Product Description
Mockumentary that follows the comedic exploits of a paper supply company in Scranton, Pa.
Amazon.com
After a shaky first season of finding its footing, and a second season of establishing itself as one of the funniest shows on TV, the third season of The Office finds the show in its strongest form yet, thanks in large part to the addition of some new characters and stronger plotlines centered on office romances. A corporate merger brings the Stamford staff to the Scranton office of Dunder-Mifflin a quarter of the way through the season giving a nice boost to the season's arc of story lines, especially the addition of Andy (Ed Helms, another Daily Show alum in a role that seems custom made for him) who serves as yet another foil to Dwight (Rainn Wilson) in his unending fight for Michael's approval. As the season begins, the focus is more on Michael (Steve Carell) and his unique "leadership" style in the Scranton office. "A good boss gruntles the disgruntled," and despite his best intentions, he proceeds to somehow screw it up, as in the opening episode, "Gay Witch Hunt," in which he accidentally outs a gay employee. In the second episode, "The Convention," Michael tries to get the party started at the Mid-Market Office Supply Convention ("fun jeans"), and ends up revealing his insecurity about Jim's (John Krasinski) decision to move to Stamford. It leads up to "The Coup," where Dwight meets with Michael's Boss Jan (Melora Hardin) in a misguided attempt to take control of the office. The merger of the two offices into the Scranton location provides the fuel needed to continue the Jim and Pam (Jenna Fischer) subplot as Jim returns with his new girlfriend, Karen (Rashida Jones) who also transferred, and with Pam no longer engaged to Roy, the tension among them increases significantly. Other major plot points this season include: Dwight shows his true feelings for Angela in an excellent climax to one of the funniest subplots on the show; Michael negotiates a raise after learning he barely makes more than his subordinates; new office suck-up Andy is forced into anger management classes; and finally, in what may be the most bizarre company retreat in history, a day at the beach ends with Pam revealing her true feelings for Jim in front of the entire office. The season wraps up in unpredictable fashion when Karen, Michael, and Jim all travel to headquarters to interview for the same position. The strength of this season just continues to solidify The Office's place as the preeminent satire of today's cubicle culture. --Daniel Vancini

A jewel of a show! May 15, 2010
Thomas A. Burk (Pasadena, CA)
I'm so late to this amazing party, I happened to see Episodes 2 to 6 of Season 3 one night on TBS. What is this, I wondered? I went out and got Season 2 and 3 (I still have to see Season 1, 4, and subs) so I could enjoy the show in order. Each and every character is so well-drawn. Having spent my entire working life in an office (I'm 53 now), the premise of this show is near and dear to my heart. There are so many great stories that we all have of office life, and this show is like a whirlwind of laughter and fun and rings so true. Michael and Jan are amazingly good, Dwight, Angela, Toby, the guys in the warehouse, its just a ball to observe and laugh with and at them. And Jim and Pam are priceless. Office attractions, now that some of us are old enough to look back on them, are an amazing part of life. The very end of Season 2 was just electric, and to see Pam's beautiful face at the very end of Season 3's last show is just transcendent. She is, without question, portrayed so well by Jenna Fischer, and John Krasinski is equally good as Jim, that I feel a part of their world. I'm already worried that I'll finish seeing all the Seasons -- and then what? I just don't want the party to end.
 The Soap Opera Continues... May 8, 2010
JamesNYC (New York, NY USA)
In the third season, you see the writers of THE OFFICE slowly start to run out of ideas for humour. Instead, they try to hook you with soap opera. And they do a pretty good job of it.
The show is still funny - often enough to make it a watchable comedy - but it becomes less and less so. Unfortunately, the show is sometimes too stupid to be funny.

The description said new and when I received the DVD in the mail there was no plastic wrapping around the DVD's and the inside holders of 2 DVD's were broken. I did return this item.

My husband ordered another season The Office and still got it before me, but I still received it within the shipping period they described. It was in great condition, no complaints.
That's life! March 14, 2010

Good ideas, good stories and good actors. Question: can there be more? As long as I do not know, I'll watch and love "The Office".
The addiction grows with every season - so I'm on level three right know. Good feeling.
