<P>The eighth season of the American <A href="/wiki/Television_comedy" title="Television comedy">television comedy</A> <I><A href="/wiki/The_Office_(U.S._TV_series)" title="The Office (U.S. TV series)">The Office</A></I> commenced airing on <A href="/wiki/NBC" title="NBC">NBC</A> in the United States on September 22, 2011, and concluded on May 10, 2012, consisting of 24 episodes. The series is an American adaptation of the <A href="/wiki/The_Office_(UK_TV_series)" title="The Office (UK TV series)">British comedy series of the same name</A>, and is presented in a <A href="/wiki/Mockumentary" title="Mockumentary">mockumentary</A> format, portraying the daily lives of office employees in the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of the fictitious <A href="/wiki/Dunder_Mifflin_Paper_Company" class="mw-redirect" title="Dunder Mifflin Paper Company">Dunder Mifflin Paper Company</A>. The eighth season of <I>The Office</I> aired on Thursdays at 9:00 p.m. (<A href="/wiki/Eastern_Time_Zone_(North_America)" class="mw-redirect" title="Eastern Time Zone (North America)">Eastern</A>) in the United States as part of the "<A href="/wiki/Comedy_Night_Done_Right" class="mw-redirect" title="Comedy Night Done Right">Comedy Night Done Right</A>" television block. This was the first season without <A href="/wiki/Steve_Carell" title="Steve Carell">Steve Carell</A> as <A href="/wiki/Michael_Scott_(The_Office)" title="Michael Scott (The Office)">Michael Scott</A> in the lead role and the only one to not feature the character in any capacity.</P>
<P>The eighth season largely centers on <A href="/wiki/Andy_Bernard" title="Andy Bernard">Andy Bernard</A>'s (<A href="/wiki/Ed_Helms" title="Ed Helms">Ed Helms</A>) ascension to regional manager, as well as the antics of <A href="/wiki/Robert_California" title="Robert California">Robert California</A> (<A href="/wiki/James_Spader" title="James Spader">James Spader</A>), the new CEO of Sabre, a fictional printer company that owns <A href="/wiki/Dunder_Mifflin" title="Dunder Mifflin">Dunder Mifflin</A>.

<P>Despite debuting with moderate viewing figures, the departure of Carell affected the show's ratings, which fell as the season progressed. The season ranked as the eighty-seventh most watched television series during the <A href="/wiki/2011%E2%80%9312_United_States_network_television_schedule" title="2011–12 United States network television schedule">2011–12 television year</A> and saw a dramatic decrease in ratings from <A href="/wiki/The_Office_(U.S._season_7)" title="The Office (U.S. season 7)">the previous season</A>. Critical reception was polarized. Many critics argued that the series should have ended after the departure of Carell; many also felt that the season recycled storylines from past episodes. Other critics were more positive, complimenting various actors and their characters. It marked the first time since <A href="/wiki/The_Office_(U.S._season_1)" title="The Office (U.S. season 1)">season one</A> that the show did not receive any <A href="/wiki/Emmy_Award" title="Emmy Award">Emmy nominations</A>.</P>
