Tonight, NBC's "The Office" bids a final farewell to faithful Scranton branch manager Michael Scott -- and with him, star Steve Carell.
We still don't know who's replacing him (and we've been speculating plenty).
But we can comfort you with this: television is rife with wonderfully fun-to-watch bosses right now.
So if you're anticipating a painful bout of Scott-withdrawal, get to know these characters -- and quick, before much of the primetime TV disappears for the summer.
Amy Poehler's indefatigably positive Leslie Knope on "Parks and Recreation" (NBC).
Critics once feared that Poehler's Knope would play like a Michael Scott redux. But she's more than come into her own -- and we root for the Madeleine Albright devotee just as we've always cheered for Scott.
But she's not the only amazing boss on "Parks" -- Nick Offerman's "Ron Swanson" is pure character gold.
He's Knope's beef-happy superior -- and the anti-boss, the only man we know whose lips curl into a mustache-hidden smile at the threat of a government shutdown.
Christine Baranski's wry, powerful Diane Lockhart on "The Good Wife" (CBS).
The word fabulous is overused today -- but that's what Baranski's law-firm partner is. There's a "Mad Men" quality to her tailored-suit-rocking, scotch-swilling performance -- but it's her dry one-liners that make her such a joy to watch.
