-life choice. He has a very solid knowledge of the warehouse, which is as many elements of the business as, say, Andy or Dwight.
Of course, if Jo is willing to allow Dwight back into the field, who's to say she won't end up with Gabe?

A reminder to fellow Glee watchers - the finale will be on an hour later tonight due to Idol. And since it's Idol, I'm also setting my dvr to end a few minutes late.

Ryan Murphy is aware that 94% of the U.S. population doesn't live in New York City, right?

But that 94% want to live there!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love that I only see certain things on the internet. Before I had seen the episode, or anything negative, I read a huge and awesome rant against people saying that "someone like" Trouty-Mouth wouldn't want to be with "someone like" Mercedes.
