NBC may wish
Family Guy DVD|
Family Guy was just joking, but a network executive said "
family guy dvd series" star has consistently told NBC he's leaving after this coming season.
In the network's first acknowledgment of
mad men dvd's plans, NBC Primetime Entertainment President Angela Bromstad said Monday the actor's seven-year run as erratic
mad men complete season 3 boss Michael Scott will end when his contract expires in 2011. But Bromstad said the show will go on.
"We've been lucky to have had him as long as we've
Hayao Miyazaki Animation. These things happen when you have such a major movie star in a show," she said.
In an affirmation of NBC's faith in a post-Carell "
Hayao Miyazaki Movie," Bromstad said the sitcom will remain in its 9 p.m. EDT Thursday time slot. It's the linchpin of NBC's schedule on a key TV night of advertising
The Simpsons DVD Season.
"Not to diminish the departure of
The Simpsons Box Set, because that will impact the show, but we have tremendous faith in the writers and actors to keep it alive," Bromstad said.
Carell, 46, who's become a busy
Criminal Minds DVD actor during his "Office" tenure, has said in interviews he plans to leave the series to better balance his work and family life. He's married with two children.
Carell voices the lead character in the new
Criminal Minds DVD box set comedy "Despicable Me" and stars with Paul Rudd in "Dinner for
One Tree Hill DVD," out this week. His other film credits include "Date Night" and "The 40-Year-Old Virgin."
The door is open if he wants to make return

Carell was on vacation and unavailable for
Cold Case DVD|
Cold Case, his publicist, Matt Labov, said Monday.
Whether Michael Scott's job will be filled by a
Cold Case DVD Set from within or an outside hire is under discussion. Bringing in a big-name star is an option, but "it's not the front-running idea," said Paul Lieberstein, a cast member and executive
Medium1-6 DVD.
"Right now, we're still talking about a lot of
Medium DVD Box Set . We're trying to get a sense of what the office is like without Steve. We want to be real: What would this office really do (if Michael Scott left)? We want to pursue this as honestly as Dunder Mifflin
Medium DVD Season," he said.
Nobody wants to see Carell leave, said
Fullmetal Alchemist Movie, who plays Toby, the embattled voice of human-resources reason.
"But what we'll get creatively is actually very
Fullmetal Alchemist episodes We don't have to do auto reset at the end of the season, but we get to move on," he said.
Fans have weighed in noisily about how the
CSI Las Vegas DVD will fare without Carell.
"I hear from both, from people who don't want to watch without
CSI Las Vegas DVD Box Set and from people who say, 'Great ensemble. Keep going,'" Lieberstein said.
"It's not obvious to me we should stop," he said. "When
Hayao Miyazaki DVD Collection left the Bulls, nobody said the Bulls should stop. They didn't say, 'Shut down the franchise.'"
Bromstad said the comedy still
Hayao Miyazaki Animation Collection attention and "has a great patina" and talented cast that includes Rainn Wilson, Ed Helms and
looney tunes dvd.
