The start of the new seasons in television this fall means saying goodbye to the critically acclaimed mockumentary, “The Office.” However, some characters live on, if not in the way we expect.

“Office” writer Mindy Kaling, also known as the pop-culture driven character Kelly Kapoor, introduces her new sitcom titled, “The Mindy Kaling Project.” Rainn Wilson, who plays beet farmer and top salesman on The Office, Dwight K. Shrute, will move on once the season ends in a spin-off show called, “The Farm,” based off of his beet farm he runs with his cousin, Mose.

In season seven, “Office” fans had to say goodbye to the “worlds best boss,” Michael Scott (played by Steve Carell). Though it was a very heartwarming and comedic-genius season, the show hasn’t been the same. After many replacements took over the Dunder-Mifflin Sabre Branch in Scranton (including guest star Will Ferrell) and James Spader as Dunder-Mifflin’s new CEO (after he replaced Kathy Bates), and of course Dwight K. Shrute, the writers decided that Ed Helms’ character, Andy Bernard should take over.

Though Bernard has changed dramatically since his first season being on The Office, transitioning from Steve Carell is difficult. This season will be the last for The Office after a nine season run.

“The Mindy Project,” however, is doing extremely well. Kaling, who directs, writes and stars in the show as Dr. Mindy Lahiri, OB/GYN, has won over fans after the release of her autobiographical memoir of life, love, and the rules of friendship called “Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns)” with comedy and class. As Dr. Lahiri battles a social life and being an amazing OB/GYN (a role she created after her mother, who passed away the day her pilot was picked up) and finding “true” love, she runs into a few mishaps along the way.

Tune into the Mindy’s life at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday nights on FOX and last season of The Office 9:30 p.m. Thursday nights on NBC.
