Search - The Office - Season Three on DVD

I give it 5 stars out of 5...."That's what she said."

Personally, I recommend this to anyone who works in an office setting. So many ridiculous things happen each episode. The Office is one of the few shows that does not rely on episode continuity(ie: one episode leaves you in suspense so you have to tune in next week to find out what happens) or at least as much as others.

Season 3 is fantastic, and it just keeps getting better. Michael hates Toby, Jim plays more pranks on Dwight, Ben Franklin gets saucy, and Phylis gets married to Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration. Enjoy this one as much as you can, since new episodes of the current season are halted due to the WGA strike.

"Dwight Schrute: I don't care what Jim says. That, is not the real Ben Franklin. I am 99% sure."

Once you get your hands on this you'll never put it down..."That's what she said."

Painful, hilarious

"OK, so it's an imitation of a British show. But it's a good imitation. The Pam/Jim saga is heart breaking and wonderful, the Dwight/Jim hostility is satisfying in a naughty way. The supporting characters are wonderfully real and flawed. Not to single any one of them out, as they're all worth watching (and how often can you say that about such a big cast), but Creed is a scream. How many layers of creepiness can one guy have? I haven't mentioned Michael Scott (Steve Carell) because his obvious comic brilliance is sort of compromised for me by the pain of watching his character in action. It's almost too painful to bear."

The Office - The Most Compelling Show Not Yet Cancelled

"Not too long ago, Arrested Development had me laughing hysterically, dropping my jaw in shock, and then laughing even more hysterically every episode. Until, of course, it got canned.

I went through all 5 stages of grief. Denial: another network will pick it up! Anger: why this show? WHY? It is so funny! Bargaining: Cancel my other favorite shows, I don't care, just don't take this one! Depression: A show this funny will never come again! NEVER! *Cries*

It wasn't until I saw The Office, specifically season 3, that I finally reached stage 5 with acceptance. This show is not only as hilarious and shocking as Arrested Development, it actually has a sweet sprinkle of heart that Arrested Development never really had.

The Pam/Jim struggle has always been compelling, and season 2 left off with a frustrating cliff hanger. But this time, the romance is switched from Jim chasing Pam to Pam chasing Jim. It's truly compelling TV, watching Pam try to win Jim back, while trying to break into the art scene, all while keeping the whole Office family together.

While Michael and Dwight may provide the most laughs, Pam is who made me watch all of season 3 in just one weekend. I just had to see what she was going to do; whether she would give up and be back with Roy again, or if she would have the courage to stand up and fight for what she really wants.

Season 1 was good, Season 2, despite the frustrating cliff hanger, was great. Season 3? Fantastic. And this particular cliff hanger has to be the sweetest in television history. You'll see what I mean.

There's also several other surprises in store. I won't ruin them for you. Must watch TV, my highest recommendations!"

I love this show!!

"In my opinion The Office is one of the funniest shows that has ever been on television.. this season was the best so far but, every episode of all 3 seasons has made me laugh, which no other show has done, i cant wait for season 4 to start on the 27th!"
