It seems to me it would be cancelled. No, a replacement can’t carry Michael’s water. I am glad Kathey Bates is gone myself.
Will Ferrell pinch hitting for a month should be ok. But then I read where Carell might cameo on a few episodes next year, so that tells me that they know the show without him will be dung.
Kathy Bates was totally annoying. I HATE the Gabe character.
