The U.S. version of “The Office” goes off the air this week once and for all with its series finale. The show stuck around longer than it probably should have and there was no real fan backlash when NBC announced its days were numbered. But New York magazine’s Vulture blog (http://vult.re/10IXfj9) argues the show redeemed itself in its final season, after a long stretch of mediocrity, and is worthy of your attention on Thursday night.
Producer Greg Daniels shared with TV Guide (http://bit.ly/130T3Nv) 10 things you probably didn’t know about the show, including actors and actresses that narrowly missed out on joining the cast and spin-offs that almost went to air.
Other season finales this week include “2 Broke Girls,” “American Idol,” “The Big Bang Theory,” “Castle,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “How I Met Your Mother,” “The Mindy Project,” “NCIS” and “NCIS: Los Angeles,” “New Girl” and “Saturday Night Live.”
There’s just one season of “How I Met Your Mother” to go and a new promo for the show (http://bit.ly/179Afm6) hints there’s something big — “the mother of all secrets” — revealed on Monday night.

Trebek does say he can imagine hosting a weekly interview-type show after “Jeopardy” and gives his blessing to a couple of big names that have been mentioned as possible replacements.
