Full of Heart

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. July 14, 2008

Another Laugh Out Loud Season for The Office

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!! July 10, 2008

Wow. That was... wow.

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! July 8, 2008

Best season so far!

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! July 6, 2008
