Though there had been rumblings that NBC sitcom "The Office" had taken more than a few missteps the past two seasons, the lead-up to Steve Carell's departure was more funny than not, and the appearance of James Spader seemed to rejuvenate writers. An "Office" bit at the Emmys offered continued reasons to be excited for the upcoming season, as Aziz Ansari from "Parks and Recreation" and Cee-Lo Green from "The Voice" had their turns complaining about work or wreaking havoc on an office. Sure, it ended with Ashton Kutcher again hyping the vastly overhyped "Two and a Half Men," but Creed getting a delivery of meth from "Breaking Bad's" Aaron Paul was delightfully inspired.<br>
