Thank goodness for second seasons. While the first season of The Office started dubiously with a pilot that was just a poor copy of the original British version, it did manage to provide enough good material to stay on the air and hint that better was yet to come. And here it is. The second season of The Office finds its own footing and manages to do the near-impossible by not only breaking free of the gravity of that excellent BBC version to stand solidly on its own, but establishing it as one of the best comedies on TV. Season 2 starts out strong with "The Dundies," where Regional Manager, Michael Scott (Steve Carell, The 40 Year Old Virgin) hosts the company's annual office-awards event with his signature less-than-perfect grace. Things seem to only get worse for him this season as he bumbles a potential affair with his boss, Jan (Melora Harding), angers his employees by reading their emails ("Email Surveillance"), cooks his foot ("The Injury"), and accidentally destroys the warehouse with a forklift in "Boys and Girls," one of the season's highlight episodes. Always at his side is the clueless paranoid Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson), the Assistant Regional Manager ("Assistant to the Regional Manager," Michael always reminds him in one of the show's running jokes).
One of the reasons for the show's improvement in the second season is increased focus on Dwight's character, who's becoming something of a pop-culture icon right down to having his own bobblehead. He in turn provides so much good material for Pam (Jenna Fischer) and Jim (John Krasinsky) to play off of, to their own amusement.But of course, Pam and Jim's simmering relationship is the real meat of the show, as their compatibility becomes more obvious, Jim's feelings for her continue to grow, and Pam struggles with the impending marriage to her less-than-caring boyfriend, Roy (David Denman). Things have to come to a head, and they do nicely in the final episode, "Casino Night." As strong as the leading characters are in The Office, it's the excellent peripheral characters that really make the show hilarious, especially dimwitted office-slug Kevin (Brian Baumgartner), long-suffering intern Ryan (B.J. Novak), office-ditz Kelly (Mindy Kaling), and ultra-conservative Angela (Angela Kinsey).As with season 1, this season contains excellent bonus features to give you an excuse to spend more time at The Office, including the fake PSAs, commentaries, Michael's The Faces of Scranton movie, the ten stand-alone webisodes, and deleted scenes. --Daniel Vancini

- Season Two gets into stride
The show works out some of the first season jitters. Characters and actors are meshed a bit better and we have an idea of who they are. The writing maintains the high standards and each show contains several good laughs.
Rating: - The best season by far
There is no point in comparing the NBC version of the Office to the BBC version. At this point in the show they are very dissimilar. However, this season contained some of the funniest episodes and moments of the show, and perhaps some of the funniest moments in "mockumentary" type humor. The show excels at awkward situations and "did he really just say that?!" lines. In addition, one of the sweetest and most popular television relationships of our time- the tale of Jim and Pam- is particularly interesting ... Read More
Rating: - I love this show!
I bought this for a friend. I have seen every episode of every season. I normally wouldn't recommend buying a TV show on DVD if you have already seen it but the DVD includes the full 40 minute episodes that include scenes not included on the TV show. It always manages to make me laugh and forget the every hectic things in life.
Rating: - LOVE IT!
I LOVE my order. I have been looking for it for a wile. THen chose to use Amazon. Thank you very much.
Rating: - The Office is amazing
This product was great. It got here on the day that it said it was to be delivered and I was not disapointed with the disc quality at all. Factory sealed and everything. The Office is a different kind of funny then most are used to. The use of pauses and silence only amplifies the humor intended. I recommend to all people who have a good sense of humor and are willing to sit down and watch such an amazing show. BTW after watching seasons 1 and 2 I was compelled to order 3 and 4 immediately after as I could ... Read More
