Summary: A great beginning to a great sitcom
Comment: I have to say that I love "The Office" and silly me didn't watch it from the beginning and I'm sorry I didn't! It's great to see Steve Carrell with less hair (shock!) and looking a bit more, um, sleazy. From Diversity Day to the Handbag Girl, this is a great beginning. I can't wait to get the remaining seasons.

Summary: Still haven't got it.
Comment: I ordered this series a month ago, I received in the mail a completely different movie addressed to someone in connecticut ( I live in Louisiana) I then payed out of my own pocket to mail it to the address on the slip. I contacted the seller and they said they would work on getting me my product. Then yesterday I sent an email to see what was going on and they told me they have confirmation of delivery a month ago. So now I have to reexplain what happened to what I am assuming is a different employee.

Summary: A Short Burst of Sitcom Glory
Comment: The first season of The Office is a mere six episodes long, but don't let the brevity of this season dissuade you from purchasing it (just wait 'til it goes on sale). If you've never seen the beginning of The Office then this season on DVD is crucial as it sets up the relationships between Dwight and Jim, Michael and his employees, and to some extent Jim and Pam (although their developing relationship doesn't really take center stage 'til later seasons).

The six episodes featured on this DVD are hysterical and something I watch again and again, at least once every couple months. Due to its high replay value I definitely recommend purchasing this season on DVD. It's also one that has been loaned to friends several times so they can all see how The Office started and while you might be thinking, "Why would I buy this when TBS shows reruns of The Office all the time?" you should buy it because they don't often air Season One episodes, and they don't necessarily show the episodes in order and I really think The Office, with its inside jokes and awkward relationships, is really best watched in order.

Happy viewing!

Summary: best show on TV and worth the purchase on DVD
Comment: This is a funny show. If you've ever worked in an office, you will relate to it, perhaps a little more than you want to admit! :)

If you are a fan of the UK version, you will recognize some of the first episodes. That was interesting to me, since there are subtle differences that tailor each for its audience.

Great cast of "unknown" actors. Some really funny characters that, again, are not too far from the people you'd see in a real office.

Summary: The First and Best Season
Comment:
The first season of THE OFFICE consisted of only a few episodes (this is a one DVD "set") but they were hilarious.

The show was shot in "documentary style", and it follows the work and lives of the Scranton, Pennsylvania employees of a printing company, Dunder Mifflin. Except for the beet-farming German-American character, Dwight Schrute, the characters seemed like real people. (Dwight was portrayed as too crazy to be real from the start.) The head of the office, Michael Scott, was portrayed as quirky but not as the total idiot that he would become in the following seasons. It was laugh out loud funny, with healthy doses of politically incorrect humor.

In the second season, more characters were developed into "too crazy to be believable", and it devolved into a soap opera. There were less laughs and, too often, the viewer is left thinking, "This is just too stupid."

During it's first season, THE OFFICE was the best show on television since at least the late 1980s. (Not that that's saying much.)
