The Year The Show Came Into Its Own 
2008-07-06
This is quite possible the best season of the American Office. It finally sets it self apart from its British counterpart, gets incredibly hilarious, and almost unstopping-ly cringe-worthy. Not to mention the occasional beautiful moment between Pam and Jim that truly makes it one of the best comedies on NBC right now- hell, on TV right now.
Best Comedy Series... Of All Time? 2008-06-30
As I said in my review for the second season, this is the best comedy on air. However, I have to amend that. The US version of "The Office" may very well be the best comedy series of all time.
That's a bold statement, yeah, but it doesn't make it any less true. Never before have I seen a comedy that really goes to the most ludicrous, ridiculous places and still manages to keep the integrity of the characters, creating a multi-layered story that can mean so many different things at once. Many times during this season, I found myself unsure whether to laugh, cry for, or just be insanely proud of these characters. From Dwight's pepper spray incident, to the Andy stuff, to the Pam/Jim/Karen triangle, to everything Michael did or said, this season was just so full of hilarious moments that, while they're still as gut bustingly funny as anything from the first season, really strive to move the audience by showing the humanity of these characters. After the supreme climax of Season Two's finale ("Casino Night") in which Pam and Jim finally kissed, this season could have been a let down in so many ways... but both the writers and the cast rose to the occasion, creating the best season they've turned in so far.
Not only is this season the best story and character-wise, it also has some major "perks." This season has more double-length episodes than we've seen before, and also has some really cool guest directors taking the reigns. Joss Whedon and J. J. Abrams are some examples. Also, there are some great new additions to the cast that really spice things up. All in all, it's another outstanding season that continues to set "The Office" apart from every other sitcom out there.

Hilarious! 2008-06-25
The funniest show on television! If you don't watch "The Office" yet, start now. Really, it is the funniest show around. You cannot lose.
Great Show 2008-06-24
I started watching this show around Christmas time and have been addicted. It's a great show, good comedy, a little over the top at points, but very funny.
If you like the office then you should already have this dvd 2008-06-12
basically all the office dvds are worth buying if you enjoy the show. Enough said
Full of Heart 2008-07-22
I was slow to catch on to The Office after season one, but then, Season 2 captured me entirely. The moment I finished watching the last episode of Season 2, I ran out and bought the third season. And I had to drive to another town to get it, and I was almost entirely broke. But I had to see it, and of course, it was all worth it.
The same things I admired so much about Season 2 I admire here. The Office is just about the only sitcom I can think of that has created such a meaningful and coherent storyline over several seasons. The Pam and Jim story is what drives this show, and the writers, producers, actors, and everyone else have outdone themselves in developing that story logically and meaningfully. The intrusion of Karen into that story has flipped things in a way that have allowed Pam and Jim to grow and learn to see their hearts. Really, this is a show that has more heart to it than any other currently on television.
The final two episodes of the season, especially, are wonderful. I can't tell you how many times I've watched Pam's speech at the end of "Beach Games." What a scene!
Of course, everything else is wonderful, too. Dwight has been brought along nicely, and the Michael and Jan relationship provides tons of laughs. I think that the writers made a smart move creating Andy. Dwight's become a little too likeable to be quite the goofy antagonist he was in the first couple of seasons. Andy handles some of that load well. The funniest moment of the whole series, in my opinion, is at the end of "Cocktails" when Andy reappears. I called about three people (who'd already seen the show) to talk about it afterward.
So, this is another wonderful season for The Office. It continues to be my favorite thing on tv.
Funny as always

Since we can't see the series on TV this is the next best way of watching it. Look forward to Season 4.
Another Laugh Out Loud Season for The Office 2008-07-10
I enjoy The Office so much, that I've added it to my TV DVD collection...in which only 2 other shows are a part of. There aren't many shows that I can watch over & over, but this show is one of them. Bad mood, long day, bored? I flip on The Office!
Season 3 was a different season, as we watched Jim go to another branch and we met some new employees/characters there. But, while at first I was skeptical, by the end of the season I really enjoyed the new additions to the cast. I also enjoyed a bit of the break in the monotony...I mean I love the Scranton branch, but only so much can happen, this brought in some new storylines to liven things up and keep the show fresh for viewers.
If you like The Office, I recommend buying a DVD, like I said, it's great to flip it on to a favorite episode when you're bored or bummed out. Laughter is the best medicine, and how many shows out there lately can make you laugh out loud?? If you haven't watched the show yet- I recommend starting with Season 2, Season 1 was a bit slow...so you may want to skip to the good stuff.
Cheers to the cast and writers of this show, keep up the great work!!
Wow. That was... wow. 2008-07-08
This the best show on TV, without a doubt. Like many people, my interest in it was something of a slow burn as the okay Season 1 ran into the excellent Season 2, and Season 3 proved to be the best so far.
The characters, writing and acting are superb - I have a few friends and relatives who'd never previously seen the show and I managed to convert them after making them watch only one episode.
Highly Recommended! Buy these DVDs now!
Best season so far! 2008-07-06
I received this as a gift after catching reruns of the office on TBS. Not watching the episodes sequentially I never really had a clear sense of what "season" I was in. I was pleasantly suprised when watching all the episodes that just about every one of my favorites so far were on this collection. A truly excellent run, and some exceelent commentary on episodes to boot. A must have for any fan of The Office!
