I was going to go into this whole thing about how The Office can't go on without Michael Scott, but then realized it's a widely-held enough proposition that it doesn't exactly need my analysis to prop it up. That being said, I do think there are three ways one could keep the show going without Michael Scott to kick around.
1. Bring in David Brent. As unlikely to happen as Michael Scott staying, but it's the best shot the show has to keep going on and going on well.
2. Retool the show around younger staffers. You know, like the last season of Scrubs.
3. Nudity. Moreso Pam than, say, Kevin.
There is talk that the show will carry on, and that the ensenble cast is strong enough to keep the show going. That's probably true. Maybe they can go the Murphy Brown route and have a different guest star as manager every episode. Anyway, it certainly can go on (what else does NBC have to air?), it just shouldn't go on.
