NEW YORK -- Filming has stopped on the popular NBC sitcom "The Office" because star Steve Carell has refused to cross the picket lines of striking writers, a producer said Wednesday.

Greg Daniels, executive producer of the show, says the last new episode of the show will air next week. It is among at least eight prime-time shows to stop shooting as of Wednesday because of the strike.

A publicist for Carell did not immediately return calls from The Associated Press.

Sally Field, who won the best actress Oscar in 1979 for the pro-union film "Norma Rae," left the set of her show, "Brothers & Sisters," to visit strikers and show her support.

No new contract talks are scheduled

I am so bummed. I sure hope the strike doesn't last long. The Office and House are the only shows I enjoy each week and they both look like they only have a few more in the can until reruns start.

I think it's great some actors are supporting the writers. Still, I'm going to miss the show.

I'll have an emoticon do it . . .

So if you guys like The Office you must like 30 Rock, too, right? I really love that show. Alec Baldwin is hilarious with that deadpan humor. So tonight Al Gore is going to be on, it's an episode about going green!
