Not Comics: Office Exhausted, Too?

Someone a lot savvier than I am could probably articulate a direct link between this Slate article about someone trying to figure out what's wrong with the television show The Office and the notion floated here yesterday that certain superhero concepts might be suffering from long-term exhaustion. All I can say is that it sort of seems like a similar outlook is in play.

I'm not a fan of that show, but I watched the last three episodes of the Canadian television series Slings and Arrows last night and thought about how satisfying a package that was at 18 episodes over three seasons, and how any more of them would have been really pushing it.
